TB or not TB? Improving the understanding and diagnosis of tuberculosis through metabolomics
(Future Medicine, 2016)
“
...metabolomics has resulted in an exponential increase in the
number of newly identified tuberculosis biomarkers, which has not
only shed light on previously unknown disease mechanisms, but could
potentially ...
Metabolomics and personalized medicine
(Elsevier, 2016)
Current clinical practice strongly relies on the prognosis, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases using methods determined and averaged for the specific diseased cohort/population. Although this approach complies positively ...
Polyunsaturated fatty acid status in treated isovaleric acidemia patients
(Springer Nature, 2016)
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Nutritional deficiencies are frequently observed when treating patients with inborn errors of
metabolism due to an unbalanced diet. Thus far, patients with isovaleric acidemia (IVA) who adhere to a ...
A metabolomics investigation of the function of the ESX-1 gene cluster in mycobacteria
(Elsevier, 2016)
The ESX-1 gene cluster, encoding the Type-VII secretion (T7S) system and its virulence associated proteins, ESAT-6 and CFP-10, is thought to be responsible for the transport of extracellular proteins across the hydrophobic ...
New insights into the survival mechanisms of rifampicin-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis
(Oxford Univ Press, 2016)
Objectives: Rifampicin is considered the most important antibiotic for treating TB, but unfortunately Mycobacterium tuberculosis is rapidly developing resistance to this drug. Despite the fervent research efforts to date, ...
Can a metabolomics-based approach be used as alternative to analyse fatty acid methyl esters from soil microbial communities?
(Elsevier, 2016)
Modern high-throughput approaches such as metabolomics, holds promise for investigating microbial communities. This study evaluated the quantitative and qualitative data generation potential of a metabolomics-based approach ...
Using “omics” and integrated multi-omics approaches to guide probiotic selection to mitigate chytridiomycosis and other emerging infectious diseases
(Frontiers Media, 2016)
Emerging infectious diseases in wildlife are responsible for massive population declines. In amphibians, chytridiomycosis caused by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, Bd, has severely affected many amphibian populations and ...
