BACKGROUND Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is posing a great threat to global TB control. The burden in Zambia is not well defined because routine surveillance data are scarce. We reviewed national MDR-TB data for the last decade to inform future public health policy with respect to MDR-TB in Zambia. METHOD Retrospective review of national surveillance of MDR-TB data, TB programme a...

Salmonella enterica serotypes are one of the most important food borne pathogens and significant public health concerns around the world in humans and other animal species. A total of eighty three epidemiologically unrelated clinical isolates of Salmonella enterica serovars were subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Eleven isolates (13.1%) which were resistant to at least 4 groups ...

Penggunaan berbagai macam antibiotik menyebabkan kejadian resistensi cepat berkembang. Acinetobacter baumannii dan Pseudomonas aeruginosa adalah bakteri multidrug resisten yang sering dikaitkan dengan terjadinya kegagalan terapi. Berbagai negara menggunakan herbal sebagai pengobatan alternatif penyakit infeksi. Studi sebelumnya menunjukkan aktivitas antibakteri dimiliki Hibiscus sabdariffa (ros...

Chemoresistance is one of the main obstacles to successful cancer therapy and is frequently associated with multidrug resistance (MDR). One of the most studied mechanisms of MDR is the high expression of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. Here, we demonstrated that NP-1250, an ABCG2 inhibitor, induced apoptotic cell death in ABCG2-overexpres...

A marked increase in the number of multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis (TB) cases entirely related to patients born in the Former Soviet Union was observed in France in the last two years. Very few cases were clustered, suggesting it is a consequence of recent immigration of patients already infected in their country of origin. This major increase challenges the existing structures for manag...

Abstract. Riwu KHP, Rantam FA, Effendi MH, Khairullah AR, Widodo A, Kurniawan SC, Ugbo EN. 2022. Molecular detection of extended spectrum ?-lactamase producing Klebsiella pneumoniae from wild deer. Biodiversitas 23: 4256-4262. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become a severe threat worldwide and its remote cause remains unclear in most parts due to the global emergence new mechanisms by micro...

Objective(s): Plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) determinants and integrons have a considerable contribution to bacterial drug resistance in Gram-negative pathogens. We studied the prevalence of PMQR genes and integron carriage in multidrug-resistant community isolates of Klebsiella spp.Materials and Methods: Two hundred and fi...

Background The emerging multidrug resistant (MDR) and extensively drug resistant (XDR) Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection is increasing with greater complexity, estimated 220000-400000 tuberculosis cases emerged in 2011 globally. A number of lead compounds have been developed for treatment of MDR and XDR TB, but no new chemical entity has emerged for clinical use. Recently DprE1 and AHA...

OBJECTIVES To report perinatal transmission of multidrug resistant (MDR) HIV related to variable maternal adherence antenatally. METHODS Case study including review of clinic records, adherence information, laboratory data, and HIV genotyping results in mother and infant. RESULTS Poor maternal adherence to clinic visits and antiretroviral therapy contributed to detectable viraemia antenatal...
