Better access to tuberculosis testing is a key priority for fighting tuberculosis, the leading cause of infectious disease deaths in people. Despite roll-out molecular WHO-recommended rapid diagnostics replace sputum smear microscopy over past decade, large diagnostic gap remains. Of estimated 10·6 million people who developed globally 2022, more than 3·1 were not diagnosed. An exclusive focus on improving test accuracy alone will be sufficient close tuberculosis. Diagnostic yield, which we...
We previously reported that laboratory reference strains of Chlamydia trachomatis differing in infection organotropism correlated with inactivating mutations the pathogen's tryptophan synthase (trpBA) genes. Here, we have applied functional genomics to extend this work and find paradigm established for serovars also applies clinical isolates — specifically, all ocular trachoma tested synthase, whereas genital encode a enzyme. Moreover, enzyme activity was directly IFN-γ resistance through an...
