Note
A method for detecting multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis by using a reduction of resazurin is described. Eighty clinical isolates were evaluated against isoniazid and rifampin; results at 7 days were compared with those of the proportion method. Specificity and sensitivity were excellent. The method is simple, inexpensive, and rapid and might be used with other antituberculosis drugs.
Resazurin is effectively reduced in mitochondria, making it useful also to assess mitochondrial metabolic activity.
Resazurin can be used to assay L-Glutamate, achieving a sensitivity of 2.0 pmol per well in a 96 well plate.
Resazurin can also be used to measure the aerobic biodegradation of organic matter found in effluents.
