Mutation EthAW21R confers co-resistance to prothionamide and ethionamide in both Mycobacterium bovis BCG and Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv
(Dove Press, 2018-06)
Ethionamide (ETA) and prothionamide (PRO) are interchangeably used in tuberculosis
(TB) chemotherapy regimens. Subtle discrepancies between biochemical and genetic
information on the modes of sensitivity and resistance ...
Potential human pathogenic bacteria in five hot springs in Eritrea revealed by next generation sequencing
(PLOS ONE, 2018-03)
Human pathogens can survive and grow in hot springs. For water quality assessment,
Escherichia coli or Enterococci are the main thermotolerant enteric bacteria commonly used
to estimate the load of pathogenic bacteria ...
Advances in the development of molecular genetic tools for Mycobacterium tuberculosis
(Elsevier, 2018-07)
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a Gram-positive bacterium of great clinical relevance, is a lethal pathogen
owing to its complex physiological characteristics and development of drug resistance. Several molecular
genetic ...
Carbon in the Coastal Seascape: How Interactions Between Mangrove Forests, Seagrass Meadows and Tidal Marshes Influence Carbon Storage
(Springer, 2018-04)
Purpose of Review We use the ‘seascape’ concept to explore how interactions between mangrove forests, tidal marshes and
seagrass influence the storage of carbon in these ecosystems. Mangrove forests, with the other two ...
Drought Response in Selected Tropical Inbred Maize Lines and Relative Expression of PARP2 Gene under Limited Water Conditions
(Science Publishing Group, 2018-04)
Drought is the leading single factor that limits maize production thus inhibiting the crops genetic potential. In
response to drought, maize and other plants synthesize Poly ADP-Ribose (PAR) protein. This process is ...
Thermotolerant bacteria of biotechnological potential from hot springs in Eritrea
(2018-06)
Thermophiles are excellent sources of enzymes that can withstand and carry out reactions efficiently
under high temperatures. This study isolated and characterised thermotolerant bacteria that produce
enzymes of potential ...
Infestation Levels and Molecular Identification Based on Mitochondrial COI Bar code Region of Five Invasive Gelechiidae Pest Species in Kenya
(oxford, 2018-10-26)
Invasive Gelechiidae pest species, namely Tuta absoluta, Phthorimaea operculella, Aproaerema simplixella,
Sitotroga cerealella, and Pectinophora gossypiella are among the major constraints hampering agricultural
economy ...
