Antibodies to Shiga toxin in the serum of children with Shigella-associated haemolytic uraemic syndrome.

abstract：:As Mycobacterium leprae proliferate inside macrophages, it has been speculated that catalase encoded by katG may protect the bacilli from deleterious effects of peroxide generated from the macrophage and may also play a crucial role in the survival of M. leprae in vivo. However, unlike that of M. tuberculosis, the kat...
