The 'dried blood spot' technique offers additional advantages, providing the rationale for discussions regarding a possible future network of selected, quality-controlled reference laboratories for the processing of dried blood spots of difficult-to-treat patients from reference TB clinics around the ...
We found that two of the scarce historical MDR cases were infected by EG-MDR. WGS revealed low variability—six single nucleotide polymorphisms acquired by this strain over 15 years—likely because of the lack of a national program to treat MDR-TB. Our novel strategy, which integrated WGS ...
When this medicine was grantedaccelerated approvalby the FDA in 2012, it was the first novel medicine to treat TB in more than 40 years. To date, as part of its commitment to distribute the drug to those most in need over the past eight years, the company has provided more than 320,00...
Why does Tuberculosis take 6-9 months or maybe even longer in order to completely cure it? Think about how antibiotic resistance to Rifampin (an antibiotic used to treat TB) evolves. Then, put the following steps in order; note that not all of the steps may be involved in the...
Our old enemy TB is on the prowl too, with a new strain which is classed MDR (multiple-drug resistant). In Germany in the summer of 2011a deadly new strain of E. Coli emerged, that is highly resistant to antibiotics and killed hundreds in Europe on it's unstoppable rampage. ...
What are the impacts of human to the environment? Why is bipolar disorder present differently in people of different cultures? Why is there a difference in mortality rates between males and females in the United States? What are MDR-TB and ...
The current TB drugsisoniazid (INH) and ethionamide (ETH)kill mycobacteria via direct conversion to free radicals that may contribute to the formation of MDR M. tuberculosis strains. Why do mycobacterium infection have to be treated for 6+ months?
i think that if its legal in your area, give it a shot once and see how it affects you. i honestly dont think you can truly have an opinion on something until you've experienced it. treat it like alcohol and dont abuse it, and you wont go wrong. ...
TB has metamorphosed into multidrug resistant (MDR), Extensive drug resistant (XDR), and Total drug resistant (TDR). Its partnership with HIV has made it most infectious especially with Bovine TB. The new TB strings are difficult to treat with routine medications. The vulnerability of human ...
