Abstract
Tuberculosis is one of the most common opportunistic infections and a prominent cause of death in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, in spite of near-universal access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) and tuberculosis preventive therapy. For patients with active tuberculosis but not yet receiving ART, starting ART after anti-tuberculosis treatment can complicate clinical management due to drug toxicities, drug-drug interactions and immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) events. The timing of ART initiation has a crucial impact on treatment outcomes, especially for patients with tuberculous meningitis. The principles of ART in patients with HIV-associated tuberculosis are specific and relatively complex in comparison to patients with other opportunistic infections or cancers. In this review, we summarize the current progress in the timing of ART initiation, ART regimens, drug-drug interactions between anti-tuberculosis and antiretroviral agents, and IRIS.

Paradoxical tuberculosis-associated immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome in initiating ART among HIV-Infected patients in China-risk factors and management. BMC Infect Dis 2024; 24:5. [PMID: 38166781 PMCID: PMC10759358 DOI: 10.1186/s12879-023-08897-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND China is a country burdened with a high incidence of both tuberculosis (TB) and HIV, Paradoxical tuberculosis-associated immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (TB-IRIS) is an important early complication in TB and HIV co-infected patients, but data from China are limited. Additionally, as an integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI)-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimen becomes the first-line treatment, concerns have arisen regarding the potential increase in the incidence of paradoxical TB-IRIS. Nevertheless, the existing data are inconclusive and contradictory. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study at Chongqing Public Health Clinical Center from January 2018 to December 2021. We collected demographic and clinical data of HIV/TB co-infected patients who initiated ART. We described the patient characteristics, identified predictors for TB-IRIS, and determined clinical outcomes. The Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS 25) was used to analyse the data. Continuous variables were compared using Student's t-test or rank sum test. Counting data were compared using the chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. The variables with statistical significance in the univariate analysis were added to the binary logistic regression. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS A total of 384 patients co-infected with naive HIV and pulmonary TB (PTB) who were given ATT and ART combination were included. 72 patients (18.8%) developed paradoxical TB-IRIS with a median of 15 (12, 21) days after initiating ART. Baseline age ≤ 40years, CD4 + T-cell counts ≤ 50cells/µL, HIV viral load ≥ 500,000 copies/mL were found to be significantly associated with development of paradoxical TB-IRIS. Mortality rates were similar in the TB-IRIS (n = 5, 6.9%) group and non-TB-IRIS (n = 13, 4.2%) group. Interestingly, CD4+ T-cell counts recovery post-ART was significant higher in the TB-IRIS group when compared to the non-TB-IRIS group at the end of 24 weeks (P = 0.004), as well as at 48 weeks (P = 0.015). In addition, we consider that INSTI- based ART regimen do not increased the risk of Paradoxical TB-IRIS. CONCLUSION Paradoxical TB-IRIS, while often leading to clinical deterioration and hospitalization, is generally manageable. It appears to have a positive impact on the recovery of CD4 + T-cell counts over time. Importantly, our data suggest that INSTI-based ART regimens do not elevate the risk of TB-IRIS. Thus, paradoxical TB-IRIS should not be considered an impediment to initiating ART in adults with advanced immunodeficiency, except in the case of tuberculous meningitis (TBM).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Foals that develop pulmonary ultrasonographic lesions on Rhodococcus equi (R. equi) endemic farms are treated with antibiotics because those at risk of developing clinical pneumonia (~20%) cannot be recognised early. Candidate biomarkers identified using metabolomics may aid targeted treatment strategies against R. equi. OBJECTIVES (1) To describe how foal ageing affects their plasma metabolome (birth to 8 weeks) and (2) to establish the effects that experimental infection with Rhodococcus equi (R. equi) has on foal metabolome. STUDY DESIGN Experimental study. METHODS Nine healthy newborn foals were experimentally infected with R. equi as described in a previous study. Foals were treated with oral antibiotics if