Iron deprivation enhances transcriptional responses to growth arrest of .

The establishment of (Mtb) long-term infection depends on several factors, one of which is the availability of key nutrients such as iron (Fe). The relation between Fe deprivation inside and outside the granuloma, and the capacity of Mtb to accumulate lipids and persist in the absence of growth is not well understood. In this context, current knowledge of how Mtb modifies its lipid composition in response to growth arrest, depending on iron availability, is scarce.

The Lack of the TetR-Like Repressor Gene _ () May Help Mycobacteria Overcome Intracellular Redox Stress and Survive Longer Inside Macrophages When Surrounded by a Lipid Environment.

Mycobacteria, like other microorganisms, survive under different environmental variations by expressing an efficient adaptive response, oriented by regulatory elements, such as transcriptional repressors of the TetR family. These repressors in mycobacteria also appear to be related to cholesterol metabolism. In this study, we have evaluated the effect of a fatty acid (oleic-palmitic-stearic)/cholesterol mixture on some phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of a tetR-mutant strain ( mutated gene) of BCG, a homologous of of .

Close Related Drug-Resistance Beijing Isolates of Reveal a Different Transcriptomic Signature in a Murine Disease Progression Model.

(MTB) lineage 2/Beijing is associated with high virulence and drug resistance worldwide. In Colombia, the Beijing genotype has circulated since 1997, predominantly on the pacific coast, with the Beijing-Like SIT-190 being more prevalent. This genotype conforms to a drug-resistant cluster and shows a fatal outcome in patients.
