The goal of eliminating tuberculosis (TB) by 2050 depends on the development of improved TB diagnostics, drugs and vaccines. Advances in these areas require a deep understanding of the disease and its causative agent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb). My ...
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the scourge of humanity, is one of the most successful and scientifically challenging pathogens of all time. To catalyze the conception of new prophylactic and therapeutic interventions against tuberculosis, and to enhance our u ...
Chromatin-immunoprecipitation and sequencing (ChIP-seq) is a rapidly maturing technology that draws on the power of high-throughput short-read sequencing to decipher chromatin states with unprecedented precision and breadth. Although some aspects of the ex ...
Genome maps have been constructed for the mycobacterial pathogens Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium tuberculosis, as well as for the attenuated vaccine strain Mycobacterium bovis BCG Pasteur. While the chromosomes of M. tuberculosis and M. bovis BCG P ...
The powerful combination of genomics and bioinformatics is providing a wealth of information about Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the aetiological agent of human tuberculosis, that will facilitate the conception and development of new therapies. The starting ...
The genus mycobacteria includes two important human pathogens Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium lepra. The former is reputed to have the highest annual global mortality of all pathogens. Their slow growth, virulence for humans and particular phy ...
Tuberculosis, a global threat to public health, is becoming untreatable due to widespread drug resistance to frontline drugs such as the InhA-inhibitor isoniazid. Historically, by inhibiting highly vulnerable targets, natural products have been an importan ...
