The document summarizes Ahmed Mohamed's research searching for anti-microbial substances from marine resources that can act against dormant mycobacterial bacilli. Key findings include isolating anti-mycobacterial peptides from marine-derived fungi and a glycolipid from a marine sponge. Testing showed the compounds were effective against Mycobacterium strains under hypoxic conditions mimicking the dormant state, with minimum inhibitory concentrations ranging from 0.02 to 200 micrograms per milliliter depending on the compound and strain. The research aims to address challenges in treating persistent tuberculosis infections.
