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.

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 (

PolyTB: a genomic variation map for Mycobacterium tuberculosis [PDF]

, 2014
Tuberculosis (TB) caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is the second major cause of death from an infectious disease worldwide. Recent advances in DNA sequencing are leading to the ability to generate whole genome information in clinical isolates ...

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 ...

Structures of mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase reveal carrier‐domain translocation between catalytic sites

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase uses a mobile biotin‐carrying domain to shuttle a carboxyl group between two catalytic sites, enabling carboxylation of 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA during leucine breakdown. Cryo‐electron microscopy captures the carrier at both sites and reveals an inward loop movement that may prevent futile rebinding to 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 ...

Predictive and prognostic biomarkers of Bacillus Calmette‐Guérin therapy failure in bladder cancer patients: A systematic review

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
High‐risk bladder cancer is typically treated with Bacillus Calmette‐Guérin (BCG), but 30–40% of patients relapse. No FDA‐ or CE‐approved biomarkers currently predict or prognosticate BCG failure. We systematically reviewed the literature and identified 72 eligible studies, revealing several promising biomarkers associated with BCG treatment response ...
