Mycobacterium tuberculosis population structures differ significantly on two Indonesian Islands.
Comparison of Mycobacterium tuberculosis genotype distributions in different areas might help to find determinants of the emergence of certain genotypes, such as the Beijing family. In this study, M. tuberculosis isolates originating from patients from two Indonesian islands were genotyped, and possible associations with patients' characteristics and drug resistance were explored. A high degree...
متن کاملTuberculosis relapse in Vietnam is significantly associated with Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing genotype infections.
BACKGROUND In Vietnam, the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing genotype is associated with multi-drug resistance and is emerging. A possible explanation for this genotype's success is an increased rate of relapse. METHODS In a prospective cohort study, isolates from patients with smear-positive tuberculosis were subjected to drug susceptibility testing and to spoligotyping and variable number ...
متن کاملTwo-Component System of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
Two Component Systems (TCSs), are widespread signal transduction devices in prokaryotes that enable these organisms to elicit an adaptive response to environmental stimuli, primarily through changes in gene expression [1]. They are typically composed of a membrane-located sensor with histidine kinase activity and a cytoplasmic transcriptional regulator. Generally, stimuli detected by TCS autoph...
متن کاملA STUDY OF MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS DRUG RESISTANCE IN PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS
Tuberculosis remains a major public health problem in both developing and developed countries. Drug-resistant tuberculosis is an increasing health problem and serious challenge to tuberculosis (TB) control programs. Information about the susceptibility pattern of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates against anti-tuberculosis drugs is an important aspect to TB control. The objectives of the s...
متن کاملCrystal structures, metal activation, and DNA-binding properties of two-domain IdeR from Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
The iron-dependent regulator IdeR is a key transcriptional regulator of iron uptake in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In order to increase our insight into the role of the SH3-like third domain of this essential regulator, the metal-binding and DNA-binding properties of two-domain IdeR (2D-IdeR) whose SH3-like domain has been truncated were characterized. The equilibrium dissociation constants for...
