Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Trends in Microbiology, 2018
In this infographic, the genetics, phylogeny, physiology, and pathogenesis mechanisms of Mycobacterium tuberculosis are shown. Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the etiological agent of tuberculosis (TB), the leading cause of death due to a single infectious agent, claiming 1.7 million lives in 2016.

The GroES antigens of Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium paratuberculosis

Veterinary Microbiology, 1999
The GroES antigen provokes a strong immune response in human beings with tuberculosis or leprosy. We cloned and sequenced the Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium paratuberculosis GroES genes. M. avium and M. paratuberculosis have identical GroES sequences which differ from other mycobacterial species. This supports the current formal designation of M.

Monoglycosyldiacylphenol-phthiocerol of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium bovis

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Lipids and Lipid Metabolism, 1988
The structure of a minor glycolipid of M. tuberculosis (strain Canetti) is shown to be 2-O-methyl-alpha-L-rhamnosyldiacylphenol-phthiocerol. A similar compound with non-methylated rhamnose as sugar moiety was also detected. In the course of this work, the structure of mycoside B from Mycobacterium bovis was reexamined, and was shown to be identical to ...

Mycobacterium marinum: the generalization and specialization of a pathogenic mycobacterium

Microbes and Infection, 2004
Mycobacterium marinum is being used increasingly as a model for understanding pathogenic mycobacteria. However, recently discovered differences between M. marinum and M. tuberculosis suggest that adaptation to specialized niches is reflected in unique strategies of pathogenesis. This review emphasizes the areas in which studying M.

Pleiomorphism in Mycobacterium

2012
Morphological variants in mycobacterial cultures under different growth conditions, including aging of the culture, have been shown to include fibrous aggregates, biofilms, coccoids, and spores. Here we discuss the diversity in shape and size changes demonstrated by bacterial cells with special reference to pleiomorphism observed in Mycobacterium spp ...

Mycobacterium chelonei

Tubercle, 1981
Mycobacterium chelonei is the more important of the two rapidly growing pathogenic mycobacteria; the other being M. fortuitum with which the former has frequently been confused. There are two major variants: M. chelonei chelonei, found mainly in Europe and M. chelonei abscessus, the predominant type in Africa and America.

[Identification of Mycobacterium and Mycobacterium tuberculosis].

Problemy tuberkuleza, 1991
The identification results of 3530 Mycobacterium strains isolated from a clinical material from tuberculosis patients are presented. 3219 (91.17%) of the strains are classified AS M. tuberculosis and 331 (8.83%) as nontuberculous, containing, generally, M. fortuitum group. (96 or 2.71% of the cases).
