The bacterial two-component signal transduction systems regulate adaptation processes and are likely to play a role in Mycobacterium tuberculosis physiology and pathogenesis. The previous initial characterization of an M. tuberculosis response regulator from one of these systems, mtrA-mtrB, suggested its transcriptional activation during infection of phagocytic cells. In this work, we further c...
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a contagious agent that causes tuberculosis. A specific type (called the K cluster) of M. tuberculosis with 10 copies of IS6110 in restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) has been found in about 4% of M. tuberculosis isolates in Korea. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of M. tuberculosis Korean strain KIT87190 belonging to the K cluster.
Initiation of the adaptive immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis occurs in the lung-draining mediastinal lymph node and requires transport of M. tuberculosis by migratory dendritic cells (DCs) to the local lymph node. The previously published observations that 1) neutrophils are a transiently prominent population of M. tuberculosis-infected cells in the lungs early in infection and 2) t...
BACKGROUND Currently available tools cannot be used to distinguish between sub-species of the M. tuberculosis complex causing latent tuberculosis (TB) infection. M. africanum causes up to half of TB in West- Africa and its relatively lower progression to disease suggests the presence of a large reservoir of latent infection relative to M. tuberculosis. METHODS We assessed the immunogenicity o...
It appears interesting to write on Mycobacterium tuberculosis, primarily pathogen of human tuberculosis (TB) and M. bovis, primarily pathogen of cattle (BTB), other domestic animals and wild life in context of burden of these two closely related species in human and animals. The common notion in the mind of researchers has been their strong believe that M. tuberculosis does not infect cattle vi...
Although CD8(+) T cells help control Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, their M. tuberculosis Ag repertoire, in vivo frequency, and functionality in human tuberculosis (TB) remains largely undefined. We have performed genome-based bioinformatics searches to identify new M. tuberculosis epitopes presented by major HLA class I supertypes A2, A3, and B7 (covering 80% of the human population). A...
Single-particle laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, in the form of bioaerosol mass spectrometry (BAMS), was evaluated as a rapid detector for individual airborne, micron-sized, Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra particles, comprised of a single cell or a small number of clumped cells. The BAMS mass spectral signatures for aerosolized M. tuberculosis H37Ra particles were ...
Activation of the DNA-dependent cytosolic surveillance pathway in response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection stimulates ubiquitin-dependent autophagy and inflammatory cytokine production, and plays an important role in host defense against M. tuberculosis. However, the identity of the host sensor for M. tuberculosis DNA is unknown. Here we show that M. tuberculosis activated cyclic guanos...
BACKGROUND Central nervous system (CNS) tuberculosis is a serious, often fatal disease that disproportionately affects young children. It is thought to develop when Mycobacterium tuberculosis breaches the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which is composed of tightly apposed brain microvascular endothelial cells. However, the mechanism(s) involved in this process are poorly understood. METHODS To be...
The usefulness of random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis for typing Indian strains of M. tuberculosis was investigated. M. tuberculosis H37Rv, M. tuberculosis DT and 42 clinical isolates of M. tuberculosis were subjected to RAPD-PCR using 7 random decamer primers. All 7 primers were found to be differentiated and produced specific RAPD profiles. The polymorphic amplicons served...
