Using Capsule Neural Network to predict Tuberculosis in lens-free microscopic images [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Tuberculosis, caused by a bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is one of the most serious public health problems worldwide. This work seeks to facilitate and automate the prediction of tuberculosis by the MODS method and using lens-free microscopy, which is easy to use by untrained personnel.

Analysis of DevR regulated genes in Mycobacterium tuberculosis [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 The DevRS two component system of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is responsible for its dormancy in host and becomes operative under hypoxic condition. It is experimentally known that phosphorylated DevR controls the expression of several downstream genes in a complex manner.

Preparation and Biological Properties of Ring-Substituted Naphthalene-1-Carboxanilides
Molecules, 2014 In this study, a series of twenty-two ring-substituted naphthalene-1-carboxanilides were prepared and characterized. Primary in vitro screening of the synthesized carboxanilides was performed against Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis.

Elusive preferred hosts or nucleic acid level selection? A commentary on: Evolutionary interpretations of mycobacteriophage biodiversity and host-range through the analysis of codon usage bias (Esposito et al. 2016) [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 While confirming the long held view that viruses do not closely imitate the use of their host's codon catalogue, Esposito and coworkers nevertheless consider it surprising that, despite having the ability to infect the same host, many mycobacteriophages share little or no genetic similarity (i.e.

Comparison among the Quantification of Bacterial Pathogens by qPCR, dPCR, and Cultural Methods
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 The demand for rapid methods for the quantification of pathogens is increasing. Among these methods, those based on nucleic acids amplification (quantitative PCRs) are the most widespread worldwide.

Proposing a two-step Decision Support System (TPIS) based on Stacked ensemble classifier for early and low cost (step-1) and final (step-2) differential diagnosis of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis from non-tuberculosis Pneumonia [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Background: Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious bacterial disease presenting similar symptoms to pneumonia; therefore, differentiating between TB and pneumonia is challenging. Therefore, the main aim of this study is proposing an automatic method for differential diagnosis of TB from Pneumonia.
