Multiple Introductions of Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis into Households, Lima, Peru

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011
Two cases of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR TB) in a household are assumed to reflect within-household transmission. However, in high-incidence areas of MDR TB, secondary cases may arise through exposure to MDR TB in the community. To estimate the

Clinico-radiological Difference Section between Primary and Secondary MDR Pulmonary Tuberculosis [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2019
Introduction: Multidrug Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is classified into primary and secondary type depending upon history of Anti-TB drug received in past. MDR-TB generally remains undetected in newly detected TB cases as the index of suspicion is low.

MDR-TB in Pakistan: Challenges, efforts, and recommendations

Annals of Medicine & Surgery, 2022
Tuberculosis (TB), a global health concern is also a leading cause of mortality and morbidity across Pakistan affecting a major proportion of the population. The absence of an integrated system to control the spread of TB has led to a rise in multidrug resistant strains of TB (MDR-Tb) which do not exhibit any sensitivity towards the first line therapy ...

Targeting Lipopolysaccharide Transport Induces Membrane Lipid Remodeling and Sensitizes Acinetobacter baumannii to Colistin Treatment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies C4 as a lead inhibitor of the Lpt system. Notably, C4 potentiates colistin activity by disrupting LPS transport and remodeling phospholipid homeostasis, revealing a functional interplay between the Lpt and Mla systems. These findings establish a mechanistic link between Lpt inhibition and membrane lipid remodeling, positioning Lpt–

Adverse events in bedaquiline‐ and pretomanid‐based regimens for drug‐resistant tuberculosis from trial, implementation and pharmacovigilance studies

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract The availability of safety data, particularly concerning adverse events (AEs) associated with the new shorter regimen for drug‐resistant tuberculosis (TB) containing a bedaquiline–pretomanid‐based regimen, is still limited. This systematic review aims to provide a comprehensive and updated analysis of AEs related to this new regimen by ...

Preserved Spermatogenesis and Hormonal Function in Men Receiving a Pretomanid Regimen (BPaMZ) for Pulmonary Drug‐Resistant Tuberculosis

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Pretomanid is a component of the World Health Organization‐recommended treatment regimen for drug‐resistant tuberculosis in patients aged ≥ 14 years. While preclinical rodent studies identified testicular toxicity as a potential clinical liability at elevated doses, no corresponding effects were observed in nonhuman primates nor clinical hormone ...
