2. Molecular characterisation of antibiotic resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Abstract : To counteract the emergence of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) a number of approaches have been proposed, amongst which are the sound usage of the present anti-TB drugs and the development of prompt and specific tools for the diagnosis of resistance. To examine the role of drugs in the treatment of resistant TB, we investigated the general crossresistance between kanamycin and amikacin, which has been reported in numerous studies. READ MORE

5. Rapid detection of drug resistance and genetic characterisation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates in Honduras
Abstract : Background: New challenges for tuberculosis (TB) control are emerging in the 21st century. The deadly combination TB/HIV as well as the development and spread of new forms of drug resistance are some examples. In this context, the timely detection of TB cases, especially of those with resistant TB is important. READ MORE
