INDUCING VULNERABILITY TO INHA INHIBITION RESTORES ISONIAZID SUSCEPTIBILITY IN DRUG-RESISTANT MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS

Inducing vulnerability to InhA inhibition restores isoniazid susceptibility in drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis

ABSTRACT Of the approximately 10 million cases of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infections each year, over 10% are resistant to the frontline antibiotic isoniazid (INH).INH resistance is predominantly caused by mutations that decrease the activity of the bacterial enzyme KatG, which mediates the conversion of the pro-drug INH to its active form

Role of phytobiotics in relieving the impacts of Aeromonas hydrophila infection on aquatic animals: A mini-review

Aeromonas hydrophila is a ubiquitous bacterium with various hosts that causes mass mortality in farm-raised fish species and significant economic losses.The current antibiotic treatment is ineffective in controlling this bacterium infection in aquaculture species.Therefore, an evaluation of potential phytobiotics is needed to find an alternative an
