Diarrhoeagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) are an important cause of diarrhoea in children and are associated with high antibiotic resistance. However, there are few studies on the molecular mechanisms of resistance in this ...

Different genes might be involved in Colletotrichum lindemuthianum resistance in leaves and stem of common bean. This work aimed to study the genetic mechanisms of the resistance in the leaf and stem in segregating populations ...

Since the first outbreak of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) described in Uruguay in 2003, 1 cases have been reported from other Latin American countries such as Argentina, Chile, ...

Background: Malaria continues being a public health problem worldwide. Plasmodium vivax is the species causing the largest number of cases of malaria in Asia and South America. Due to the lack of a completely effective ...

Salmonella spp. isolates obtained from healthy swine in 2008 were analyzed for antibiotic resistance phenotypes and genotypes. The resistance profiles of the 2008 isolates were compared with those of a Salmonella collection ...

Objectives: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections are of worldwide concern. The present study describes the antimicrobial resistance and molecular typing of methicillin-resistant and methicillin-susceptible ...

BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis (TB) is a major global health problem and drug resistance compromises the efforts to control this disease. Pyrazinamide (PZA) is an important drug used in both first and second line treatment ...
