The Mycobacterium tuberculosis Rv0132c Gene Product Mtb‐FGD2 Can Act as an F420‐Dependent Glucose Dehydrogenase

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The role of the cell envelope‐associated Rv0132c/FGD2 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis has long been a subject of debate. Importantly, FGD2 is found only in pathogenic mycobacteria, making it a potential drug target. While some suggest it functions as a glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase, others propose it acts instead as an F420‐dependent ...

Bovine tuberculosis history as a risk factor for recurrence in English cattle herds experiencing a breakdown

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bovine tuberculosis (TB) threatens cattle farming in England. Supplementing tuberculin skin testing with the interferon‐gamma blood test during TB incident (breakdown) management can enhance diagnostic sensitivity. We aimed to identify herds at greater risk of recurrence depending on their recent TB history to inform targeted ...
