Bayesian inference with Expectation Maximisation for the characterisation of antibiotic treatment recovery in Cystic Fibrosis

Main project. Chronic episodes of sudden pulmonary deterioration followed by insufficient recoveries from antibiotic treatments are the main driver of morbidity and mortality in Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Study of recovery is performed to improve CF care monito ...

Optimized Background Regimen for Treatment of Active Tuberculosis with the Next-Generation Benzothiazinone Macozinone (PBTZ169)

Stewart Cole, Anthony Vocat, Shi-Yan Caroline Foo, Andréanne Lupien, Jean-Yves Gillon

The efficacy of the standardized four-drug regimen (comprising isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol) for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB) is menaced by the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drugresistant (XDR) strains of ...

Genomic and transcriptomic analysis of the streptomycin-dependent Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain 18b

Stewart Cole, Claudia Sala, Andrej Benjak, Ming Zhang, Jérémie Piton, Swapna Uplekar

Background: The ability of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to establish a latent infection (LTBI) in humans confounds the treatment of tuberculosis. Consequently, there is a need to discover new therapeutic agents that can kill M. tuberculosis both during activ ...

Streptomycin-Starved Mycobacterium tuberculosis 18b, a Drug Discovery Tool for Latent Tuberculosis

Stewart Cole, Neeraj Dhar, Claudia Sala, Ruben Hartkoorn, Ming Zhang

Mycobacterium tuberculosis 18b, a streptomycin (STR)-dependent mutant that enters a viable but nonreplicating state in the absence of STR, has been developed as a simple model for drug testing against dormant bacilli. Here, we further evaluated the STR-sta ...

A competition-based assay for the screening of species-specific antibiotics

Christoph Merten

Objectives To develop a high throughput screening-compatible assay for the selection of species-specific antibiotics that do not harm human cells. Methods Staphylococcus aureus and human reporter cells continuously generating a fluorescence signal were com ...

A method for rapid detection of rifampicin-resistant isolates of Mycobacterium leprae.

Stewart Cole

A genotypic method for predicting rifampicin resistance in Mycobacterium leprae has been developed and rigorously tested on mouse footpad-derived and clinical specimens. A series of immobilized oligonucleotide capture probes can discriminate between wild t ...

Study of symbiotic, serological and antibiotic resistance characteristics of different Rhizobium cicerii strains

Majed Chergui

The symbiotic performance of 24 isolates of Rhizobium Cicerii, collected from different Tunisien soils, were studied in a growth room and compared to the performance of two international strains (Som and 43). The antibiotic and serologic tests showed a lar ...

Streptomycin resistance in mycobacteria.

Stewart Cole

Streptomycin, the first antibiotic used in tuberculosis control programs, perturbs protein synthesis at the ribosome level. It is shown here that streptomycin resistance in some clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is associated either with miss ...

Implications of multidrug resistance for the future of short-course chemotherapy of tuberculosis: a molecular study

Stewart Cole

Tuberculosis-control programmes are compromised by the increased frequency of multidrug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We used the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis techniques to e ...
