Evaluation of antiprotozoal and antimycobacterial activities of the resin glycosides and the other metabolites of <em>Scrophularia cryptophila</em> (Publications)
Resin glycosides are secondary metabolites exclusive to the convolvulaceous plants. In this study, crypthophilic acids A-C (1-3), the first resin glycosides occurring in another family (Scrophulariace
Antituberculotic and antiprotozoal activities of primin, a natural benzoquinone: in vitro and in vivo studies (Publications)
Primin (=2-methoxy-6-pentylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione), a natural benzoquinone synthesized in our laboratory, was investigated for its in vitro antiprotozoal, antimycobacterial, and cytotoxic poten
Relationship between <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> genotype and the clinical phenotype of pulmonary and meningeal tuberculosis (Publications)
We used large sequence polymorphisms to determine the genotypes of 397 isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from human immunodeficiency virus-uninfected Vietnamese adults with pulmonary (n = 235) or
Prevalence of four enteropathogens in the faeces of young diarrhoeic dairy calves in Switzerland (Publications)
The prevalences of Cryptosporidium parvum, rotavirus, bovine coronavirus (BCV), and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (E coli K99) were determined in diarrhoeic dairy calves aged one to 21 days on 71 d
Genomic deletions classify the Beijing/W strains as a distinct genetic lineage of <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> (Publications)
Beijing/W strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis are geographically widespread and hypervirulent. To enhance our understanding of their origin and evolution, we sought phylogenetically informative larg
