Survival mechanisms of pathogenic Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis H(37)Rv is a highly successful pathogen and its success fully relies on its ability to utilize macrophages for its replication and, more importantly, the macrophage should remain viable to host the Mycobacterium. Despite the fact that these phagocytes are usually very effective in internalizing and clearing most of the bacteria, M. tuberculosis H(37)Rv has evolved a n...
متن کاملExpression of Mycobacterium smegmatis pyrazinamidase in Mycobacterium tuberculosis confers hypersensitivity to pyrazinamide and related amides.
A pyrazinamidase (PZase)-deficient pncA mutant of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, constructed by allelic exchange, was used to investigate the effects of heterologous amidase gene expression on the susceptibility of this organism to pyrazinamide (PZA) and related amides. The mutant was highly resistant to PZA (MIC, >2,000 microg/ml), in accordance with the well-established role of pncA in the PZA s...
متن کاملComparative Phylogenomics of Pathogenic and Non-Pathogenic Mycobacterium
Mycobacterium species are the source of a variety of infectious diseases in a range of hosts. Genome based methods are used to understand the adaptation of each pathogenic species to its unique niche. In this work, we report the comparison of pathogenic and non-pathogenic Mycobacterium genomes. Phylogenetic trees were constructed using sequence of core orthologs, gene content and gene order. It...
متن کاملGrowth of Pathogenic Leptospirae by Replacing Rabbit Serum with Mycobacterium Phlei or Mycobacterium Smegmatis.
This strain appeared to consist of a mixture of two variants: 4 of 20 subcultures from single colonies were coagulase-negative; the remaining 16 were coagulase-positive. The two variants differed also in respect to toxin production. The hemolytic zones produced on 5% rabbit blood agar by the coagulasenegative variant were smaller than the zones produced by the coagulase-positive one. This prope...
متن کاملTakayasu’s Arteritis and Its Potential Pathogenic Association with Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Takayasu’s arteritis is an idiopathic, inflammatory disease which involves largeand medium-sized arteries, specially the aorta, its major branches and the pulmonary arteries. In contrast to other vasculitides, Takayasu’s arteritis is restricted to certain geographical areas. Initially thought to be confined to Japan and Korea, it has now been reported with increased frequency in Mexico, India, ...
