متن کاملWorldwide Emergence of Extensively Drug-resistant Tuberculosis
Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains that are resistant to an increasing number of second-line drugs used to treat multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR TB) are becoming a threat to public health worldwide. We surveyed the Network of Supranational Reference Laboratories for M. tuberculosis isolates that were resistant to second-line anti-TB drugs during 2000-2004. We defined extensively drug-resi...

It is a consequence of theorems of Gordon–Reid [4] and Thompson [8] that a tunnel number one knot, if put in thin position, will also be in bridge position. We show that in such a thin presentation, the tunnel can be made level so that it lies in a level sphere. This settles a question raised by Morimoto [6], who showed that the (now known) classification of unknotting tunnels for 2–bridge knot...
متن کاملDrug-resistant tuberculosis: a worldwide epidemic poses a new challenge.
BACKGROUND Although the incidence of tuberculosis (TB) in Germany is now declining, the world as a whole faces the threat of a catastrophe that will also affect the industrialized nations. The main reason, aside from TB/HIV co-infection, is the increase of resistant TB strains. The situation is already serious because of the spread of multidrug-resistant TB, i.e., TB that is resistant to the tw...
متن کاملCONCISE COMMUNICATION Worldwide Incidence of Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis
Planning for tuberculosis (TB) control requires an assessment of the number and distribution of drug-resistant cases. This study used results of resistance surveys from 64 countries, together with data predictive of resistance rates from 72 others, to estimate the number of new multidrugresistant (MDR) TB cases that occurred in 2000. By these methods, an estimated 273,000 (95% confidence limits...
