Effect of subinhibitory concentrations of ciprofloxacin on Mycobacterium fortuitum mutation rates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Objectives: Fluoroquinolones have found a place in the management of mycobacterial diseases including tuberculosis. It has been previously shown that subinhibitory concentrations of quinolones increase the mutation rate in Escherichia coli and ...

The Natural Product Corramycin Acts as a DNA Gyrase Poison and Overcomes Fluoroquinolone Resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Corramycin, a myxobacterial natural product antibiotic, exhibits potent bactericidal activity against multidrug‐resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The compound hijacks bacterial transporters such as BacA and OppABCD to enter the cell and inhibits DNA synthesis through a previously unrecognized mode of DNA gyrase poisoning, locking the enzyme in an ...

Limited Capability for Testing Mycobacterium tuberculosis for Susceptibility to New Drugs

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2021
We surveyed availability of phenotypic drug susceptibility testing for drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Europe. Of 27 laboratories, 17 tested for linezolid, 11 for clofazimine, 9 for bedaquiline, and 6 for delamanid during 2019.

Investigation of the high rates of extrapulmonary tuberculosis in Ethiopia reveals no single driving factor and minimal evidence for zoonotic transmission of Mycobacterium bovis infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Ethiopia, a high tuberculosis (TB) burden country, reports one of the highest incidence rates of extra-pulmonary TB dominated by cervical lymphadenitis (TBLN).

A Rare De Novo Missense Mutation in IFT122 Confers a Genetic Susceptibility Factor of Idiopathic Pediatric Uveitis Via Trio‐based Whole‐Exome Sequencing

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A rare de novo IFT122‐A773E variant is identified in idiopathic pediatric uveitis and shown to exacerbate retinal inflammation and barrier dysfunction. Mechanistically, the variant enhances IFT43 interaction, elevates calcium signaling, and activates the MEK/ERK/FRA1 axis, revealing a previously unrecognized cilia‐associated pathway that may increase ...

B Cells Regulate Neutrophilia during Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection and BCG Vaccination by Modulating the Interleukin-17 Response [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We have previously demonstrated that B cells can shape the immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, including the level of neutrophil infiltration and granulomatous inflammation at the site of infection. The present study examined the mechanisms by

A Microcapsule‐Integrated smRandom‐seq Platform Enables Fixation‐Free Single Microbe RNA Sequencing

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We developed a microcapsule‐integrated high‐throughput fixation‐free single‐microbe RNA‐seq workflow in which microbes are encapsulated in aqueous two‐phase microcapsules for physical confinement of nucleic acids. This platform enables co‐encapsulation with barcoded beads for sequencing and reveals that fixation‐free processing enhances transcriptomic ...

Identification of novel Imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine inhibitors targeting M. tuberculosis QcrB [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a major human pathogen and the causative agent for the pulmonary disease, tuberculosis (TB). Current treatment programs to combat TB are under threat due to the emergence of multi-drug and extensively-drug resistant TB ...

Upadacitinib Restrains the Pathogenic Fitness of CD4+ T Cells and Aberrant B Cell Programming in Optic Neuritis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Single‐cell profiling and functional perturbation reveal coordinated JAK1‐pSTAT3 downstream programs in optic neuritis, including MCL1‐dependent fitness of pathogenic CD4+ Tem cells and glycolysis‐linked, cholesterol‐sensitive B‐cell responses associated with RORA. Upadacitinib disrupts this reciprocal T‐B‐cell circuit and alleviates neuroinflammation,