they developed clinical pneumonia (n = 4, clinical group) or remained untreated if they showed no signs of disease (n = 5, subclinical group). A group of unchallenged foals (n = 4) was also included in the study. By the end of the study period (8 weeks), all foals were free of disease. This status was confirmed with transtracheal wash fluid evaluation and culture as well as thoracic ultrasonography. Plasma metabolomics was determined by GC-MS weekly for the study duration (8 weeks). RESULTS Foals' plasma metabolome was altered by ageing (birth to 8 weeks) and experimental infection with R. equi as demonstrated using multivariate statistical analysis. The intensities of 25 and 28 metabolites were altered by ageing and infection (p < 0.05) respectively. Furthermore, 20 metabolites changed by more than 2-fold between clinical and subclinical groups. MAIN LIMITATIONS The number of foals is limited. Foals were experimentally infected with R. equi. CONCLUSIONS Ageing and R. equi infection induced changes in the plasma metabolome of foals. These results provide an initial description of foal's plasma metabolome and serve as background for future identification of R. equi pneumonia biomarkers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The synergy between the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis during co-infection of a host is well known. While this synergy is known to be driven by immunological deterioration, the metabolic mechanisms that contribute to the associated disease burden experienced during HIV/tuberculosis (TB) co-infection remain poorly understood. Furthermore, while anti-HIV treatments suppress viral replication, these therapeutics give rise to host metabolic disruption and adaptations beyond that induced by only infection or disease. METHODS In this study, the serum metabolic profiles of healthy controls, untreated HIV-negative TB-positive patients, untreated HIV/TB co-infected patients, and HIV/TB co-infected patients on antiretroviral therapy (ART), were measured using two-dimensional gas chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Since no global metabolic profile for HIV/TB co-infection and the effect of ART has been published to date, this pilot study aimed to elucidate the general areas of metabolism affected during such conditions. RESULTS HIV/TB co-infection induced significant changes to the host's lipid and protein metabolism, with additional microbial product translocation from the gut to the blood. The results suggest that HIV augments TB synergistically, at least in part, contributing to increased inflammation, oxidative stress, ART-induced mitochondrial damage, and its detrimental effects on gut health, which in turn, affects energy availability. ART reverses these trends to some extent in HIV/TB co-infected patients but not to that of healthy controls. CONCLUSION This study generated several new hypotheses that could direct future metabolic studies, which could be combined with other research techniques or methodologies to further elucidate the underlying mechanisms of these changes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Various studies have identified TB-induced metabolome variations. However, in most of these studies, a large degree of variation exists between individual patients. OBJECTIVES To identify differential metabolites for TB, independent of patients' sex or HIV status. METHODS Untargeted GCxGC/TOF-MS analyses were applied to the sputum of 31 TB + and 197 TB- individuals. Univariate statistics were used to identify metabolites which are significantly different between TB + and TB- individuals (a) irrespective of HIV status, and (b) with a HIV + status. Comparisons a and b were repeated for (i) all participants, (ii) males only and (iii) females only. RESULTS Twenty-one compounds were significantly different between the TB + and TB- individuals within the female subgroup (11% lipids; 10% carbohydrates; 1% amino acids, 5% other and 73% unannotated), and 6 within the male subgroup (20% lipids; 40% carbohydrates; 6% amino acids, 7% other and 27% unannotated). For the HIV + patients (TB + vs. TB-), a total of 125 compounds were significant within the female subgroup (16% lipids; 8% carbohydrates; 12% amino acids, 6% organic acids, 8% other and 50% unannotated), and 44 within the male subgroup (17% lipids; 2% carbohydrates; 14% amino acids related, 8% organic acids, 9% other and 50% unannotated). Only one annotated compound, 1-oleoyl lysophosphaditic acid, was consistently identified as a differential metabolite for TB, irrespective of sex or HIV status. The potential clinical application of this compound should be evaluated further. CONCLUSIONS Our findings highlight the importance of considering confounders in metabolomics studies in order to identify unambiguous disease biomarkers.

