Redox homeostasis in mycobacteria: the key to tuberculosis control?
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a metabolically flexible pathogen that has the extraordinary ability to sense and adapt to the continuously changing host environment experienced during decades of persistent infection. Mtb is continually exposed to endogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS) as part of normal aerobic respiration, as well as exogenous ROS and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) gene...
متن کاملThe role and characteristic of antioxidant for redox homeostasis control system in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
At the time macrophages phagocyte against Mycobacterium tuberculosis entry, it occurs respiratory burst, and become the initial formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Reactive oxygen species such as nitric oxide and oxygen radicals kill the mycobacterium bacteria. However, Mycobacterium tuberculosis has an antioxidant that plays a role in redox homeostasis system which protects itself from...
متن کاملRedox control of copper homeostasis in cyanobacteria.
Copper is essential for all living organisms but is toxic when present in excess. Therefore organisms have developed homeostatic mechanism to tightly regulate its cellular concentration. In a recent study we have shown that CopRS two-component system is essential for copper resistance in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp PCC 6803. This two-component regulates expression of a heavy-metal RND t...
متن کاملStudy of HIV seroprevalence in Pulmonary Tuberculosis Patients with Special Reference to Multidrug Resistant Mycobacteria
This study was planned to determine HIV seroprevalence among pulmonary tuberculosis patients, to characterize the isolated mycobacteria into typical and atypical strains and to evaluate the drug resistant pattern of mycobacterial isolates. The study aims to correlate multidrug resistance (MDR) and HIV seropositivity status in pulmonary tuberculosis patients. During the year 1994-1997, 750 pulmo...
