>Magister Scientiae - MSc<br>Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease that results from infection by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which is regarded the most common infecting organism. TB has killed countless numbers of people particularly in underdeveloped countries. TB bacteria can remain inactive or in dormant state for years without causing symptoms or spreading to other subjects, but as soon as the immune system of the host becomes weakened, the bacteria become active and infect mainly the lungs along with other parts of body.

Abstract:
Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), other than Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) may produce pulmonary infection. NTMI is typically an indolent infection except in immunocompromised and HIV infected patients. Imaging plays a crucial role in suggesting NTMI as a possible diagnosis in this patient population. Always consider classic or cavitary NTMI in patients with upper lobe cavitary disease similar to active cavitary TB. However, in such cases TB must always be excluded. In elderly white women, persistent right middle lobe/lingular atelectasis, bronchiectasis or consolidation should suggest the diagnosis of bronchiectactic NTMI. In patients with imaging findings of subacute hypersensitivity pneumonitis, the radiologist must review the history and consult with the clinician in order to identify the triggering allergen, including NTM which is associated with indoor hot tubs.

Abstract:
Mycobacteria are Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacilli comprising the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (TB) and non-tuberculous mycobacteria. Infection, usually via inhalation, is often asymptomatic but can lead to primary TB or to latent TB infection which can later develop into ‘reactivation’ or ‘post-primary’ active disease. Pulmonary TB is the commonest manifestation, but extrapulmonary disease can affect almost any organ. Definitive diagnosis is by culture. Standard chemotherapy involves the use of rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol. Drug resistance is an increasing problem. Around 1.5 million people die from TB each year. Infection tends to present with a worsening of chronic respiratory symptoms in patients with underlying lung diseases. Diagnosis is difficult because these organisms are common in the environment. A long course of treatment with several drugs is required.

Abstract:
In patients with HIV infection, tuberculosis (TB) can present at any CD4 T-cell count, with a diversity of pulmonary and extrapulmonary manifestations. Because TB is spread via a respiratory route and may rapidly progress if untreated, providers should maintain a high level of suspicion for TB disease. Diagnostic evaluation includes testing of sputum or other clinical samples using acid-fast bacilli smear, mycobacterial culture, and molecular testing to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA and mutations that confer TB drug resistance. Treatment of drug-susceptible TB consists of isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol for 2 months, followed by isoniazid and rifampin for 4 months. Monitoring for drug interactions, toxicity, immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome, and nonadherence can improve patient outcomes. Patients living with HIV should be screened and treated for latent TB infection and given antiretroviral therapy to prevent TB disease.

The main diseases caused by mycobacterial infection are tuberculosis (TB) and leprosy. Despite a fall in the prevalence of these diseases over the last decade, they are still significant causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Atypical mycobacterial infections are encountered less frequently. Immigration patterns, the frequency of human immunodeficiency infection, and the increased numbers of patients on immunosuppressive treatments render mycobacterial infections relevant not only to physicians in the developing world where they traditionally occurred but also in the developed world. Skeletal TB occurs in 1–3% of cases of TB infection, and is more frequently encountered in the immunocompromised. A high index of suspicion is required, diagnosis relies on a combination of clinical features and radiological, histological, and microbiological tests. Multidrug regimens are required for treatment with surgery in selected cases. Leprosy is caused by M. leprae infection. The disease is still a leading cause of disability worldwide. Diagnosis is usually clinical. The course of the disease is indolent but may be interrupted by acute inflammatory reactions, which contribute to nerve damage and disability. Treatment aims at eliminating the mycobacteria using multidrug regimens, and management of complications including leprosy reactions and long-term nerve damage. Atypical mycobacterial infections affecting bone and joints are uncommon; they usually follow direct inoculation of the pathogen. Haematogenous dissemination is encountered in immunocompromised patients. These microorganisms are not usually susceptible to the same drug regimens used in the treatment of tuberculosis.

Abstract:
Tuberculosis (TB) holds a central and deadly platform around the globe, affecting mankind with around one-third of the world being affected by latent TB. TB progresses in the body through inhalation process and has a critical discrimination in terms of affecting individuals depending upon age, sex, socio-economic status, and even the stature of nation (developed or developing). The biggest challenge in TB management is accurate, direct, early diagnosis, and an ability to differentiate the type of mycobacterium. The most common and reliable direct methods include tuberculosis skin test (TST), smear microscopy, nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT), and immuno-chromatographic-based methods. However, culturing the specimen on a mycobacterium specific media is considered the ‘gold standard' for diagnosis of TB by the WHO. Mycobacterium cultures are used extensively for bacilli differentiation and also for predicting drug susceptibility testing in multi-drug-resistant TB. This chapter discusses the merits and demerits of many approaches to distinguish and identify the type of mycobacterium.

