Machine learning and docking models for Mycobacterium tuberculosis topoisomerase I.

Tuberculosis (Edinburgh, Scotland)
There is a shortage of compounds that are directed towards new targets apart from those targeted by the FDA approved drugs used against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Topoisomerase I (Mttopo I) is an essential mycobacterial enzyme and a promising target...

Artificial Intelligence and Amikacin Exposures Predictive of Outcomes in Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis Patients.

Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy
Aminoglycosides such as amikacin continue to be part of the backbone of treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). We measured amikacin concentrations in 28 MDR-TB patients in Botswana receiving amikacin therapy together with oral levofl...

Machine Learning Model Analysis and Data Visualization with Small Molecules Tested in a Mouse Model of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection (2014-2015).

Journal of chemical information and modeling
The renewed urgency to develop new treatments for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection has resulted in large-scale phenotypic screening and thousands of new active compounds in vitro. The next challenge is to identify candidates to pursue in a ...

Synthesis, identification and in vitro biological evaluation of some novel quinoline incorporated 1,3-thiazinan-4-one derivatives.

Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters
The present study describes the synthesis of two new series of 3-hydroxy-N-(4-oxo-2-phenyl-1,3-thiazinan-3-yl)-8-(trifluoromethyl)quinoline-2-carboxamide derivatives (4a-j) and 3-((7-chloroquinolin-4-ylamino)methyl)-2-phenyl-1,3-thiazinan-4-one deriv...

Tuberculous Pericarditis is Multibacillary and Bacterial Burden Drives High Mortality.

EBioMedicine
BACKGROUND: Tuberculous pericarditis is considered to be a paucibacillary process; the large pericardial fluid accumulation is attributed to an inflammatory response to tuberculoproteins. Mortality rates are high. We investigated the role of clinical...

In vitro antimycobacterial activity of six Cameroonian medicinal plants using microplate alamarBlue assay.

International journal of mycobacteriology
OBJECTIVE/BACKGROUND: The latest incidence of tuberculosis (TB) (per 100,000 people) in Cameroon was 243.00 as of 2011. Over the past 21 years, the value for this indicator has fluctuated between 112.00 in 1990 and 320.00 in 2003. Worldwide, this inc...

A tuberculosis ontology for host systems biology.

Tuberculosis (Edinburgh, Scotland)
A major hurdle facing tuberculosis (TB) investigators who want to utilize a rapidly growing body of data from both systems biology approaches and omics technologies is the lack of a standard vocabulary for data annotation and reporting. Lacking a mea...

Factors contribute to efficiency of specimen concentration of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by centrifugation and magnetic beads.

International journal of mycobacteriology
BACKGROUND: A concentration of specimen is recommended for the effective recovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), but the bacteriological efficiency is not well evaluated. The present study evaluated the factors contributing to concentration eff...

Use of a convolutional neural network for direct detection of acid-fast bacilli from clinical specimens.

Microbiology spectrum
Mycobacteria, including (MTB) and non-tuberculosis mycobacteria (NTM), are important causes of infectious disease and cause significant mortality and morbidity globally. Fast detection is extremely important to reduce transmission and mortality asso...
