Journal ArticleDOI
The scent of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Mona Syhre,Stephen T. Chambers +1 more
TL;DR: Four specific compounds from Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Myc Cobacterium bovis cultures grown in vitro that are distinctive volatile markers that are potentially useful as the basis of a non-invasive diagnostic test for TB and have characteristic odors are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
The scent of Mycobacterium tuberculosis – Part II breath
Mona Syhre,Laurens Manning,Laurens Manning,Suparat Phuanukoonnon,Paul Harino,Stephen T. Chambers +5 more
TL;DR: The free acid of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is converted into methyl nicotinate and statistically significant differences in the breath of smear positive patients compared with healthy (smear negative) subjects are detected.
Journal ArticleDOI
2-Aminoacetophenone as a potential breath biomarker for Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the cystic fibrosis lung
Amy Scott-Thomas,Mona Syhre,Philip Pattemore,Michael J. Epton,Richard Laing,John F. Pearson,Stephen T. Chambers +6 more
TL;DR: 2-AA is reported as a promising breath biomarker for the detection of Ps.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation into the production of 2-Pentylfuran by Aspergillus fumigatus and other respiratory pathogens in vitro and human breath samples
TL;DR: Breath analysis has the potential of being a non-invasive diagnostic method of detecting respiratory infection including invasive aspergillosis and the results suggest that 2PF may be a biomarker for lung colonization/infection by fungal pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of 2-Pentylfuran in the breath of patients with Aspergillus fumigatus
TL;DR: The sensitivity and specificity of the 2-PF breath tests when compared with recurrent isolation of aspergillus from sputum or from bronchoalveolar lavage over two months was 77% and 78% respectively.
