The evidence for direct charged particles (CP) violation in the decay B0→K+ π- was investigated with 253 fb-1 of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e + e- collider. 275 x 106 BB̄ pairs were used to observe a B→K±π∓ signal with 2140 ±53 even ...
The expression and activation of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) was investigated in leprosy, a spectral disease in which clinical manifestations correlate with the type of immune response mounted toward Mycobacterium leprae. TLR2-TLR1 heterodimers mediated cel ...
Bacterial genomics revealed the widespread presence of eukaryotic-like protein kinases and phosphatases in prokaryotes, but little is known on their biochemical properties, regulation mechanisms and physiological roles. Here we focus on the catalytic domai ...
The live tuberculosis vaccines Mycobacterium bovis BCG (bacille Calmette-Guérin) and Mycobacterium microti both lack the potent, secreted T-cell antigens ESAT-6 (6-kDa early secretory antigenic target) and CFP-10 (10-kDa culture filtrate protein). This is ...
The CP asymmetry in the B → Xsγ, where hadronic recoil system Xs is reconstructed, was investigated using pseudoreconstruction technique. Negligible contamination from b → dγ decays was observed, which were expected to have larger CP asymmetry. The qq̄ and ...
By use of a murine model for Buruli ulcer, Mycobacterium ulcerans was found to be susceptible to rifampin, with the MIC being 0.5 to 1 micro g/ml. Three mutants were isolated after rifampin monotherapy. Two were resistant to rifampin at 8 micro g/ml, and o ...
The measurements of time-dependent decay rates for B 0(B̄0) → D(*)∓π ∓ decays and extraction of CP violation parameters containing φ3 were discussed. It was found that a 140 fb-1 data sample, which contained 152 × 106 BB̄ events, was used in the measuremen ...
Mycobacterium bovis is the causative agent of tuberculosis in a range of animal species and man, with worldwide annual losses to agriculture of $3 billion. The human burden of tuberculosis caused by the bovine tubercle bacillus is still largely unknown. M. ...
LC-MSn analysis of mycolactone toxin from extracts of Mycobacterium ulcerans has shown that minor co-metabolites, including two previously unreported, differ structurally from mycolactone only in a small portion of the polyketide side-chain. ...
The CP violation parameters in Bo → π +π- decay were investigated. The flavor of the accompanying B meson was identified by reconstructing B o→π+π- CP eigenstate. It was observed that the expected sensitivity was optimized using the ratio LR. The study sho ...
