Evaluation of Sensitivity and Resistance of Linezolid in Pre Extensively Drug Resistance Tuberculosis and Extensively Drug Resistance Tuberculosis at a Tertiary Care Hospital, Jamnagar, Gujarat, India [PDF]
Introduction: The diseases have a high prevalence in India, accounting for one fourth of the Tuberculosis (TB) cases in the world. The situation becomes more complicated due to the rising of Human Immunodeficiency virus/AIDS pandemic, the emergence of ...

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder
BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.

Programmatically selected multidrug-resistant strains drive the emergence of extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis in South Africa [PDF]
South Africa shows one of the highest global burdens of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) tuberculosis (TB). Since 2002, MDR-TB in South Africa has been treated by a standardized combination therapy, which until 2010 included

How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

Treatment of tuberculosis in a region with high drug resistance: Outcomes, drug resistance amplification and re-infection [PDF]
Introduction: Emerging antituberculosis drug resistance is a serious threat for tuberculosis (TB) control, especially in Eastern European countries. Methods: We combined drug susceptibility results and molecular strain typing data with treatment outcome ...

Synechocystis strains deficient in succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) secrete more succinate than the WT under dark anaerobic conditions, supporting that SDH then primarily acts as SDH, not as a fumarate reductase. L‐aspartate oxidase (Laspo) from Synechocystis is functional under anaerobic conditions, reducing fumarate to succinate.

Characterisation and modulation of drug resistance in lung cancer cell lines [PDF]
Chemotherapy drug resistance is a major obstacle in the treatment of cancer. It can result from an increase in levels of cellular drug efflux pumps such as P-glycoprotein (P-gp).

Dolutegravir (DTG) use in combination with tenofovir and lamivudine (TLD) is scaling up in Africa. However, HIV drug resistance (HIVDR) data to DTG remain scarce in Zimbabwe. We assessed the prevalence and genetic mechanisms of DTG resistance in people living with HIV initiating on TLD.

The ubiquitin system in normal and infected germinal center B cells
The ubiquitin system plays a central role in germinal center (GC) B cells, influencing differentiation to long‐lived memory B cells. Oncogenic gammaherpesviruses gain access to memory B cells by establishing latency in GC B cells. Mapping ubiquitin mechanisms in normal and infected GC B cells will define specific molecular circuits in B cells germane ...
