    The role of metabolomics in tuberculosis treatment research 

    Luies, Laneke; Du Preez, Ilse; Loots, Du Toit (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 ...

    A metabolomics approach exploring the function of the ESX-3 type VII secretion system of M. smegmatis 

    Loots, Du Toit; Meissner-Roloff, Reinart J.; Newton-Foot, Mae; Gey van Pittius, Nicolaas C. (Springer, 2013)
    The genome of Mycobacterium, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis, contains five copies of a cluster of genes encoding a novel type VII secretion system, named the ESX gene cluster region. This ESX-3 gene cluster is ...

    New insights into the survival mechanisms of rifampicin-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis 

    Loots, Du Toit (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, ...

    Urinary metabolite markers characterizing tuberculosis treatment failure 

    Luies, Laneke; Mienie, Japie; Motshwane, Christinah; Loots, Du Toit; Ronacher, Katharina (Springer, 2017)
    Background Considering that approximately 15% of the nine million new tuberculosis (TB) cases reported per annum are not treated successfully, new, distinctive and specific biomarkers are needed to better characterize the ...

    Predicting tuberculosis treatment outcome using metabolomics 

    Luies, Laneke; Van Reenen, Mari; Loots, Du Toit; Ronacher, Katharina; Walzl, Gerhard (Future Medicine, 2017)
    Aim: Predicting a poor treatment outcome would offer significant benefits for patient care and for new drug development. Materials, methods & results: Urine samples from tuberculosis-positive patients with a successful and ...

    Novel insights into the pharmacometabonomics of first-line tuberculosis drugs relating to metabolism, mechanism of action and drug-resistance 

    Du Preez, Ilse; Loots, Du Toit (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 ...

    The altered human serum metabolome induced by a marathon 

    Stander, Zinandré; Luies, Laneke; Mienie, Lodewyk J.; Howatson, Glyn; Loots, Du Toit (Springer, 2018)
    Introduction Endurance races have been associated with a substantial amount of adverse effects which could lead to chronic disease and long-term performance impairment. However, little is known about the holistic metabolic ...

    Fatty acid metabolome extraction from mycobacterial cells for GC-MS metabolomics analysis 

    Du Preez, Ilse; Beukes, Derylize; Loots, Du Toit (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 ...

    Total metabolome extraction from mycobacterial cells for GC-MS metabolomics analysis 

    Beukes, Derylize; Du Preez, Ilse; Loots, Du Toit (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 ...

    The application of metabolomics toward pulmonary tuberculosis research 

    Du Preez, Ilse; Luies, Laneke; Loots, Du Toit (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 ...
