Potenciais alvos moleculares para o desenvolvimento de novos fármacos antituberculose

Abstract: POTENTIAL MOLECULAR TARGETS FOR ANTITUBERCULOSIS DRUG DISCOVERY. Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by mycobacteria from the Mycobacterium genus, mainly by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). The World HealthOrganization (WHO) aims to reduce the number of TB cases worldwide in the coming years. Nevertheless, the increasing number of multidrug-resistant (MDR-TB) and extensive-drug resistance (XDR-TB) strains, and the ineffectiveness of the current treatment in latent tuberculosis are challenges to … Show more

“…Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by mycobacteria of the genus Mycobacterium, even though Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the species which has led to the highest morbidity and mortality rates (Fernandes, Chin, Santos, 2017). In 2015, the World Health Organization reported that there were 9,6 million new cases worldwide and 1,5 million deaths caused by the disease (Fernandes, Chin, Santos, 2017). Besides, there has been significant increase in the number of nontuberculous mycobacteria, such as Mycobacterium kansasii and M. avium, which also affect the lungs, lymph, skin and joints.…”
