Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis [PDF]
BMC Infectious Diseases, 2008 With almost 9 million new cases each year, tuberculosis remains one of the most feared diseases on the planet. Led by the STOP-TB Partnership and WHO, recent efforts to combat the disease have made considerable progress in a number of countries. However, the emergence of mutated strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis that are resistant to the major anti-

Multidrug Resistance in Bacteria [PDF]
Annual Review of Biochemistry, 2009 Large amounts of antibiotics used for human therapy, as well as for farm animals and even for fish in aquaculture, resulted in the selection of pathogenic bacteria resistant to multiple drugs. Multidrug resistance in bacteria may be generated by one of two mechanisms.

Annals of Medicine, 1991 Resistance of malignant cells to cytotoxic agents is often a limiting factor to successful chemotherapy. The classical multidrug resistance is characterised by overexpression of a membrane protein, P-glycoprotein, which acts like a drug extruding pump reducing accumulation of cytotoxic agents inside malignant cells, thereby preventing their function ...

Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis [PDF]
The Lancet, 2019 The ideal number of drugs needed and treatment duration are crucial issues in the management of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). Thus, we read with interest the Article by the Collaborative Group for the Meta-Analysis of Individual Patient Data in MDR-TB treatment–2017,1 the results of which support our proposal,2 from 2015, to classify anti ...

Multidrug resistance associated proteins in multidrug resistance [PDF]
Chinese Journal of Cancer, 2012 Multidrug resistance proteins (MRPs) are members of the C family of a group of proteins named ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. These ABC transporters together form the largest branch of proteins within the human body. The MRP family comprises of 13 members, of which MRP1 to MRP9 are the major transporters indicated to cause multidrug resistance

Multidrug Resistance in Fungi [PDF]
Eukaryotic Cell, 2007 One of the major advances serving to define the beginning of the era of modern medicine was the development of penicillin in the early 1940s as the first widely used antibiotic effective against microorganisms (reviewed in reference [111][1]). In what has become an all-too-common trend, antibiotic-

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, 2020 Objective. This study aimed to detect 5 kinds of genes related to plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance in four species of nonfermenting bacteria with 2 drug resistance phenotypes (multidrug resistance and pandrug resistance), which were Acinetobacter ...
