The On-Campus Interview

The mabA gene from the inhA operon of Mycobacterium tuberculosis encodes a 3lketoacyl reductase that fails to confer isoniazid resistance

“…However, later on, INH-resistant clinical isolates of M. tuberculosis were frequently reported to have mutations in the ribosome-binding site (RBS) of ma6A (Kapur et al, 1996;Musser et al, 1996;Rouse et al, 1995;Telenti et al, 1997;Victor et al, 1997). This observation supported the speculation that, in M. tuberculosis, MabA could be an additional target for INH and ETH, and overexpression of MabA could mediate INH resistance by virtue of increased drug titration (Musser, 1995). Hence, we decided to characterize the mabA-encoded activity and examined, by a genetic approach, whether it can be a target for INH and ETH in M. tuberculosis.…”

“…As discussed in the Introduction, MabA from M. tuberculosis was suggested as a possible target for INH, mainly due to frequent observations of mutations at the RBS of mabA in many clinical INH-resistant M. tuberculosis isolates (Musser, 1995 (Baldock et al, 1996). Similarly, the knowledge of the MabA activity together with the ability to overexpress this highly conserved protein presents the mabA-encoded KAR as a potential target for developing new drugs.…”

Hiring student services professionals virtually

“…Use of virtual interviewing for hiring is not a new technique; however, the tradition of the on-campus interview is deeply rooted in higher education (Musser, 1995). Video conferencing has been researched since the mid-1990s as a potential tool for recruiting and interviewing in various contexts, including for college recruiters who cannot travel to every location, in an effort to reduce travel expenditures of time and financial resources (Baker & Demps, 2009).…”
