Protein array identification of protein markers for serodiagnosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection
The lack of effective and accurate diagnostic tools contributes to the high prevalence of tuberculosis (TB) worldwide. The current serodiagnostics for TB are inadequate mainly due to lack of TB-specific antigens with highly accurate diagnosis. In the current study, we aimed to identify novel diagnostic antigens using glutathione S-transferase (GST)-fusion protein technique. We determined the re...
متن کاملORFeome-based identification of biomarkers for serodiagnosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis latent infection
BACKGROUND The challenges posed by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection require the gradual removal of the pool of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). The current cell-immune-based diagnostic tests used to identify LTBI individuals have several irreversible drawbacks. In the present study, we attempted to identify novel diagnostic antigens for LTBI. METHODS A high-throughput glutathione S-t...
متن کاملDetection of Non-Tuberculosis Mycobacteria Infection due to Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium kansasii in Patients Suspected of Tuberculosis in Isfahan, Iran
Several reports have indicated that infection with Non-Tuberculosis Mycobacteria (NTM) is increasing worldwide.Therefore,monitoring species causing micobacterial infection in any region is of great importance. This study was going to detect, differentiate, and identify pathogenic mycobacteria in primary clinical samples. Eighty samples collected from tuberculosis suspected patients in Isfahan/I...
متن کاملSerodiagnosis of Mycobacterium abscessus complex infection in cystic fibrosis.
Early signs of pulmonary disease with Mycobacterium abscessus complex (MABSC) can be missed in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). A serological method could help stratify patients according to risk. The objective of this study was to test the diagnostic accuracy of a novel method for investigating IgG activity against MABSC.A prospective study of all patients attending the Copenhagen CF Centre...
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...
