Metabolism of Mycobacterium leprae in macrophages [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1987 The incorporation of 14C-labeled palmitic acid ( [U-14C]PA) into the phenolic glycolipid-I (PGL-I) fraction of Mycobacterium leprae was studied in a murine macrophage system in vitro. Peritoneal macrophages from Swiss Webster mice were infected with fresh viable or Formalin-killed M.

Fitting birth-death processes to panel data with applications to bacterial DNA fingerprinting [PDF]
Annals of Applied Statistics 2013, Vol. 7, No. 4, 2315-2335, 2010 Continuous-time linear birth-death-immigration (BDI) processes are frequently used in ecology and epidemiology to model stochastic dynamics of the population of interest. In clinical settings, multiple birth-death processes can describe disease trajectories of individual patients, allowing for estimation of the effects of individual covariates on the ...

A Study of Qualitative Correlations Between Crucial Bio-markers and the Optimal Drug Regimen of Type-I Lepra Reaction: A Deterministic Approach [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Mycobacterium leprae is a bacteria that causes the disease Leprosy (Hansen's disease), which is a neglected tropical disease. More than 200000 cases are being reported per year world wide. This disease leads to a chronic stage known as Lepra reaction that majorly causes nerve damage of peripheral nervous system leading to loss of organs.

Peptidoglycan and Arabinogalactan of Mycobacterium Leprae [PDF]
Microbiology, 1987 The arabinogalactan and peptidoglycan of armadillo-grown Mycobacterium leprae were examined. Within the limits defined by the small amount of material available, the resemblance of these polymers to those of other mycobacteria was confirmed. The polymers were linked by a highly acid-labile bond and the arabinogalactan was itself acid-labile; free ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Drug resistance in Mycobacterium leprae is assumed to be due to genetic alterations in the drug targets and reduced cell wall permeability. However, as observed in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, drug resistance may also result from the overactivity of ...

A Comprehensive and Detailed Within-Host Modeling Study involving crucial Bio markers and Optimal Drug regimen for Lepra Type-I Reaction : A Deterministic Approach [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Leprosy (Hansen's disease) is an infectious, neglected tropical disease caused by the Mycobacterium Leprae (M. Leprae). Each year there are approximately 2,02,189 new cases are detected globally. In the year 2017 more than half million people were disabled due to leprosy and almost 50000 new cases are added every year world wide.
