Transcription In Mycobacteria : From Initiation To Elongation
(2015-01-02)
The global re-emergence of TB and other mycobacterial infections have underscored the need for a thorough investigation of the biology of the causative agent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, at the molecular level. The peculiar ...
Transcription Initiation and its Regulation in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
(2018-02-27)
The ability to fine-tune gene-expression in the adverse conditions during pre and post infectious stages has contributed in no small measure to the success of Mycobacterium tuberculosis as the deadly pathogen. Multiple ...
Ultrastructural and Molecular Analyses of the Unique Features of Cell Division in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis and Mycobacterium Smegmatis
(2018-04-13)
The Mycobacterium genus contains major human pathogens, like Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium leprae, which are the causative agents of Tuberculosis and Leprosy, respectively. They have evolved as successful ...
Insights into Occurrence and Divergence of Intrinsic Terminators and Studies on Rho-Dependent Termination in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
(2018-04-11)
Two mechanisms, intrinsic and factor-dependent, have evolved for accomplishing the termination of transcription in eubacteria. In this thesis, the first chapter is an introduction to the topic that presents what is known ...
Mechanistic And Functional Insights Into Mycobacterium Bovis BCG Induced Expression Of Cyclooxygenase-2 : Implications For Immune Evasion Strategies
(2014-09-25)
Mycobacteria are multifaceted pathogens capable of causing both acute disease as well as an asymptomatic latent infection. Protective immunity against pathogenic mycobacteria depends principally on cell-mediated immunity ...
Delineation Of Signaling Events Regulating Mycobacterium Bovis BCG Induced Expression Of MMR-9 And SPI6 : Possible Implications For Immune Subversion Mechanisms
(2013-08-30)
One key to the pathogenic potential of the mycobacteria lies in their capacity to resist destruction by infected macrophages and dendritic cells. Robust host immune responses during mycobacterial infection often involve a ...
Mechanistic And Functional Insights Into Mycobacterium Bovis BCG Triggered TLR2 Signaling : Implications For Immune Evasion Strategies
(2015-09-04)
Mycobacteria are multifaceted pathogens capable of causing both acute disease as well as an asymptomatic latent infection. Host immune responses during mycobacterial infection involve potent cell effector functions including ...
Delineation Of Signal Transduction Events During The Induction Of SOCS3 By Mycobacterium Bovis BCG : Possible Implications For Immune Subversion Mechanisms
(2010-09-30)
Pathogenic Mycobacteria are among the most unrelenting pathogens known to mankind as one-third of the world population is latently infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of pulmonary tuberculosis. ...
Survival Strategies Of SALMONELLA
(2010-08-25)
The genus Salmonella includes facultative intracellular pathogens. Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi) causes typhoid fever in humans killing about 2,00,000 people globally every year. Salmonella enterica serovars ...
