In Vivo Activity of the Benzothiazinones PBTZ169 and BTZ043 against Nocardia brasiliensis

Stewart Cole

Background Mycetoma is a neglected, chronic, and deforming infectious disease caused by fungi and actinomycetes. In Mexico, N. brasiliensis is the predominant etiologic agent. Therapeutic alternatives are necessary because the current drug regimens have se ...

Mycobacterium leprae genomes from a British medieval leprosy hospital: towards understanding an ancient epidemic

Stewart Cole, Pushpendra Singh

Background: Leprosy has afflicted humankind throughout history leaving evidence in both early texts and the archaeological record. In Britain, leprosy was widespread throughout the Middle Ages until its gradual and unexplained decline between the 14th and ...

Genome-wide re-sequencing of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium leprae Airaku-3

Stewart Cole, Jacques Rougemont, Andrej Benjak, Charlotte Avanzi, Philippe Busso, Pushpendra Singh

Genotyping and molecular characterization of drug resistance mechanisms in Mycobacterium leprae enables disease transmission and drug resistance trends to be monitored. In the present study, we performed genome-wide analysis of Airaku-3, a multidrug-resist ...

Structural studies suggest a peptidoglycan hydrolase function for the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Tat-secreted protein Rv2525c

Stewart Cole, Raju Mukherjee, Sophie Magnet

Among the few proteins shown to be secreted by the Tat system in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Rv2525c is of particular interest, since its gene is conserved in the minimal genome of Mycobacterium leprae. Previous evidence linked this protein to cell wall me ...

Cross-Resistance between Clofazimine and Bedaquiline through Upregulation of MmpL5 in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Stewart Cole, Ruben Hartkoorn, Swapna Uplekar

The antileprosy drug clofazimine is also of interest for the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. To understand possible resistance mechanisms, clofazimine-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis mutants were isolated in vitro, and, unexpectedly, fo ...

Médecine génomique et Maladies infectieuses [Genomic medicine and infectious diseases]

Jacques Fellay

Les progrès actuels dans la connaissance des variations génétiques humaines et de leurs conséquences fonctionnelles permettent de mieux comprendre la bataille millénaire que se livrent l'homme et les microbes. De nombreux polymorphismes modulant notre répo ...

Detection and Strain Typing of Ancient Mycobacterium leprae from a Medieval Leprosy Hospital

Stewart Cole, Pushpendra Singh

Nine burials excavated from the Magdalen Hill Archaeological Research Project (MHARP) in Winchester, UK, showing skeletal signs of lepromatous leprosy (LL) have been studied using a multidisciplinary approach including osteological, geochemical and biomole ...

Genome-wide comparison of medieval and modern Mycobacterium leprae

Stewart Cole, Andrej Benjak, Philippe Busso, Pushpendra Singh

Leprosy was endemic in Europe until the Middle Ages. Using DNA array capture, we have obtained genome sequences of Mycobacterium leprae from skeletons of five medieval leprosy cases from the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Denmark. In one case, the DNA was so ...

2-piperazin-1-yl-4h-1,3-benzothiazin-4-one derivatives and their use for the treatment of mammalian infections

Stewart Cole

The present invention relates to new 2-piperazin-1-yl-4H-1,3-benzothiazin- 4-one derivatives and their use for the treatment of mammalian infections caused by bacteria, especially diseases like tuberculosis (TB), Buruli ulcer and leprosy that result from i ...

A Case of Diffuse Lepromatous Leprosy associated with Mycobacterium lepromatosis

Stewart Cole, Philippe Busso, Pushpendra Singh

An 86-year old female patient from northeast Mexico presented with diffuse lepromatous leprosy (DLL). Sequence analysis of four genes (rrs, rpoB, sigA and hsp65) from the skin biopsy identified Mycobacterium lepromatosis. This is the first independent conf ...

Probable zoonotic leprosy in the southern United States

Stewart Cole, Adamantia Kapopoulou, Jacques Rougemont, Pushpendra Singh, Rahul Sharma, Philippe Busso

In the southern region of the United States, such as in Louisiana and Texas, there are autochthonous cases of leprosy among native-born Americans with no history of foreign exposure. In the same region, as well as in Mexico, wild armadillos are infected wi ...

Molecular drug susceptibility testing and genotyping of Mycobacterium leprae strains from South America

Stewart Cole, Philippe Busso, Pushpendra Singh

Possible drug resistance in Mycobacterium leprae strains from Venezuela and three other South American countries was surveyed by molecular methods. None of the 230 strains from new leprosy cases exhibited drug resistance-associated mutations. However, two ...
