Journal ArticleDOI

Transcriptional Adaptation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis within Macrophages Insights into the Phagosomal Environment

TL;DR: The microbial transcriptome served as a bioprobe of the MTB phagosomal environment, showing it to be nitrosative, oxidative, functionally hypoxic, carbohydrate poor, and capable of perturbing the pathogen's cell envelope.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differences in outcome according to Clostridium difficile testing method: a prospective multicentre diagnostic validation study of C difficile infection

TL;DR: A new diagnostic category of potential C difficile excretor (cytotoxigenic culture positive but cytotoxin assay negative) could be used to characterise patients with diarrhoea that is probably not due to C diffICile infection, but who can cause cross-infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

SARS-CoV-2 Omicron is an immune escape variant with an altered cell entry pathway

Brian J. Willett, +672 more
- 07 Jul 2022 - 
TL;DR: In this article , the authors demonstrate substantial evasion of neutralization by Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 variants in vitro using sera from individuals vaccinated with ChAdOx1, BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273.529.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential expression of mycobacterial proteins following phagocytosis by macrophages

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that BCG expresses proteins while resident inside macrophages that are not expressed during in vitro growth in culture media or under conditions of heat shock, which will help elucidate the molecular basis of the attenuation and the vaccine potential of BCG.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mycobacterium tuberculosis expresses a novel pH-dependent divalent cation transporter belonging to the Nramp family.

TL;DR: Mammalian natural resistance–associated macrophage protein (Nramp) homologues are important determinants of susceptibility to infection by diverse intracellular pathogens including mycobacteria and Mramp exemplifies a novel prokaryotic class of metal ion transporter.
