The New Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra: Improving Detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Resistance to Rifampin in an Assay Suitable for Point-of-Care Testing

mBio, 2017
The Xpert MTB/RIF assay (Xpert) is a rapid test for tuberculosis (TB) and rifampin resistance (RIF-R) suitable for point-of-care testing. However, it has decreased sensitivity in smear-negative sputum, and false identification of RIF-R occasionally ...

Microevolution ofMycobacterium tuberculosisin a Tuberculosis Patient [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2010
ABSTRACTFiveMycobacterium tuberculosisisolates were obtained from three body sites from a Dutch patient. The isolates displayed a single genotype by 24-locus MIRU-VNTR typing (except for a single locus not amplified from one isolate) but were differentiated by small variations in IS6110fingerprints, spoligotypes, 6 hypervariable MIRU-VNTR loci, and/or ...

ACCase 6 is the essential acetyl-CoA carboxylase involved in fatty acid and mycolic acid biosynthesis in mycobacteria [PDF]

, 2009
Mycolic acids are essential for the survival, virulence and antibiotic resistance of the human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Inhibitors of mycolic acid biosynthesis, such as isoniazid and ethionamide, have been used as efficient drugs for the ...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is less likely to acquire pathogenic mutations during latent infection than during active disease

Microbiology Spectrum
Most people infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) are believed to be in a state of latent tuberculosis (TB) infection (LTBI). Although LTBI is asymptomatic and not infectious, there is a risk of developing active disease even decades after ...

DNA repair systems and the pathogenesis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis: varying activities at different stages of infection [PDF]

, 2010
Mycobacteria, including most of all MTB (Mycobacterium tuberculosis), cause pathogenic infections in humans and, during the infectious process, are exposed to a range of environmental insults, including the host's immune response.
