Mycolicibacterium smegmatis, Basonym Mycobacterium smegmatis, Expresses Morphological Phenotypes Much More Similar to Escherichia coli Than Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Quantitative Structome Analysis and CryoTEM Examination

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
A series of structome analyses, that is, quantitative and three-dimensional structural analysis of a whole cell at the electron microscopic level, have already been achieved individually in Exophiala dermatitidis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Mycobacterium ...

Colorimetric phage-based assay for detection of rifampin-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis [PDF]

, 2007
Tests based on bacteriophage replication enable rapid screening of Mycobacterium tuberculosis for drug resistance. We describe a novel broth-based colorimetric method for detecting phage replication.

Polymorphism in the EREG gene confers susceptibility to tuberculosis

BMC Medical Genetics, 2019
Background Host genetic factors affect the immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection as well as the progression of the disease. Epiregulin (EREG) belongs to the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family, which binds to the epidermal growth

Lack of immune responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis DosR regulon proteins following Mycobacterium bovis BCG vaccination. [PDF]

, 2007
Mycobacterium bovis BCG is widely used as a vaccine against tuberculosis (TB), despite its variable protective efficacy. Relatively little is known about the immune response profiles following BCG vaccination in relation to protection against TB. Here we

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.

A solitary pulmonary nodule caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis var. BCG after intravesical BCG treatment: a case report

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2021
Background Intravesical instillation of bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) as a treatment for superficial bladder cancer rarely causes pulmonary complications. While published cases have been pathologically characterized by multiple granulomatous lesions due

Trends in the incidence of Rifampicin resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in northeastern Nigeria

Scientific African, 2022
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a respiratory bacterial pathogen that causes Tuberculosis. About one-quarter of the global population is infected, most of which are asymptomatic with a 5–15% risk of developing active disease across their lifespan.
