A 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 کاملImpaired gamma interferon response to Mycobacterium vaccae antigens in patients with cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis.
The ability of tuberculosis patients to recognize Mycobacterium vaccae-specific antigens before starting chemotherapy and according to disease severity was analyzed. We report that the M. vaccae cell wall skeleton fraction triggers more enhanced cytokine production than the whole bacterium. Moreover, a tendency was observed for a lower gamma interferon/interleukin-10 ratio in patients with cavi...
متن کاملAcquired Resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to Bedaquiline
Bedaquiline (BDQ), an ATP synthase inhibitor, is the first drug to be approved for treatment of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis in decades. In vitro resistance to BDQ was previously shown to be due to target-based mutations. Here we report that non-target based resistance to BDQ, and cross-resistance to clofazimine (CFZ), is due to mutations in Rv0678, a transcriptional repressor of the genes...
متن کاملPoint-Mutations in embB306 Gene and Their Association with Resistance to Ethambutol in Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Clinical Isolates
Background & Objective: Mutations in embB306 gene and their association with resistance to ethambutol (EMB) in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) have not been fully investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate the point-mutations in emb306B gene and their association with resistance to EMB in M. tuberculosis. Materials & Methods: This case (M. tuberculosis resistant to EMB...
متن کاملTranscriptional networks are associated with resistance to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection
RATIONALE Understanding mechanisms of resistance to M. tuberculosis (M.tb) infection in humans could identify novel therapeutic strategies as it has for other infectious diseases, such as HIV. OBJECTIVES To compare the early transcriptional response of M.tb-infected monocytes between Ugandan household contacts of tuberculosis patients who demonstrate clinical resistance to M.tb infection (cas...
