Integrating whole-genome sequencing within the National Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program in the Philippines

Nature Communications, 2020
Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) can support drug resistance surveillance, but is rare in low- and middle-income countries. Here, the authors integrate WGS within the national antimicrobial resistance surveillance program in the Philippines and conduct a ...

Genotypic and phenotypic characterization of Mycobacterium tuberculosis resistance against fluoroquinolones in the northeast of Iran

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2020
Background Fluoroquinolones are broad-spectrum antibiotics that are recommended, and increasingly important, for the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). Resistance to fluoroquinolones is caused by mutations in the Quinolone Resistance
