Seven of these ORFs have high identity to proteins essential for basic cellular processes, including replication, in other mycobacterial species (Table 1).
To elucidate the mechanisms used by tubercle bacilli to survive in macrophages, researchers at several laboratories are studying mycobacterial genes specifically expressed during growth in macrophages [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 ] . Among the genes specifically expressed during intracellular growth are genes encoding two extracytoplasmic function sigma factors, SigE (σ E) and SigH (σ H) [ 3 4 5 ] . Sigma factors play critical roles in the recognition of promoters by RNA polymerase.
The frequency of acid-fast bacilli (AFB) smear in culture-positive MTB and MAC respiratory infection is listed in Table 5. Multiple episodes of pulmonary mycobacterial infections were diagnosed in 11 patients during the 3-year study: 3 episodes of pulmonary tuberculosis in 1 patient and 2 episodes in 3 patients; 5 episodes of pulmonary MAC in 2 patients, 3 in 1 patient, and 2 in 3 patients; and 2 episodes of pulmonary M kansasii in 1 patient.
