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 ...
Fatty acid metabolome extraction from mycobacterial cells for GC-MS metabolomics analysis
(Humana, 2019)
Metabolomics is becoming an increasingly popular research tool for identifying new biomarkers, which can, among other applications, be applied to elucidate various microbial growth and virulence mechanisms. Since the lipid ...
The application of metabolomics toward pulmonary tuberculosis research
(Elsevier, 2019)
In the quest to identify novel biomarkers for pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), high-throughput systems biology approaches such as metabolomics has become increasingly widespread. Such biomarkers have not only successfully been ...
Metabolomics describes previously unknown toxicity mechanisms of isoniazid and rifampicin
(Elsevier, 2020)
Isoniazid and rifampicin are well-known anti-mycobacterial agents and are widely used to treat pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) as part of the combined therapy approach, recommended by the World Health Organization. The ingestion ...
Novel insights into the pharmacometabonomics of first-line tuberculosis drugs relating to metabolism, mechanism of action and drug-resistance
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)
The World Health Organization recommends the directly observed therapy short-course (DOTS) regimen, a combination of four first-line antibiotics (isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide and ethambutol), for the treatment of ...
Total metabolome extraction from mycobacterial cells for GC-MS metabolomics analysis
(Humana, 2019)
Over the past 10 years, the number of metabolomics based publications in the available scientific literature has exponentially grown, a large portion of which describing new biomarkers better elucidating microbial disease ...
A comparison of four sputum pre-extraction preparation methods for identifying and characterising Mycobacterium tuberculosis using GCxGC-TOFMS metabolomics
(Elsevier, 2012)
In many pulmonary diseases, sputum is a valuable sample material for use in disease characterisation and diagnostics. However, due to its high viscosity and uneven consistency (lumpiness), it is difficult to obtain ...
The role of metabolomics in tuberculosis treatment research
(Future Medicine, 2017)
Despite the fact that tuberculosis (TB) is a curable disease, it still results in approximately 1.8 million deaths annually. Various inadequacies in the current TB treatment strategies are major contributors to this high ...
Tween 80 induces a carbon flux rerouting in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
(Elsevier, 2020)
As a means to increase the growth rate and reduce aggregation, Tween 80 is routinely added to growth media during mycobacterial culturing. This detergent has, however, been associated with causing alterations to the ...
