The aim of present survey is to study and analyse the attitudes of society regarding some medical, social and economic and law aspects related to the legalization of surrogate maternity in Bulgaria. An anonymous survey was conducted involving 387 people. The data was collected via a pen and paper questionnaire pack. The initiative has provoked wide public interest. According to the participants in the present study, in the event of it being legalized, surrogate maternity should not become a profession, a source of surplus income for the surrogate mother, but the costs directly related to the pregnancy, birth and postpartum recovery should be compensated. The rights of the surrogate mother regarding custody of the child after birth and abortion rights should be limited in favor of the intended parents. The aspects discussed concern only the projected legal framework of surrogate maternity in Bulgaria, because at the present, the Bill has not been adopted.","PeriodicalId":94295,"journal":{"name":"African health sciences","volume":"24 4","pages":"143-148"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11970168/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143797468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This in-silico study analyzed genomic differences between MTB isolates from the blood and lungs of TB-HIV positive cohorts in Uganda. The hypothesis was that isolates from the blood have distinct SNPs and INDELs that make them better survivors. Twenty-four MTB-blood and -lung sequences were aligned against the H37Rv reference genome and analyzed using BWA-MEM, IGV, SAMtools, FreeBayes, and SnpEff. Comparative analysis revealed that MTB-blood isolates had 11 virulence genes with distinctive non-synonymous SNPs involved in increasing colony-forming units, lowering host survival, enhancing tissue pathology, and allowing for human host persistence. The majority of INDELs were found in non-virulence genes, with the remainder in both MTB-blood and -lung sequences. The study suggests that MTB-blood isolates have distinctive SNPs that explain their capacity to persist outside of the lungs. However, further research is needed to understand the significance of these SNPs in the pathogenesis of MTB.Impact: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) clinical strains have high genomic variability, and there is a knowledge gap on the genomic differences between MTB isolates from the blood and lungs of TB-HIV positive patients in Uganda.
