Non-tuberculous mycobacteria infection presenting as a hepatic allograft abscess

IDCases, 2023
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are mycobacterial species other than Mycobacterium tuberculous and Mycobacterium leprae [1]. They are environmental organisms which have been implicated in a wide array of clinical syndromes. Here we describe a case of a

Insights on Mycobacterium leprae Efflux Pumps and Their Implications in Drug Resistance and Virulence

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 ...

Mycobacterium leprae [PDF]

, 2006
Although Mycobacterium leprae was one of the first bacterial pathogens of humans to be described (Hansen, 1874), progress on understanding the basic biology and pathogenicity of this organism has been greatly hampered by the inability to find a conventional laboratory medium or tissue culture system that can support its growth.

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.

Using Synthetic Glycans to Investigate Anti‐Glycan Antibodies and Explore Their Medical Potential

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Anti‐glycan antibodies are essential in health and disease. Access to novel glycan structures paves the way for progress in antibody profiling for biomarker discovery, antibody development, and vaccine design. We summarize the strategies to synthesize and utilize synthetic glycans for the development and application of anti‐glycan antibodies in basic ...

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

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 9, Page 1610-1627, September 2026.
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 ...
