Antimycobacterial Activities of an Edible Mushroom Extract and its Synergy with the Standard Antituberculous Drugs [PDF]
Introduction: Tuberculosis is a leading cause of death in most developing countries mainly due to drug resistance. Mushrooms are reservoirs of many unexplored active ingredients in relation to antimicrobial applications, giving us a scope to exploit it ...

embCAB Sequence Variation Among Ethambutol-Resistant Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Isolates Without embB306 Mutation [PDF]
Mechanisms of resistance to ethambutol in Mycobacterium tuberculosis remain inadequately described. Although there is mounting evidence that mutations of codon 306 in embB play a key role, a significant number of phenotypically ethambutol-resistant ...

Mycobacterial Cell Wall Synthesis Inhibitors Cause Lethal ATP Burst
Mycobacterial cell wall inhibitors interfere with targets involved in synthesis of mycolic acids, arabinogalactan and peptidoglycan. These antibiotics corrupt structural integrity of the cell envelope and this is believed to be the cause of drug mediated

Ethambutol optic neuropathy in the extended anti-tubercular therapy regime: A systematic review
The extended use of ethambutol beyond 2 months for treating tuberculosis has increased risk of optic neuropathy. We performed a systematic review of studies evaluating optic neuropathy in extended ethambutol use since 2010 and compared the outcome with a
