Does Polymerase Chain Reaction of Tissue Specimens Aid in the Diagnosis of Tuberculosis? [PDF]

Journal of Pathology and Translational Medicine, 2016
Background Mycobacterial culture is the gold standard test for diagnosing tuberculosis (TB), but it is time-consuming. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a highly sensitive and specific method that can reduce the time required for diagnosis.

Identification and monitoring of Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth in liquid culture by Antigen 85 detection

Journal of Associated Medical Sciences, 2022
Background: Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the most common causative agent of tuberculosis. It releases secretory proteins, especially the Ag85 complex, from actively growing mycobacteria, which can be detected in mycobacterial liquid culture.

Rapid construction of mycobacterial mutagenesis vectors using ligation-independent cloning [PDF]

, 2010
Targeted mutagenesis is one of the major tools for determining the function of a given gene and its involvement in bacterial pathogenesis. In mycobacteria, gene deletion is often accomplished by using allelic exchange techniques that commonly utilise a ...

Intracellular Delivery of Hydrophilic Glycans Using Superchaotropic Clusters

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Superchaotropic boron clusters are demonstrated to deliver hydrophilic glycans directly into mammalian cells, removing the need for acetylation and cytotoxic solvents such as DMSO. Azido glycans for metabolic oligosaccharide engineering, and trehalose, were delivered and the successful azido‐labelling of glycoproteins, cell surface glycans, and ...

Sputum smear and Gene-Xpert negative pulmonary tuberculosis; a diagnostic dilemma in primary tuberculosis

PAMJ Clinical Medicine, 2020
We discuss a case of a 60-year-old man with no known comorbidities who presented with sudden onset severe haemoptysis and chest pain. Sputum and pleural fluid smears for acid fast bacillus and Gene-Xpert were repeatedly negative.

A myco-management problem: improving utilization of fungal and mycobacterial smear and culture

Journal of Clinical Microbiology
Fungal and mycobacterial smear and culture are often inappropriately ordered, straining clinical laboratory resources and risking patient harm from false-positive results.

Optimisation of bioluminescent reporters for use with mycobacteria [PDF]

, 2010
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, still represents a major public health threat in many countries. Bioluminescence, the production of light by luciferase-catalyzed reactions, is a versatile reporter technology with multiple
