Genomic Profiling of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Strains, Myanmar

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2021
Multidrug resistance is a major threat to global elimination of tuberculosis (TB). We performed phenotypic drug-susceptibility testing and whole-genome sequencing for 309 isolates from 342 consecutive patients who were given a diagnosis of TB in Yangon ...

A highly conserved transcriptional repressor controls a large regulon involved in lipid degradation in Mycobacterium smegmatis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. [PDF]

, 2007
The Mycobacterium tuberculosis TetR-type regulator Rv3574 has been implicated in pathogenesis as it is induced in vivo, and genome-wide essentiality studies show it is required for infection.

Pyrolysis Mass Spectrometry: A New Method to Differentiate Between the Mycobacteria of the "Tuberculosis Complex" and Other Mycobacteria [PDF]

Microbiology, 1981
Pyrolysis mass spectrometry (p.m.s.) was applied to differentiate 91 coded mycobacteria as belonging to either the 'tuberculosis complex' (M. tuberculosis, M. bovis and M. bovis BCG) or to other species of Mycobacterium. Strains were analysed in batches; in each batch three strains each of M. tuberculosis, M. bovis and M.

Sensitive detection of gene expression in mycobacteria under replicating and non-replicating conditions using optimized far-red reporters. [PDF]

, 2010
Fluorescent reporter proteins have proven useful for imaging techniques in many organisms. We constructed optimized expression systems for several fluorescent proteins from the far-red region of the spectrum and analyzed their utility in several ...

Molecular analysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA from a family of 18th century Hungarians [PDF]

, 2003
The naturally mummified remains of a mother and two daughters found in an 18th century Hungarian crypt were analysed, using multiple molecular genetic techniques to examine the epidemiology and evolution of tuberculosis.

Management of infection with nontuberculosis mycobacteria [PDF]

, 2004
The nontuberculosis mycobacteria are often naturally resistant to the conventional antibiotics and to antituberculosis drugs (1–3). In addition, providing advice for the treatment of nontuberculosis is complicated by the variable and changing ...