Abstract
Metabolic processes play a critical role in immune regulation. Metabolomics is the systematic analysis of small molecules (metabolites) in organisms or biological samples, providing an opportunity to comprehensively study interactions between metabolism and immunity in physiology and disease. Integrating metabolomics into systems immunology allows the exploration of the interactions of multilayered features in the biological system and the molecular regulatory mechanism of these features. Here, we provide an overview on recent technological developments of metabolomic applications in immunological research. To begin, two widely used metabolomics approaches are compared: targeted and untargeted metabolomics. Then, we provide a comprehensive overview of the analysis workflow and the computational tools available, including sample preparation, raw spectra data preprocessing, data processing, statistical analysis, and interpretation. Third, we describe how to integrate metabolomics with other omics approaches in immunological studies using available tools. Finally, we discuss new developments in metabolomics and its prospects for immunology research. This review provides guidance to researchers using metabolomics and multiomics in immunity research, thus facilitating the application of systems immunology to disease research.

Abstract
The lethal combination involving TB and HIV, known as "syndemic" diseases, synergistically act upon one another to magnify the disease burden. Individuals on anti-retroviral therapy (ART) are at risk of developing TB-associated immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (TB-IRIS). The underlying inflammatory complication includes the rapid restoration of immune responses following ART, eventually leading to exaggerated inflammatory responses to MTB antigens. TB-IRIS continues to be a cause of morbidity and mortality among HIV/TB coinfected patients initiating ART, and although a significant quantum of knowledge has been acquired on the pathogenesis of IRIS, the underlying pathomechanisms and identification of a sensitive and specific diagnostic marker still remain a grey area of investigation. Here, we reviewed the latest research developments into IRIS immunopathogenesis, and outlined the modalities to prevent and manage strategies for better clinical and diagnostic outcomes for IRIS.

Abstract
Early diagnostics significantly improves the survival of patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC), which is the prevailing type of adult kidney cancer. However, the absence of clinically obvious symptoms and effective screening strategies at the early stages result to disease progression and survival rate reducing. The study was focused on revealing of potential low molecular biomarkers for early-stage RCC. The untargeted direct injection mass spectrometry-based metabolite profiling of blood plasma samples from 51 non-cancer volunteers (control) and 78 patients with different RCC subtypes and stages (early stages of clear cell RCC (ccRCC), papillary RCC (pRCC), chromophobe RCC (chrRCC) and advanced stages of ccRCC) was performed. Comparative analysis of the blood plasma metabolites between the control and cancer groups provided the detection of metabolites associated with different tumor stages. The designed model based on the revealed metabolites demonstrated high diagnostic power and accuracy. Overall, using the metabolomics approach the study revealed the metabolites demonstrating a high value for design of plasma-based test to improve early ccRCC diagnosis.

Abstract
The increase in life expectancy, leading to a rise in the proportion of older people, is accompanied by a prevalence of age-related disorders among the world population, the fight against which today is one of the leading biomedical challenges. Exploring the biological insights concerning the lifespan is one of the ways to provide a background for designing an effective treatment for the increase in healthy years of life. Untargeted direct injection mass spectrometry-based metabolite profiling of 12 species of Drosophila with significant variations in natural lifespans was conducted in this research. A cross-comparison study of metabolomic profiles revealed lifespan signatures of flies. These signatures indicate that lifespan extension is associated with the upregulation of amino acids, phospholipids, and carbohydrate metabolism. Such information provides a metabolome-level view on longevity and may provide a molecular measure of organism age in age-related studies.

Abstract
The HIV/AIDS (human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) and tuberculosis (TB) pandemics are perpetuated by a significant global burden of HIV/TB co-infection. The synergy between HIV and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) during co-infection of a host is well established. While this synergy is known to be driven by immunological deterioration, the metabolic mechanisms thereof remain poorly understood. Metabolomics has been applied to study various aspects of HIV and Mtb infection separately, yielding insights into infection- and treatment-induced metabolic adaptations experienced by the host. Despite the contributions that metabolomics has made to the field, this approach has not yet been systematically applied to characterize the HIV/TB co-infected state. Considering that limited HIV/TB co-infection metabolomics studies have been published to date, this review briefly summarizes what is known regarding the HIV/TB co-infection synergism from a conventional and metabolomics perspective. It then explores metabolomics as a tool for the improved characterization of HIV/TB co-infection in the context of previously published human-related HIV infection and TB investigations, respectively as well as for addressing the gaps in existing knowledge based on the similarities and deviating trends reported in these HIV infection and TB studies.

