type 53 (Ghana strains), 3 as spoligotype 1166 and 2 as spoligotype 1475. Three other important clusters (18 strains) were found, one cluster with 8 (11%) strains belonged to the ubiquitous Haarlem family, spoligotype 50, another with 6 (8%) strains belonged to Uganda I strains with...
(47, 48, 49), followed by a dehydratation step carried on by the newly identified β-hydroxyacyl-AcpM dehydratases Rv0635-7 (FabZ′, FabZ, and FabZ″, respectively), also known as HadABC (50, 51), and reduced by the enoyl-AcpM reductase InhA, the primary target of isoniazid (52, ...
average expression changed by two-fold or more (up or down) in the three donors analyzed. Several candidate pathways were identified that significantly distinguished restrictive and permissive cells includingNUPR1,FOXM1, andCSF2RA, also known as the GM-CSF receptor (Fig.2b, Supplementary Data2)....
Tuberculosis treatment includes broad-spectrum antibiotics such as rifampicin, streptomycin and fluoroquinolones, which are also used against other pathogenic bacteria. We developed Drug Resistance Associated Genes database (DRAGdb), a manually curated r
