Immune response induced by three Mycobacterium bovis BCG substrains with diverse regions of deletion in a C57BL/6 mouse model.
This study was performed to examine the adaptive immune response generated by three Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) substrains to determine if the number of genomic regions of deletion played a significant role in determining the magnitude of the immune response or affected their ability to reduce the bacterial burden following low-dose aerosol challenge with a virulent M. tu...
متن کاملCharacterization of exochelins of the Mycobacterium bovis type strain and BCG substrains.
Pathogenic mycobacteria must acquire iron in the host in order to multiply and cause disease. To do so, they release abundant quantities of siderophores called exochelins, which have the capacity to scavenge iron from host iron-binding proteins and deliver it to the mycobacteria. In this study, we have characterized the exochelins of Mycobacterium bovis, the causative agent of bovine and occasi...
متن کاملClinical and immune impact of Mycobacterium bovis BCG vaccination scarring.
The World Health Organization recommends Mycobacterium bovis BCG vaccination in areas of high tuberculosis prevalence. BCG's clinical and immune effects, not necessarily Mycobacterium tuberculosis specific, are unclear. BCG vaccine scarring often is used as a surrogate marker of vaccination or of effective vaccination. We evaluated BCG scarring status in relation to clinical findings and outcom...
متن کاملCharacterization of the heat shock response in Mycobacterium bovis BCG.
We have for the first time characterized the heat shock response in mycobacteria both at the level of transcription, by RNA extraction, Northern (RNA) blotting, and hybridization with gene-specific probes for the Mycobacterium tuberculosis 65- and 71-kDa heat shock proteins (HSPs), and at the level of translation, by [35S]methionine labelling, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electroph...
متن کاملMycobacterium bovis BCG response regulator essential for hypoxic dormancy.
Obligately aerobic tubercle bacilli are capable of adapting to survive hypoxia by developing into a nonreplicating or dormant form. Dormant bacilli maintain viability for extended periods. Furthermore, they are resistant to antimycobacterials, and hence, dormancy might play a role in the persistence of tuberculosis infection despite prolonged chemotherapy. Previously, we have grown dormant Myco...
