conclusions although the patients carrying m204i mutation were more likely to show lack of responses to lam therapy, lam replacing by other nucleoside/tide analogs plus hbig maybe still effective in decreasing hepatitis b recurrence after liver transplantation. however, it is suggested that drug resistance test should be considered by clinicians during therapeutic management to avoid the follow...

Fusarium head blight (FHB) caused by Fusarium graminearum is a serious disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), through which grain quality losses are induced by fungal trichotecene mycotoxins such as deoxynivalenol (DON). A class of plasma membrane localized ABC transporter proteins related to the yeast PDR5 (pleiotropic drug resistance5) efflux pump seems to be responsible for partial resista...

Objective: Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) is a major cause of human salmonellosis globally. Food animals are NTS reservoirs. An increase in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) foodborne has led to clinical treatment failures. Here, examine the prevalence and perform characterization with AMR China, we tested susceptibility 1,256 isolates cultured from retail foods 2020 China. Methods: The 26 agents ...

BACKGROUND The transmission of drug-resistant human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is a matter of major concern, because it could compromise the response to antiretroviral therapy. MATERIAL AND METHODS From 1997 through 2003, genotypic drug resistance profiles in 89 patients with recent HIV-1 seroconversion were compared in a case-control study with HIV-1 genotypes obtained from 520 su...

Background and Purpose: Candida albicans (C. albicans) is an opportunistic fungus that can colonize women’s mucosal epithelial cell surfaces, causing vulvovaginitis in specific circumstances. The major genes contributing to drug resistance in C. albicans are the candida drug resistance (CDR) and multi drug resistance (MDR) genes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the CDR-2 and MDR...

conclusions resistance to oxacillin and other antibiotics was high, and most of the isolates were found to be multi-drug resistance (mdr). plasmid analysis of representative s. aureus isolates also demonstrates the presence of a wide range of plasmid sizes, with no consistent relationship between plasmid profiles and resistance phenotypes. regular surveillance of hospital infections and monitor...

conclusions the findings of the present study well demonstrated that the p. aeruginosa biofilm-producing isolates were more resistant to the tested antibiotics. furthermore, because of wide distribution, it seems that the psla gene is associated with biofilm formation. results biofilm formation was observed in 70% of the p. aeruginosa isolates. the potential formation of biofilm was significant...