Abstract:
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is a thin, aerobic, non-spore forming, slow-growing (doubling time twelve hours) non-motile rod-shaped bacteria, belonging to the family Mycobacteriaceae. Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex is made up of several species, including M. tuberculosis, M. bovis, Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG), M. africanum, M. canetii, M.caprae, M. microti, and others. Transmission is via inhalation of aerosolized respiratory secretions. After inhalation, majority of bacilli are captured in the upper respiratory tract by mucus and removed through a process called clearance, although bacteria in small droplets can reach the alveoli where the bacilli are ingested by macrophages. If clearance is not effective infection may result. With the involvement of CD4 lymphocytes, interferon-γ and tumour necrosis factor-α, a granuloma is formed, and bacilli may be destroyed. In many cases, the bacilli are not destroyed and can spread into lymphatics or via blood to other sites (any organs) where it can lie dormant for years. This asymptomatic situation is called latent TB infection (LTBI). It may reactivate in 10% of people throughout their lifetime; this increases with immunosuppression and HIV infection. The course of illness is chronic and indolent. However, rapid progression to fulminant disease may result if the host is immunocompromised. Pulmonary TB is the most common and important form of TB because it is the infectious form of the disease. In areas where reactivation predominates (like the UK), there is a higher proportion of extrapulmonary TB. Tuberculosis bacilli resist destaining with acid alcohol treatment hence the term. This retention is due to complexing of the carbolfuschin Ziehl-Neelsen stain with mycolic acids present in the waxy cell wall, including lipoarabinomannan (which facilitates survival in macrophages). Microscopy will diagnose TB in 80% of smear-positive patients with a first sputum sample, a further 15% with the second, and 5% with a third. In endemic areas finding acid-fast bacilli in sputum has a 98% specificity, but this is not the case in the UK, a low-prevalence setting, where atypical mycobacteria can have a similar prevalence. In the best settings only 60% of culture-positive patients are also sputum smear-positive as liquid culture, the gold standard, and most sensitive test.

Abstract:
Even treatable and preventable with medication, tuberculosis (TB) continues to infect and cause deaths globally, especially in the poorest countries and in most vulnerable parts of the rich countries. Given this situation, the study of the growth curve of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which causes tuberculosis, can be a strong ally against TB. This study models the growth curve of Mycobacterium tuberculosis using simulation based agents, aiming to simulate the curve with the minimum possible error when compared to in vitro results. To implement this model, the agents represent the bacteria in their habitat and how they interact with each other and the environment. Some parameters of the agents are modelled with probability distributions.

Abstract:
Rapid detection of tuberculosis (TB) has been critically demanded over the last century. To detect TB, numerous methods screening Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) have been developed. However, the methods still have challenges of rapid and specific enrichment of MTB. In this study, we present a novel specific enrichment method of MTB using a microfabricated tip. Through our simulation study, a wavy-shaped microtip is designed to enhance capturing efficiency of bacteria. Using an optimized tip, bacteria are attracted by dielectrophoresis and captured by affinity binding and capillary action. In

Abstract:
Tuberculosis (TB) is an epidemic affecting one-third of the world’s population, mostly in developing and low-resource settings. People having active pulmonary TB are considered highly infectious; therefore, it is critical to identify and treat these patients rapidly before spreading to others. However, the most reliable TB diagnostic methods of bacterial culture or nucleic acid amplification are time-consuming and expensive. The challenge of TB diagnosis lies in highly sensitive and specific screening with low cost. Here, we present an LNA-modified microtip-sensor, which is capable of selectiv

Abstract:
Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most widely spread diseases. In 2006, 9.2 million new TB cases were reported with 1.7 million victims [1]. To diagnose TB, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is identified in clinical samples. The challenge of TB diagnostics is high-performance screening conducted by nontrained personnel. Currently, nucleic acid testing with target-amplification strategy such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is available for detection of TB. However, this entails cumbersome procedures run by skilled operators with expensive instrumentation and reagents. To overcome these challen
