Resistance to novel drug classes

Resistance to novel drug classes.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Understanding the mechanisms that underlie resistance development to novel drugs is essential to a better clinical management of resistant viruses and to prevent further resistance development and spread. RECENT FINDINGS Integrase inhibitors and CCR5 antagonists are the more recent antiretroviral classes developed. The HIV-1 integrase, responsible for the chromosomal integra...

Persistence to antihypertensive drug classes

The aim was to study persistence to, and switching between, antihypertensive drug classes and to determine factors associated with poor persistence.This was an observational cohort study. The Swedish Primary Care Cardiovascular Database includes data from medical records, socioeconomic data, filled prescriptions, and hospitalizations from national registries for 75,000 patients with hypertensio...

Differential persistence of transmitted HIV-1 drug resistance mutation classes.

BACKGROUND Transmitted human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) drug resistance (TDR) mutations can become replaced over time by emerging wild-type viral variants with improved fitness. The impact of class-specific mutations on this rate of mutation replacement is uncertain. METHODS We studied participants with acute and/or early HIV infection and TDR in 2 cohorts (San Francisco, Californi...

Drug Resistance

عفونت و تهاجم ارگانیسم های انگلی به بدن، عامل اصلی بیماری و مرگ انسانها از آغاز بشریت بوده است . در حقیقت بسیاری از اشکال حیات بدون غلبه بر ارگانیسم های زنده دیگر، قادر به ادامه زندگی نخواهند بود. انسانها معمولا مستعد تهاجم ارگانیسم های کوچکتری مانند کرمها، آمیب ها، قارچها، باکتریها و ویروسها هستند. این عوامل مکان خاصی را در بدن انتخاب کرده، مواد ضروری لازم برای حیات و تکثیر خود را دریافت نموده...
