Efficacy of Adjunctive Tofacitinib Therapy in Mouse Models of Tuberculosis
The global tuberculosis (TB) epidemic and the spread of multi- and extensively-drug resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) have been fueled by low adherence to following lengthy treatment protocols, and the rapid spread of HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). Persistence of the infection in immunocompetent individuals follows from the ability of M.tb to subvert host immune respon...

Standard chemotherapy of tuberculosis (TB), which is caused by infection withMycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and which primarily affects the lung, consists of a combination of antimicrobial drugs (isoniazid, rifampin, ethambutol and pyrazinamide). Concomitant administration of these antimicrobials helps eradicate active infection and prevents disease relapse (Zumla et al., 2015). In most patie...

Background: Sperm DNA damage (SDD) is a significant male infertility factor, yet it is not routinely diagnosed or treated in couples undertaking fertility treatment by ART. Men with this condition are likely to experience sub-fertility or infertility, expose their female partners to greater risk of miscarriage and pass on de novo sporadic DNA mutations potentially compromising the health of the...

Pharmacologic Inhibition of Host Phosphodiesterase-4 Improves Isoniazid-Mediated Clearance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
The lengthy duration of multidrug therapy needed to cure tuberculosis (TB) poses significant challenges for global control of the disease. Moreover, chronic inflammation associated with TB leads to pulmonary damage that can remain even after successful cure. Thus, there is a great need for the development of effective shorter drug regimens to improve clinical outcome and strengthen TB control. ...
