- Mechanisms of ResistanceAssociations between Aminoquinoline Resistance Genotypes and Clinical Presentations of Plasmodium falciparum Infection in Uganda
Mutations that mediate resistance of Plasmodium falciparum to aminoquinoline antimalarials are selected by prior drug use and may alter parasite fitness, but associations with clinical presentations are uncertain. We evaluated genotypes in samples from a case-control study of determinants of severe malaria in Ugandan children 4 months to 10 years of age. We studied...
- Epidemiology and SurveillanceDecreased Incidence of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia in Intensive Care Units: a 10-Year Clinical, Microbiological, and Genotypic Analysis in a Tertiary Hospital
There are limited long-term data on the trends in incidence and characteristics of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia (MRSAB) in intensive care units (ICUs) in which infection control measures have been adopted. We evaluated the trend of incidence and changes in characteristics of MRSA bacteremia in ICUs at a tertiary-care hospital over 10 ...
- Clinical TherapeuticsMolecular Testing of Serial Blood Specimens from Patients with Early Lyme Disease during Treatment Reveals Changing Coinfection with Mixtures of Borrelia burgdorferi Genotypes
Borrelia burgdorferi is the etiological agent of Lyme disease. In the current study, we used direct-detection PCR and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry to monitor and genotype B. burgdorferi isolates from serially collected whole-blood specimens from patients clinically diagnosed with early...
- Epidemiology and SurveillanceMutation Profile of pfdhfr and pfdhps in Plasmodium falciparum among Returned Chinese Migrant Workers from Africa
We evaluated markers of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) resistance in Plasmodium falciparum among 254 returned migrant workers in China from Africa from 2013 to 2016. High prevalences of pfdhfr (97.2%) and pfdhps (96.5%) mutations were observed.
- Editor's Pick Mechanisms of ResistanceGenetic Correlation of Antibiotic Susceptibility and Resistance Genotyping for the Mycobacterium abscessus Group
Treatment efficacy of Mycobacterium abscessus infections depends on bacterial genotype. Here, the relationship between genotype, as determined by sequence analysis, and antibiotic resistance phenotype was analyzed.
