    Abstract : Tuberculosis is a fatal airborne disease caused by bacteria from the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC). The incidence of contracting tuberculosis is estimated to be around 10.6 million cases each year. Increased drug resistance among mycobacteria has led to the need to develop new treatments.

  6. 5. The role of 6C RNA in gene regulation in mycobacteria

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Zhou Dexin; [2021]
    Keywords : Mycobacterium 6C RNA β-galactosidase activity;

    Abstract : The Actinomycetes, to which the Mycobacterium genus belongs contains many pathogens, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which can cause tuberculosis, so it has become a focus area in modern molecular biology research. Mycobacteria contain many proteins and regulatory factors, including tRNA, ncRNA and sRNA, which can help bacteria better adapt to the environment. READ MORE
