Understanding Rifampicin Resistance in Tuberculosis through a Computational Approach [PDF]

Genomics & Informatics, 2014
The disease tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in developing countries. The evolution of drug-resistant tuberculosis causes a foremost threat to global health.

Genetic relatedness within the genus Campylobacter inferred from rpoB sequences [PDF]

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2006
The genus Campylobacter comprises 17 species, some of which are important animal and human pathogens. To gain more insight into the genetic relatedness of this genus and to improve the molecular tools available for diagnosis, a universal sequencing approach was established for the gene encoding the beta-subunit of RNA polymerase (rpoB) for the genus ...

Mutation of rpoB Shifts the Nutrient Threshold Triggering Myxococcus Multicellular Development [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The ability to perceive and respond to environmental change is essential to all organisms. In response to nutrient depletion, cells of the soil-dwelling δ-proteobacterium Myxococcus xanthus undergo collective morphogenesis into multicellular fruiting bodies and transform into stress-resistant spores.

Sequence and analysis of the rpoB gene of Mycobacterium smegmatis [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1995
The rpoB gene encodes the beta subunit of the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase of bacteria. Mutations in defined areas result in resistance to rifampin. Mycobacterium smegmatis is naturally resistant to rifampin, but analysis of the rpoB gene revealed no identifiable rifampin resistance mutations. Another mechanism of resistance may be present.
