Latent Tb is the phase when the bacteria exits in one person’s body and unable to replicate properly due to healthy and good immunity response.

Mutations in the rpoB gene, encoding the β-subunit of RNA polymerase, are implicated in RIF resistance - with the S531L and H526Y mutations occurring most frequently. The level of RIF resistance varies for strains with identical rpoB mutations, which suggests that other factors play a role in RIF resistance. Efflux has been implicated in determining the intrins

Antitermination is a mechanism by which RNA polymerase is able to transcribe through both Rho-dependent and-independent terminators.

Abstract:
Thesis (MSc (Biomedical Technology))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2017.<br>According to the Namibia National Tuberculosis Control Programme (NTCP) report of 2008, Namibia has one of the highest TB infection rates in the world with a case notification rate of 748/100,000. Rapid, specific and sensitive diagnosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is needed for correct TB patient management. One of the aims of this study was thus to compare direct microscopy with two rapid molecular diagnostic tools (viz. GeneXpert MTB/RIF and Hain Genotype® MTBDR plus assay) for the identification

Abstract:
The study of microbial evolution has been recently accelerated by the advent of comparative genomics, an approach enabling investigation of organisms at the whole-genome level. Tools of comparative genomics, including the DNA microarray, have been applied in bacterial genomes towards studying heterogeneity in DNA content, and to monitor global gene expression. When focused upon the study of microbial pathogens, genome analysis has provided unprecedented insight into their evolution, virulence, and host adaptation. Contributing towards this, I herein explore the evolutionary change affecting ge

Abstract:
This thesis examines the contrasting roles of genetic drift and selection on the emergence of drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis . In clinical practice some alleles of rifampicin resistance are isolated more frequently than others. To identify if this variation is due to genetic drift or selection, the mutation rate to rifampicin resistance in M. tuberculosis (H37Rv) was determined. PCR-SSCP analysis revealed only three patterns from the rifampicin resistant isolates, each pattern arising at the same mutation rate (Mann-Whitney U test P>0.5). Fitness, defined as the ratio of generat
