Label-free optical vibrational spectroscopy to detect the metabolic state of M. tuberculosis cells at the site of disease [PDF]
, 2017 Tuberculosis relapse is a barrier to shorter treatment. It is thought that lipid rich cells, phenotypically resistant to antibiotics, may play a major role. Most studies investigating relapse use sputum samples although tissue bacteria may play an important role. We developed a non-destructive, label-free technique combining wavelength modulated Raman (

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2025.ABSTRACT Background and Aims Pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infection and bronchiectasis are two distinct respiratory conditions, but bronchiectasis and pulmonary NTM infections are closely associated. NTM can cause bronchiectasis.

Recent advances in nontuberculous mycobacterial lung infections [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]
F1000Research, 2019 Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are members of the Mycobacterium genus other than Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and Mycobacterium leprae. NTM are widely distributed in the environment and are increasingly recognized as causes of chronic lung ...

Neuroimmune Pain and Its Manipulation by Pathogens
Evolutionary Applications, Volume 18, Issue 4, April 2025.ABSTRACT Recent studies highlight extensive crosstalk that exists between sensory neurons responsible for pain and the immune system. Cutaneous pain neurons detect harmful microbes, recruit immune cells, and produce anticipatory immunity in nearby tissues. These complementary systems generally protect hosts from infections.

On the ability to reconstruct ancestral genomes from Mycobacterium genus [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Technical signs of progress during the last decades has led to a situation in which the accumulation of genome sequence data is increasingly fast and cheap. The huge amount of molecular data available nowadays can help addressing new and essential questions in Evolution.

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.

L‐PRF in extra‐oral wound care
Periodontology 2000, Volume 97, Issue 1, Page 342-362, February 2025.Abstract Leukocyte‐ and platelet‐rich fibrin (L‐PRF), a by‐product of centrifuged autologous whole blood, contains high concentrations of platelets, leukocytes, and fibrin (the latter spontaneously creating a strong 3‐D network (a membrane)). L‐PRF membranes possess several characteristics essential in wound healing, including a barrier function, an ...

Adjuvant Activity of Mycobacterium leprae [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1972 Mycobacterium leprae organisms isolated from infected spleen and liver tissue by zonal centrifugation were shown to possess adjuvant activity. Histochemical examination of the footpad macrophage epithelioid granuloma showed that macrophages contained large amounts of hemosiderin after the injection of M. leprae

Mycobacterial genomics and structural bioinformatics: opportunities and challenges in drug discovery
Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2019 Of the more than 190 distinct species of Mycobacterium genus, many are economically and clinically important pathogens of humans or animals. Among those mycobacteria that infect humans, three species namely Mycobacterium tuberculosis (causative agent of ...

A lipopeptide facilitate induction of Mycobacterium leprae killing in host cells. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2011 Little is known of the direct microbicidal activity of T cells in leprosy, so a lipopeptide consisting of the N-terminal 13 amino acids lipopeptide (LipoK) of a 33-kD lipoprotein of Mycobacterium leprae, was synthesized. LipoK activated M.