Abstract
AIMS CD4 T cell count and optimal timing of antiretroviral therapy (ART) during tuberculosis (TB) treatment are challenging. We conducted a meta-analysis to assess the association of CD4 T cell count and timing of ART initiation with immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) and all-cause mortality of patients co-infected with HIV/TB. METHODS We conducted an electronic search of clinical studies dated from January 1980 to December 2019 in PubMed and EMBASE. Randomized, controlled trials evaluating low-base CD4 T cell count (< 50 cells/μL) versus high-base CD4 T cell count (≥ 50 cells/μL), and/or early ART initiation (1 to 28 days after starting TB treatment) versus delayed ART initiation (≥ 28 days after starting TB treatment) were included. The primary endpoints were all-cause mortality and TB-related immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS-TB). The risk ratio (RR) was calculated as a measure of intervention effect. Mantel-Haenszel method was used to estimate the RR. RESULTS Ten trials (n = 5226) were conducted in North America, Africa, and Asia. We found that low-baseline CD4 T cell count increased the incidence of TB-associated IRIS (RR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.24-1.75; I2 = 58%) and all-cause mortality (RR, 2.42; 95% CI, 1.71-3.42; I2 = 41%) compared with high baseline CD4 T cell count, and early ART initiation increased the incidence of TB-associated IRIS compared with delayed ART initiation (RR, 1.80; 95% CI, 1.57-2.07; I2 = 74%). However, early ART initiation did not reduce all-cause mortality (RR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.74-1.12; I2 = 49%) compared with delayed ART initiation. CONCLUSIONS The present study demonstrates that low-baseline CD4 T cell count (< 50 cells/μL) in patients co-infected with TB-HIV increases the incidence of TB-associated IRIS and all-cause mortality. Early ART initiation (≤ 28 days) in patients co-infected with TB-HIV increases the incidence of TB-associated IRIS. However, evidence is insufficient to refute or support a survival benefit conferred by the comparison between early ART initiation (≤ 28 days) and delayed ART initiation.

Abstract
Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) is an inflammatory complication associated with an underlying opportunistic infection that can be observed in HIV-infected individuals shortly after the initiation of antiretroviral therapy, despite successful suppression of HIV viral load and CD4+ T cell recovery. Better understanding of IRIS pathogenesis would allow for targeted prevention and therapeutic approaches. In this study, we sought to evaluate the metabolic perturbations in IRIS across longitudinal time points using an unbiased plasma metabolomics approach as well as integrated analyses to include plasma inflammatory biomarker profile and whole blood transcriptome. We found that many lipid and amino acid metabolites differentiated IRIS from non-IRIS conditions prior to antiretroviral therapy and during the IRIS event, implicating the association between oxidative stress, tryptophan pathway, and lipid mediated signaling and the development of IRIS. Lipid and amino acid metabolic pathways also significantly correlated with inflammatory biomarkers such as IL-12p70 and IL-8 at the IRIS event, indicating the role of cellular metabolism on cell type specific immune activation during the IRIS episode and in turn the impact of immune activation on cellular metabolism. In conclusion, we defined the metabolic profile of IRIS and revealed that perturbations in metabolism may predispose HIV-infected individuals to IRIS development and contribute to the inflammatory manifestations during the IRIS event. Furthermore, our findings expanded our current understanding IRIS pathogenesis and highlighted the significance of lipid and amino acid metabolism in inflammatory complications.

