Tubercle
L P OrmerodP A Wright

Abstract

Drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis fell from 15.2% in 1980-1984 to 6.5% in 1985-89 in the Indian subcontinent (ISC) ethnic group and remained low in the white ethnic group. Resistance to isoniazid, which is of particular clinical significance, fell from 6.1% in 1980-84 to 2.7% in 1985-1989 in the ISC group. Factors which may affect this trend to reduction are discussed.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases (ASM)

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.

Antitubercular Agents
