Infectious disease is the most common cause of illness and death in Africa, yet health practitioners routinely fail to identify causative microorganisms in most patients. As a result, patients often do not receive the right medicine in time to cure them promptly even when such medicine is available, outbreaks are larger and more devastating than they should be, and the impact of control interventions is difficult to measure. Wrong prescriptions and...

Mammalian Heme Peroxidases and Mycobacterium tuberculosis As far as the ligand binding sites are concerned all the three enzymes, LPO, MtCP and PncA show considerable similarities with strong preferences for the binding of small aromatic compounds. There is a clear evidence that INH is converted in a similar manner into active form by both LPO and MtCP indicating a direct role of LPO in the treatment of TB. Similarly, PZA also makes a good substrate...
