  5. 24. Molecular characterisation of antibiotic resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

    Författare :Pontus Juréen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : To counteract the emergence of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) a number of approaches have been proposed, amongst which are the sound usage of the present anti-TB drugs and the development of prompt and specific tools for the diagnosis of resistance. To examine the role of drugs in the treatment of resistant TB, we investigated the general crossresistance between kanamycin and amikacin, which has been reported in numerous studies. LÄS MER
