Indication of spatially random occurrence of Chlamydia-like organisms in Bufo bufo tadpoles from ponds located in the Geneva metropolitan area

Stéphane Joost, Séverine Vuilleumier Varisco, Oliver Michele Selmoni, Elia Vajana, Ivo Widmer

Occurrence of bacteria belonging to the order Chlamydiales was investigated for the first time in common toad (Bufo bufo) tadpole populations collected from 41 ponds in the Geneva metropolitan area, Switzerland. A Chlamydiales-specific real-time PCR was us ...

Mode of Action of Clofazimine and Combination Therapy with Benzothiazinones against Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Stewart Cole, Benoit Lechartier

Clofazimine (CZM) is an antileprosy drug that was recently repurposed for treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. In Mycobacterium tuberculosis, CZM appears to act as a prodrug, which is reduced by NADH dehydrogenase (NDH-2), to release reactive oxy ...

Bioluminescence for Assessing Drug Potency against Nonreplicating Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Stewart Cole, Neeraj Dhar, Claudia Sala, Anthony Vocat, Ruben Hartkoorn, Ming Zhang, Benoit Lechartier

Targeting dormant Mycobacterium tuberculosis represents a challenge to antituberculosis drug discovery programs. We previously reported and validated the use of the streptomycin (STR)-dependent M. tuberculosis 18b strain as a tool for assessing drug potenc ...
