The multiple roles of the NlpC_P60 peptidase family in mycobacteria – an underexplored target for antimicrobial drug discovery

FEBS Letters, Volume 599, Issue 9, Page 1203-1221, May 2025.
The NlpC_P60 superfamily of peptidases is recognised by its key role in bacterial cell wall homeostasis. Recently, studies have also described the involvement of NlpC_P60‐like enzymes in bacterial competitive mechanisms and pathogenesis across several lineages.

A highly conserved transcriptional repressor controls a large regulon involved in lipid degradation in Mycobacterium smegmatis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. [PDF]

, 2007
The Mycobacterium tuberculosis TetR-type regulator Rv3574 has been implicated in pathogenesis as it is induced in vivo, and genome-wide essentiality studies show it is required for infection.

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 ...

Combating Multi-drug Resistant Mycobacterium Species by Efflux Pump Inhibitors: Contemporary Trends

BIO Integration
Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) complex (MTBC), which includes M.tb as one of the causative bacteria. In contrast, non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) refers to Mycobacterium spp. that do not cause TB or leprosy (MTBC spp.,

Bullous Type 2 Lepra Reaction: A Rare and Significant Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Bullous type 2 lepra reactions are a rare initial presentation in leprosy that can complicate the disease with vesiculo‐bullous lesions. Early recognition and differentiation from other bullous disorders are critical for timely corticosteroid and multidrug therapy initiation to improve patient outcomes.

Identification ofMycobacterium lepraeandMycobacterium lepromatosisin Formalin-Fixed and Paraffin-Embedded Skin Samples from Mexico

Annals of Dermatology, 2018
The causative agents of leprosy are the well-known Mycobacterium leprae and the newly discovered Mycobacterium lepromatosis. This agent was found in 2008, and it was found to be the cause of diffuse lepromatous leprosy in two Mexican patients.The objective of this work was to determine if M. leprae and M. lepromatosis were present in formalin-fixed and
