Efficacy and safety of an innovative short-course regimen containing clofazimine for treatment of drug-susceptible tuberculosis: a clinical trial

open access: yesEmerging Microbes and Infections, 2023
In preclinical studies, a new antituberculosis drug regimen markedly reduced the time required to achieve relapse-free cure. This study aimed to preliminarily evaluate the efficacy and safety of this four-month regimen, consisting of clofazimine ...

Improved recovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from children using the microscopic observation drug susceptibility method.

open access: yes, 2006
OBJECTIVE: The diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis presents challenges in children, because symptoms are nonspecific, sputa are not accessible, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis cultures and smears often are negative.

Evaluation of a standardized treatment regimen of anti-tuberculosis drugs for patients with multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis (STREAM) : study protocol for a randomized controlled trial [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background In contrast to drug-sensitive tuberculosis, the guidelines for the treatment of multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) have a very poor evidence base; current recommendations, based on expert opinion, are that patients should be treated ...

Sarbecoviruses Suppress Innate Immunity by Recruiting PPM1A to Modulate STAT2 and ORF9b Phosphorylation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Sarbecovirus ORF9b recruits host phosphatase PPM1A to suppress innate immunity through dual mechanisms. PPM1A directly dephosphorylates ORF9b to sustain its activity and indirectly downregulates STAT2 phosphorylation to impair interferon signaling. Pharmacological inhibition of PPM1A restores antiviral responses and limits sarbecovirus replication ...

Prevalence of tuberculosis, HIV and respiratory symptoms in two Zambian communities: implications for tuberculosis control in the era of HIV. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
BACKGROUND: The Stop TB Partnership target for tuberculosis is to have reduced the prevalence of tuberculosis by 50% comparing 2015 to 1990. This target is challenging as few prevalence surveys have been conducted, especially in high burden tuberculosis ...

scH16S‐Seq Maps Klebsiella pneumoniae‐Associated Myeloid States and Reveals a CD38–NAD Immunometabolic Axis That Impairs Lysosomal Acidification in Sepsis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Single‐cell host–bacterial 16S co‐sequencing (scH16S‐seq) integrates cell‐associated bacterial 16S‐derived signals with host transcriptomes to resolve bacterial signal‐enriched myeloid states in Klebsiella pneumoniae sepsis. Complementary pharmacological and genetic analyses define a CD38–NAD immunometabolic axis connecting mitochondrial bioenergetic ...

Current landscape of exosomes in tuberculosis development, diagnosis, and treatment applications

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology
Tuberculosis (TB), caused by the bacterial pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), remains one of the most prevalent and deadly infectious diseases worldwide. Currently, there are complex interactions between host cells and pathogens in TB. The onset,

The Interplay Between Molybdopterin Synthase and Metal Metabolism Contributes to Pathogenicity in Acinetobacter baumannii

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Pathogenic Acinetobacter baumannii scavenges metal ions as nutritional elements to survive within the host. This study demonstrates that molybdopterin synthase is essential for pathogenesis and full virulence during infection. Molybdopterin synthase subunit MoaE constitutes an intrinsically disordered C‐terminal histidine rich tail, which mediates ...

Associated factors for treatment delay in pulmonary tuberculosis in HIV-infected individuals: a nested case-control study. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
BACKGROUND: The delay in initiating treatment for tuberculosis (TB) in HIV-infected individuals may lead to the development of a more severe form of the disease, with higher rates of morbidity, mortality and transmissibility. The aim of the present study