Arsenate-Induced Changes in Bacterial Metabolite and Lipid Pools during Phosphate Stress. Appl Environ Microbiol 2021; 87:AEM.02261-20. [PMID: 33361371 DOI: 10.1128/aem.02261-20] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2020] [Accepted: 12/06/2020] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Agrobacterium tumefaciens GW4 is a heterotrophic arsenite-oxidizing bacterium with a high resistance to arsenic toxicity. It is now a model organism for studying the processes of arsenic detoxification and utilization. Previously, we demonstrated that under low-phosphate conditions, arsenate [As(V)] could enhance bacterial growth and be incorporated into biomolecules, including lipids. While the basic microbial As(V) resistance mechanisms have been characterized, global metabolic responses under low phosphate remain largely unknown. In the present work, the impacts of As(V) and low phosphate on intracellular metabolite and lipid profiles of GW4 were quantified using liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy (LC-MS) in combination with transcriptional assays and the analysis of intracellular ATP and NADH levels. Metabolite profiling revealed that oxidative stress response pathways were altered and suggested an increase in DNA repair. Changes in metabolite levels in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle along with increased ATP are consistent with As(V)-enhanced growth of A. tumefaciens GW4. Lipidomics analysis revealed that most glycerophospholipids decreased in abundance when As(V) was available. However, several glycerolipid classes increased, an outcome that is consistent with maximizing growth via a phosphate-sparing phenotype. Differentially regulated lipids included phosphotidylcholine and lysophospholipids, which have not been previously reported in A. tumefaciens The metabolites and lipids identified in this study deepen our understanding of the interplay between phosphate and arsenate on chemical and metabolic levels.IMPORTANCE Arsenic is widespread in the environment and is one of the most ubiquitous environmental pollutants. Parodoxically, the growth of certain bacteria is enhanced by arsenic when phosphate is limited. Arsenate and phosphate are chemically similar, and this behavior is believed to represent a phosphate-sparing phenotype in which arsenate is used in place of phosphate in certain biomolecules. The research presented here uses a global approach to track metabolic changes in an environmentally relevant bacterium during exposure to arsenate when phosphate is low. Our findings are relevant for understanding the environmental fate of arsenic as well as how human-associated microbiomes respond to this common toxin.

Abstract
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has represented a major advancement in the care of people living with HIV (PLWHH), resulting in significant reductions in morbidity and mortality through immune reconstitution and attenuation of homeostatic disruption. Importantly, restoration of immune function in PLWH with opportunistic infections occasionally leads to an intense and uncontrolled cytokine storm following ART initiation known as immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS). IRIS occurrence is associated with the severe and rapid clinical deterioration that results in significant morbidity and mortality. Here, we detail the determinants underlying IRIS development in PLWH, compiling the available knowledge in the field to highlight details of the inflammatory responses in IRIS associated with the most commonly reported opportunistic pathogens. This review also highlights gaps in the understanding of IRIS pathogenesis and summarizes therapeutic strategies that have been used for IRIS.

Abstract
Bacterial acute pneumonia is responsible for an extremely large burden of death worldwide and diagnosis is paramount in the management of patients. While multidrug-resistant bacteria is one of the biggest health threats in the coming decades, clinicians urgently need access to novel diagnostic technologies. In this review, we will first present the already existing and largely used techniques that allow identifying pathogen-associated pneumonia. Then, we will discuss the latest and most promising technological advances that are based on connected technologies (artificial intelligence-based and Omics-based) or rapid tests, to improve the management of lung infections caused by pathogenic bacteria. We also aim to highlight the mutual benefits of fundamental and clinical studies for a better understanding of lung infections and their more efficient diagnostic management.

Abstract
Antiretroviral therapy (ART), while essential in combatting tuberculosis (TB) and HIV coinfection, is often complicated by the TB-associated immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (TB-IRIS). Depending on the TB disease site and treatment status at ART initiation, this immune-mediated worsening of TB pathology can take the form of paradoxical TB-IRIS, unmasking TB-IRIS, or CNS TB-IRIS. Each form of TB-IRIS has unique implications for diagnosis and treatment. Recently published studies have emphasized the importance of neutrophils and T cell subtypes in TB-IRIS pathogenesis, alongside the recognized role of CD4 T cells and macrophages. Research has also refined our prognostic understanding, revealing how the disease can impact lung function. While corticosteroids remain the only trial-supported therapy for prevention and management of TB-IRIS, increasing interest has been given to biologic therapies directly targeting the immune pathology. TB-IRIS, especially its unmasking form, remains incompletely described and more data is needed to validate biomarkers for diagnosis. Management strategies remain suboptimal, especially in the highly morbid central nervous system (CNS) form of the disease, and further trials are necessary to refine treatment. In this review we will summarize the current understanding of the immunopathogenesis, the presentation of TB-IRIS and the evidence for management recommendations.

