简介:Multidrug抵抗(MDR)是在癌症化疗的一个主要问题。MDR的最好已知的机制之一是ATP有约束力的盒子(ABC)的提高的表示运输ers。当人的ABC运输ers的一些成员被显示了与提高的表示引起抗药性时,另外的成员的在表示上是否能也在许多模型癌症房间线和诊所贡献抗药性,还没被知道。为介绍ABCtransporters的分析的表示的微数组和量的PCR数组的最近的开发帮助了处理这些问题。在这篇文章,有在在抗药性和chemo敏感预言识别ABCtransporter基因的ABCtransporter基因和他们的使用的有限或完整的表的各种各样的数组将被考察。

简介:AbstractThe low success rates in the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB), which account for 55% and 34% respectively, led the WHO to conclude that MDR/XDR-TB is a serious public health crisis. However, the virulence of MDR/XDR-Mycobacterium Tuberculosis(Mtb) has not been analyzed in details, which could provide a specific guidance for the control and prevention. In this review, we discuss different aspects of MDR/XDR-Mtb virulence and its relationship to fitness cost by probing the following questions: (1) what mediates the virulence of MDR/XDR-Mtb? (What is the relationship between fitness and virulence of Mtb? (2) Is it possible that drug-resistant Mtb(DR Mtb) can show higher fitness? (3) What is the definite effect on fitness of each drug-resistant mutant? (4) What other important factors affecting fitness in the mutant strain? (5) How to study the virulence of a large number of DR Mtb?And what prevention and control measures will be taken in the future, especially for the high virulent DR Mtb? We therefore summarized the congruent relationship between drug resistance and fitness from the global response-related genes to antibiotic resistance-contributing mutation, provided methods to explore the virulence of DR Mtb. This review may offer some critical information and concise guide to creating strategies for the prevention and control of drug-resistant Mtb.
