B Cells Regulate Neutrophilia during Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection and BCG Vaccination by Modulating the Interleukin-17 Response [PDF]

, 2013
We have previously demonstrated that B cells can shape the immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, including the level of neutrophil infiltration and granulomatous inflammation at the site of infection. The present study examined the mechanisms by

In vitro effects of the new oral β-lactamase inhibitor xeruborbactam in combination with oral β-lactams against clinical Mycobacterium abscessus isolates

Microbiology Spectrum
Non-tuberculosis mycobacteria (NTM), particularly Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. abscessus (M. abscessus), are increasingly being recognized as etiological agents of NTM pulmonary disease. However, treatment options for M.

Accurate Detection of Rifampicin-Resistant Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Strains

Sensors, 2016
In 2013 alone, the death rate among the 9.0 million people infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) worldwide was around 14%, which is unacceptably high. An empiric treatment of patients infected with TB or drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (

Screening vaccine formulations for biological activity using fresh human whole blood. [PDF]

, 2014
Understanding the relevant biological activity of any pharmaceutical formulation destined for human use is crucial. For vaccine-based formulations, activity must reflect the expected immune response, while for non-vaccine therapeutic agents, such as ...

The transcriptome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a lipid-rich dormancy model through RNAseq analysis [PDF]

, 2017
Tuberculosis (TB) is currently the number one killer among infectious diseases worldwide. Lipids are abundant molecules during the infectious cycle of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and studies better mimicking its actual metabolic state during ...

Pervasive Translation in Mycobacterium tuberculosis [PDF]

eLife, 2019
ABSTRACTMost bacterial ORFs are identified by automated prediction algorithms. However, these algorithms often fail to identify ORFs lacking canonical features such as a length of >50 codons or the presence of an upstream Shine-Dalgarno sequence.

Assessing the accuracy of the updated Fujifilm SILVAMP TB LAM II assay between lot numbers

IJTLD Open
BACKGROUND: The Fujifilm SILVAMP TB LAM (FujiLAM) assay, a point-of-care test detecting urine-based lipoarabinomannans, has demonstrated notable diagnostic accuracy for TB. However, FujiLAM exhibits lot-to-lot variability, limiting its clinical use.
