    Abstract

    Introduction: Infections by multidrug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is a major public health challenge. Secretion of proteins by M. tuberculosis plays an important role in the pathogenesis of the bacterium. We compared the protein profiles of susceptible M. tuberculosis and MDR-TB isolates using proteomic analyses, namely two dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE) and mass spectrometry (MS). Methods: The bacilli were cultured on Middlebrook 7H9 medium and bacterial colonies were mechanically disrupted and proteins were extracted by ammonium sulfate. The 2DE and MS analyses were performed using Ettan IP Gphor 3 isoelecteric system and Autoflex II TOF/TOF, respectively. Results: Our study showed that in comparison to the sensit

    Abstract

    Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a deadly infectious disease despite all the efforts to reduce its incidence. Spread of multidrug resistant TB has seriously undermined the efforts to control the disease globally. In this study protein expression profile of MDR and sensitive isolates of MTB were analyzed and compared in order to identify proteins, which could be used in prevention, diagnosis and treatment. Methods: A sensitive and MDR isolate of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) were cultured on Middlebrook 7H9 medium and the whole cell lysates were subjected to native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (NPAGE) for protein expression profiling. Protein bands present in the MDR cell lysate that were not detected in the sensitive cell ly
