Association between Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex phylogenetic lineage and acquired drug resistance.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
BackgroundDevelopment of resistance to antituberculosis drugs during treatment (i.e., acquired resistance) can lead to emergence of resistant strains and consequent poor clinical outcomes. However, it is unknown whether Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex

Correlation between Isoniazid Resistance and Superoxide Reactivity in Mycobacterium tuberculosis KatG

open access: yes, 2016
Isoniazid is an antituberculosis prodrug that requires activation by the catalase-peroxidase (KatG) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The activated species, presumed to be an isonicotinoyl radical, couples to NADH forming an isoniazid−NADH adduct that ...

Comparative Diagnostic Performance of Three Commercial Real‐Time PCR Assays for the Detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex in Bronchial Washing Specimens: A Large Retrospective Study

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
This large retrospective study compared the diagnostic performance of three commercial real‐time PCR assays (AdvanSure TB/NTM, Cobas MTB, and Xpert MTB/RIF) for MTBC detection in 3348 bronchial washing specimens. In a head‐to‐head comparison of 740 specimens, the Cobas MTB and Xpert MTB/RIF assays showed markedly higher sensitivity than the AdvanSure ...

Calpain Proteases and the Evolving Signaling Network in Insect Embryonic Patterning

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Insect embryonic Dorsal‐Ventral (DV) patterning relies on the BMP and Toll pathways to different extents. Calcium‐dependent cystein proteases of the Calpain family also exert an important function to pattern the DV axis. In Drosophila, Calpain A cleaves the Cactus/IkappaB inhibitor and modifies Toll signals in ventral regions of the embryo. In Rhodnius

[A case of isoniazid-resistant tuberculosis diagnosed during chemoprophylaxis with isoniazid].

open access: yesKekkaku : [Tuberculosis], 2001
A 15-year-old man, who was a classmate with the index case of a large outbreak of tuberculosis in a junior high school in Kochi city, showed strongly positive reaction to tuberculin skin test in March 1999. After taking a chest X-ray film, which showed no abnormal finding, chemoprophylaxis with isoniazid was started in April 1999. He was compliant with