Abstract
Background In this study, we aimed to describe the prevalence, clinical presentation and risk factors of paradoxical tuberculosis-associated immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (TB-IRIS) cases in China. Methods We performed a descriptive analysis of demographic and clinical data of HIV/TB coinfected patients receiving ART at Beijing Ditan Hospital between January 2014 and October 2018. Results Of 199 patients included, 45 (22.6%) developed paradoxical TB-IRIS, and 19 (9.5%) TB-IRIS cases presented miliary TB. The pre-ART CD4 count lower than 50 cells/mm3 was found to be significantly associated with development of TB-IRIS. Similarly, patients with higher than 4-fold increase in CD4 cell count after antiretroviral therapy (ART) had significantly higher odds of having TB-IRIS. When patients aged 25–44 years were utilized as the control group, youths (< 25 years old) were more likely to have miliary TB. No significant difference was observed in the intervals from initiation of ART to IRIS presentation between miliary and non-miliary group. Conclusions In conclusion, our data demonstrate that approximate one quarter of patients coinfected with TB and HIV develop paradoxical TB-IRIS after initial of ART therapy in China. Lower baseline CD4 count and rapid increase in CD4 count are the major risk factors associated with the occurrence of paradoxical TB-IRIS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To screen new serum metabolic biomarkers for different drug resistance profiles of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and explore their mechanisms and functions. METHODS We collected serum samples from TB patients with drug sensitivity (DS), monoresistance to isoniazid (MR-INH), monoresistance to rifampin (MR-RFP), multidrug resistance (MDR), and polyresistance (PR). The metabolites in the serum samples were extracted by oscillatory and deproteinization for LC-MS/MS analysis, and the results were normalized by Pareto-scaling method and analyzed using Metaboanalyst 4.0 software to identify the differential metabolites. The differential metabolites were characterized by function enrichment and co-expression analysis to explore their function and possible pathological mechanisms. RESULTS Compared with the DS group, 286 abnormally expressed metabolites were identified in MR-INH group, 362 in MR-RPF group, 277 in MDR group and 1208 in PR group by LC-MS/MS analysis. Acetylagmatine (P < 0.05), aminopentol (P < 0.05), and tetracosanyl oleate (P < 0.05) in MR-INH group; Ala His Pro Thr (P < 0.001) and glycinoprenol-9 (P < 0.05) in MR-RFP group; trimethylamine (P < 0.05), penaresidin A (P < 0.05), and verazine (P < 0.05) in MDR group; and PIP (18:1(11Z)/ 18:3(6Z, 9Z, 12Z)) (P < 0.001), Pro Arg Trp Tyr (P < 0.001), N-methyldioctylamine (P < 0.001), and phytolaccoside E (P < 0.05) in PR group all showed significant differential expressions. Significant differential expressions of phthalic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester (P < 0.05) and eicosanoyl-EA (P < 0.05) were found in all the drug resistant groups as compared with DS group. CONCLUSIONS Acetylagmatine, aminopentol, tetracosanyl oleate, Ala His Pro Thr, glycinoprenol-9, trimethylamine, penaresidin A, verazine, PIP(18:1(11Z)/18:3(6Z, 9Z, 12Z)), Pro Arg Trp Tyr, N-methyldioctylamine, phytolaccoside E, phthalic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester, and eicosanoyl-EA are potentially new biomarkers that indicate monoresistance, multi-drug resistance and polyresistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The combined use of these biomarkers potentially allows for assessment of drug resistance in TB and enhances the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity.
