Hemophagocytic syndrome associated with Mycobacterium bovis in a patient with X-SCID: a case report

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2020
Background Mycobacterium bovis could infect patients with immunodeficiency or immunosuppressive conditions via Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination. Tuberculosis-related hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS) is reported, but not HPS caused by Mycobacterium

Comparative 'omics analyses differentiate Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium bovis and reveal distinct macrophage responses to infection with the human and bovine tubercle bacilli

bioRxiv, 2017
Members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) are the causative agents of tuberculosis in a range of mammals, including humans. A key feature of MTBC pathogens is their high degree of genetic identity, yet distinct host tropism. Notably, while

Organ‐on‐Chip: The Future of Nutrition Research in a One Health World

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
Organ‐on‐chips offer a promising tool for evaluating food and feed safety. Organ‐on‐chips also present a scientifically robust and ethical alternative to animal studies. ABSTRACT The One Health approach emphasizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health, recognizing that the health of each is interdependent and influenced by ...

Impact of temperature and soil type on Mycobacterium bovis survival in the environment

PLoS ONE, 2017
Mycobacterium bovis, the causative agent of the bovine tuberculosis (bTB), mainly affects cattle, its natural reservoir, but also a wide range of domestic and wild mammals.

Rapid and Visual Detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex Based on Multiplex Recombinase Polymerase Amplification

iLABMED, EarlyView.
We developed an on‐site detection platform for rapid detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) based on the IS1081 gene. The platform utilizes real‐time multiplex recombinase polymerase amplification (mRPA) to achieve a reaction time of less than 30 min.

Proteome Analysis of Corynebacterium diphtheriae–Macrophage Interaction

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Contact of Corynebacterium diphtheriae with macrophages induces adaptations on both bacterial and cellular sides. The study presented here was aiming to shed light on the simultaneous intracellular adaptation of the bacteria and changes in the proteome of the phagocytes in response to the internalization of C. diphtheriae.

Mycotic aortic aneurysm due to intravesical BCG immunotherapy: Clinical manifestations and diagnostic challenges

International Journal of Mycobacteriology, 2014
A live, attenuated form of Mycobacterium bovis, bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG), is commonly used as intravesical immunotherapy for non-invasive urothelial bladder carcinoma. While complications are rare, dissemination can occur.

Low Prevalence of Mycobacterium bovis in Tuberculosis Patients, Ethiopia

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020
An estimated 17% of all tuberculosis cases in Ethiopia are caused by Mycobacterium bovis. We used M. tuberculosis complex isolates to identify the prevalence of M. bovis as the cause of pulmonary tuberculosis. Our findings indicate that the proportion of

Structural Properties of an S-system Model of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Gene Regulation [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Magombedze and Mulder in 2013 studied the gene regulatory system of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (Mtb) by partitioning this into three subsystems based on putative gene function and role in dormancy/latency development. Each subsystem, in the form of S-system, is represented by an embedded chemical reaction network (CRN), defined by a species subset and ...

The Transparency of Galaxy Clusters [PDF]

Astrophys.J. 688 (2008) 198-207, 2008
If galaxy clusters contain intracluster dust, the spectra of galaxies lying behind clusters should show attenuation by dust absorption. We compare the optical (3500 - 7200 \AA) spectra of 60,267 luminous, early-type galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to search for the signatures of intracluster dust in z ~ 0.05 clusters.
