Emergence of rifampin-resistant Haemophilus influenzae.

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy

Abstract

Rifampin susceptibility of nasopharyngeal Haemophilus influenzae strains was determined before and after community-wide chemoprophylaxis with rifampin (children) and sequential minocycline-rifampin (adults). All strains were rifampin susceptible before prophylaxis, but 10.3% of the strains at 1 week and 7.5% of the strains at 9 weeks after prophylaxis were rifampin resistant.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases

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.

CRISPR Screens in Drug Resistance

CRISPR-Cas system enables the editing of genes to create or correct mutations. This feed focuses on the application of CRISPR-Cas system in high-throughput genome-wide screens to identify genes that may confer drug resistance.

Antifungals

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

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