Bacterial serine-threonine protein kinases (STKs) regulate diverse cellular processes associated with cell growth, virulence, and pathogenicity. They are evolutionarily related to the druggable eukaryotic STKs. However, an incomplete knowledge of how bacterial STKs differ from their eukaryotic counterparts and how they have diverged to regulate diverse bacterial signaling functions presents a bottleneck in targeting them for drug discovery efforts.

Thoracic aortic pseudoaneurysms are a rare but serious complication of infectious processes, often resulting from mycotic (infectious) aneurysms, occurring when the vessel wall is compromised by an infection, leading to the formation of a pseudoaneurysm [1]. Mycotic aneurysms typically result from bacteremia or fungemia, with common sources being infective endocarditis or other systemic infections. Tuberculosis, though a common infectious disease worldwide, is an unusual cause of aortic pseudoaneurysm formation.

Tuberculous meningitis (TBM), a severe form of non-purulent meningitis caused by (Mtb), is the most critical extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB) manifestation, with a 30-40% mortality rate despite available treatment. The absence of distinctive clinical symptoms and effective diagnostic tools complicates early detection. Recent advancements in nucleic acid detection, genomics, metabolomics, and proteomics have led to novel diagnostic approaches, improving sensitivity and specificity.
