[Molecular markers of M. tuberculosis virulence in lung tissue (experimental study)].

Unlabelled: More than a quarter of the world's population is infected with . However, only about 10% of those infected develop active TB. This indicates a key role for innate immunity in limiting M.

TB/FLU-06E Influenza Vector-Based Vaccine in the Complex Therapy of Drug-Susceptible and Drug-Resistant Experimental Tuberculosis.

The steady rise of drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB), which renders standard therapy regimens ineffective, necessitates the development of innovative treatment approaches. Immunotherapeutic vaccines have the potential to effectively regulate the anti-TB immune response and enhance the efficacy of anti-TB treatment. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the potency of the mucosal vector vaccine TB/FLU-06E as part of a complex treatment regimen for drug-susceptible (DS) or drug-resistant (DR) tuberculosis in C57BL/6 mice.

Molecular Periphery Design Allows Control of the New Nitrofurans Antimicrobial Selectivity.

A series of 13 new 3-substituted 5-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazoles was synthesized from different aminonitriles. All compounds were screened in the disc diffusion test at a 100 μg/mL concentration to determine the bacterial growth inhibition zone presence and diameter, and then the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined for the most active compounds by serial dilution. The compounds showed antibacterial activity against ESKAPE bacteria, predominantly suppressing the growth of 5 species out of the panel.

The Nitrofuran-Warhead-Equipped Spirocyclic Azetidines Show Excellent Activity against .

A series of 21 new 7'H-spiro[azetidine-3,5'-furo [3,4-d]pyrimidine]s substituted at the pyrimidine ring second position were synthesized. The compounds showed high antibacterial in vitro activity against . Two compounds had lower minimum inhibitory concentrations against (H37Rv strain) compared with isoniazid.
