Genetic Diversity of PCR-Positive, Culture-Negative and Culture-Positive Mycobacterium ulcerans Isolated from Buruli Ulcer Patients in Ghana. [PDF]

, 2014
Culture of Mycobacterium ulcerans from Buruli ulcer patients has very low sensitivity. Thus confirmation of M. ulcerans infection is primarily based on PCR directed against IS2404.

Anti-Mycobacterial Drug Resistance in Japan: How to Approach This Problem?

Antibiotics, 2021
Mycobacteriosis is mainly caused by two groups of species: Mycobacterium tuberculosis and non-tuberculosis mycobacteria (NTM). The pathogens cause not only respiratory infections, but also general diseases.

Cholesterol-dependent transcriptome remodeling reveals new insight into the contribution of cholesterol to Mycobacterium tuberculosis pathogenesis

Scientific Reports, 2021
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is an obligate human pathogen that can adapt to the various nutrients available during its life cycle. However, in the nutritionally stringent environment of the macrophage phagolysosome, Mtb relies mainly on cholesterol.

Cobalamin is present in cells of non-tuberculous mycobacteria, but not in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Scientific Reports, 2021
Cobalamin (vitamin B12) is a structurally complex molecule that acts as a cofactor for enzymes and regulates gene expression through so-called riboswitches.

Functional Disassociation Between the Protein Domains of MSMEG_4305 of Mycolicibacterium smegmatis (Mycobacterium smegmatis) in vivo

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
MSMEG_4305 is a two-domain protein of Mycolicibacterium smegmatis (Mycobacterium smegmatis) (Mycolicibacterium smegmatis). The N-terminal domain of MSMEG_4305 encodes an RNase H type I.

Polymorphism in the EREG gene confers susceptibility to tuberculosis

BMC Medical Genetics, 2019
Background Host genetic factors affect the immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection as well as the progression of the disease. Epiregulin (EREG) belongs to the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family, which binds to the epidermal growth
