Project description:Transcriptional profiling of mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates in China comparing extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis with drug sensitive one.
Project description:The goal of this multiplatform, non-targeted metabolomics study was to explore the metabolic alterations occurring during the natural progression of pulmonary tuberculosis in a murine model of disease (C57BL/6 genotype). For this purpose, we used gas chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, and reversed-phase liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass analyzers (GC-EI-QTOF/MS, CE-ESI(+)-QTOF/MS, LC-ESI(+)-QTOF/MS and LC-ESI(-)-QTOF/MS to analyze lung extracts of age and sex-matched uninfected mice (UW, n=4), Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected mice at 4 weeks post-infection (4W, n=4) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected mice at 9 weeks post-infection. All data were acquired in MS1 mode, following a canonical non-targeted workflow.
