Zhongguo shiyan zhenduanxue, 2021 结核病是由结核分枝杆菌复合群感染导致的慢性疾病,结核病是一个威胁人类健康的全球性公共卫生问题[1]。非结核分枝杆菌(NTM)是指除结核分枝杆菌复合群和麻风分枝杆菌以外的分枝杆菌。在发达国家和发展中国家,肺非结核分枝杆菌病的患病率呈增加趋势[2-9]。因临床上肺结核与肺非结核分枝杆菌病临床表现相似,均痰检抗酸杆菌阳性,易导致误诊,NTM对某些常用的抗结核药天然耐药,造成患者久治不愈[10-12],不能得到及时的诊治,

The new electrochemical DNA sensor for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and its drug resistance gene [PDF]
, 2016 耐药结核分枝杆菌，尤其是耐多药结核分枝杆菌的出现给结核病的检测和治疗带来了巨大的挑战，对人类健康产生了极大威胁。目前临床上常用的结核病的检测方法分别存在操作繁琐、仪器昂贵、耗时较长及易污染等不足。电化学DNA传感器是近几年发展起来的一种新型生物传感器，因其简单、灵敏、特异性强、易微型化等特点受到研究者的青睐，已被应用于多个领域的研究。然而电化学DNA传感器易受其他因素的干扰造成结果不稳定。实验前期构建的BSA单分子层控制组装界面为基础的电化学DNA传感器，有效地提高了体系的稳定性。本文在前期研究基础上 ...

Biochemical characteristics and function studies of Esx-1 secretion-associated protein EspL and EspG1 [PDF]
, 2016 由巨噬细胞等人体免疫细胞聚集形成的肉芽肿是结核病的形成标志，肉芽肿的形成在结核分枝杆菌的致病过程中扮演着重要角色，它使被感染的宿主与结核分枝杆菌融合在一起。结核分枝杆菌通过特异性的蛋白分泌系统Esx-1分泌系统将具有毒性作用的毒力因子通过高疏水性的细胞膜分泌到胞外。这些毒力因子与宿主中肉芽肿的形成以及结核分枝杆菌毒性作用有关。EspL是结核分枝杆菌Esx-1分泌系统中的一个重要的蛋白，已有研究表明EspL可能通过影响另外两个毒力因子EspE和ESAT-6的分泌而调控肉芽肿的形成 ...
