Optimisation of bioluminescent reporters for use with mycobacteria [PDF]
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, still represents a major public health threat in many countries. Bioluminescence, the production of light by luciferase-catalyzed reactions, is a versatile reporter technology with multiple

Assessment of the N-PCR assay in diagnosis of pleural tuberculosis: detection of M. tuberculosis in pleural fluid and sputum collected in tandem. [PDF]
The nonspecific clinical presentation and paucibacillary nature of tuberculous pleuritis remains a challenge for diagnosis. Diagnosis of tuberculous pleural effusion depends on the demonstration of the presence of tubercle bacilli in the sputum, pleural ...

Meningoencephalitis associated with non-tuberculous mycobacteria
Non-tuberculous mycobacteria are fastidious, difficult organisms to identify, but are increasingly associated with human disease. We report a case of meningoencephalitis associated withMycobacterium malmoenseandMycobacterium interjectumco-isolation from cerebrospinal fluid.

Current Progress in Differentiating Crohn's Disease From Intestinal Tuberculosis
Currently, there are various methods from different fields used to differentiate Crohn's disease from intestinal tuberculosis (ITB). Endoscopic findings are an important cornerstone. They can be used individually or in combination (models) to demonstrate excellent discriminative ability.

The Incidence of Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria in Infants in Kenya
There is inadequate understanding of the epidemiology of Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) among infants in high tuberculosis burden countries. The objective of this study was to document the incidence and diversity of NTM disease or colonisation in sputum specimens from infants with presumptive TB, the risk factors, and clinical characteristics, in a
