Drug-resistance mechanisms and tuberculosis drugs
(Elsevier, 2015)
Bedaquiline and delamanid, novel classes of anti-tuberculosis drugs, have been recently approved for the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. Antimicrobial resistance invariably follows the introduction of new ...
Natural Polymorphisms in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Conferring Resistance to Delamanid in Drug-Naive Patients
(American Society for Microbiology, 2020)
Mutations in the genes of the F420 signaling pathway of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, including dnn, fgd1, fbiA, fbiB, fbiC, and fbiD, can lead to delamanid resistance. We searched for such mutations among 129 M. ...
Treatment failure in leishmaniasis: Drug-resistance or another (epi-) phenotype?
(Taylor and Francis, 2014)
Two major leishmaniasis treatments have shown a significant decrease in effectiveness in the last few decades, mostly in the Indian subcontinent but also in other endemic areas. Drug resistance of Leishmania correlated ...
Association of the Endobiont Double-Stranded RNA Virus LRV1 With Treatment Failure for Human Leishmaniasis Caused by Leishmania braziliensis in Peru and Bolivia
(Oxford University Press, 2015)
Cutaneous and mucosal leishmaniasis, caused in South America by Leishmania braziliensis, is difficult to cure by chemotherapy (primarily pentavalent antimonials [Sb(V)]). Treatment failure does not correlate well with ...
MRSA infections: from classical treatment to suicide drugs
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2014-02)
Infections caused by the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are today a major burden in nosocomial disease control. The global trend shows an alarming increase of MRSA infections as well as multi-drug ...
FIND Tuberculosis Strain Bank: a Resource for Researchers and Developers Working on Tests To Detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Related Drug Resistance
(American Society for Microbiology, 2017)
The spread of multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis (TB) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) TB hampers global efforts in the fight against tuberculosis. To enhance the development and evaluation of diagnostic tests ...
