Prostatitis is a common disease, but rarely caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We present a case where a Danish man was referred to our outpatient clinic with lower urinary tract symptoms. Prostate biopsies revealed granulomatous prostatitis with caseous necroses and acid-fast bacilli. Urine and sputum were culture positive of M. tuberculosis and treatment was initiated. Tuberculosis is still an important diagnosis and should be remembered in urologic investigations. Extra pulmonary symptoms may be the initial presentation and lack of awareness could lead to increased spread.

Changes in cell type composition play an important role in human health and disease. Recent advances in single-cell technology have enabled the measurement of cell type composition at increasing cell lineage resolution across large cohorts of individuals. Yet this raises new challenges for statistical analysis of these compositional data to identify changes in cell type frequency.

This review examines representatives of organocyclophosphazenes that can act against tumor cells of the ovaries, prostate gland, mammary gland, and colon, etc., and have antimicrobial action against mycobacteria , Gram-positive bacteria , Gram-negative bacteria , fungi of the genus , and other microorganisms. Cyclomatric phosphazenes can be used as carriers of physiologically active substances and in the field of detection, as well as gels for wound surgery and drug delivery platforms.

Inflammasome regulates the host response to intracellular pathogens including mycobacteria. We have previously shown that the course of Mycobacterium marinum infection in adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) mimics the course of tuberculosis in human. To investigate the role of the inflammasome adaptor pycard in zebrafish M.
