Label-free optical vibrational spectroscopy to detect the metabolic state of M. tuberculosis cells at the site of disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Tuberculosis relapse is a barrier to shorter treatment. It is thought that lipid rich cells, phenotypically resistant to antibiotics, may play a major role. Most studies investigating relapse use sputum samples although tissue bacteria may play an important role. We developed a non-destructive, label-free technique combining wavelength modulated Raman (

Construction of Reporter Phage T4::Nluc and Its Application in the Detection of Escherichia coli in Urinary Tract Infections

open access: yesiLABMED, EarlyView.
A reporter phage T4::Nluc was constructed using the CRISPR/Cas9 system combined with homologous recombination and was applied for the detection of clinical Escherichia coli in urinary tract infections (UTIs). T4::Nluc exhibited superior sensitivity and specificity, and had a short detection time, making it a powerful tool for diagnosing UTIs.

Being safe, feeling safe, and stigmatizing attitude among primary health care staff in providing multidrug-resistant tuberculosis care in Bantul District, Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia

open access: yesHuman Resources for Health, 2019
Introduction Patient-centered care approach in multidrug-resistant tuberculosis care requires health worker safety that covers both being safe and feeling safe to conduct the services. Stigma has been argued as a barrier to patient-centered care. However,

Epidemic modelling of bovine tuberculosis in cattle herds and badgers in Ireland [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Bovine tuberculosis, a disease that affects cattle and badgers in Ireland, was studied via stochastic epidemic modeling using incidence data from the Four Area Project (Griffin et al., 2005). The Four Area Project was a large scale field trial conducted in four diverse farming regions of Ireland over a five-year period (1997-2002) to evaluate the ...

Statistical Analysis Plan for the Drinkers' Intervention to Prevent Tuberculosis (DIPT Study) [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
The Drinkers' Intervention to Prevent TB (DIPT) is a randomized controlled trial designed to determine if incentive-based approaches can reduce alcohol use and improve medication adherence to isoniazid (INH) preventive therapy in persons with HIV (PWH) co-infected with tuberculosis (TB) who engage in heavy drinking in Uganda.

Anti‐Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Bacteriophage Loaded Electrospun Fibers for Antibacterial Wound Dressings

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Multidrug resistant Pseudomonas (P.) aeruginosa is detected in many infected wounds and is challenging to treat with antibiotics. As an alternative, this work incorporates anti‐P. aeruginosa Neko phages into electrospun fibres to explore their potential for treating infected wounds.

Detection of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains isolated in Brazil using a multimarker genetic assay for katG and rpoB genes

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2016
Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDRTB) is a serious world health problem that limits public actions to control tuberculosis, because the most used anti-tuberculosis first-line drugs fail to stop mycobacterium spread.

Issues of Tuberculosis Drug-Resistance in Kharkiv Region and in Ukraine

open access: yesInfusion & Chemotherapy, 2019
Background. Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis remain severe epidemic problems in the world. That’s why the purpose of our study was to investigate the dynamics of the incidence of multidrug-resistant and ...
