Short CommunicationsOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Testing for Respiratory Tract Infections May Have Favorable Impact on Real-world Healthcare CostsAzia Evans, Vijay Singh, Pallavi Upadhyay et al.Molecular testing by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) has improved diagnostic performance to inform appropriate treatment. However, its impact on healthcare utilization and costs related to respiratory tract infections are yet to be studied in detail. The aim of this study is to evaluate the costs of healthcare utilization following traditional culture and molecular PCR diagnostic testing for respiratory tract infections. … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 20, Issue 3 · 15 Jan 2025 · 5,262 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of the Utility of MPT64, Drug Susceptibility Testing and Tuberculosis/Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction for Tuberculosis Diagnosis and Efficiency Compared with Traditional CultureHo Keun Choi, Ga Yeon Kim, Tae Soung Kim, Jae Kyung KimDefining the molecular mechanisms underlying the dormant state of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is essential for developing more effective treatments for tuberculosis (TB) infection. We investigated the positivity and resistance rates of TB tests on 6,174 samples referred to a single hospital. Of these, 342 cases (5.5%) were confirmed as positive by acid-fast bacilli staining, 243 cases (71.1%) were detected as … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 5 Dec 2024 · 4,206 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Cross-Sectional Study of the Prevalence of Hepatitis C Virus InfectionOmar Atrooz, Rehab Thunibat, Ihssan AtroozLiver pain is increased by hepatotropic viruses, such as the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV). This illness can progress to cirrhosis and hepatocellular cancer. This study aims to determine the prevalence of hepatitis C in the Southern Jordanian cities (Karak and Tafilah) as well as the correlations between alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), age and gender in hepatitis C patients. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 5 Jul 2024 · 4,414 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResistance to Antibacterial Agents in Escherichia coli Isolated from Domestic Cats and Dogs in the Northern Region of the Republic of KazakhstanAnara Yeleussizova, Yuliya Aleshina, Anara Mendybayeva et al.The widespread use of antimicrobial agents for pets in veterinary practice has led to the emergence and spread of drug resistance not only in pathogenic but also in opportunistic bacteria. The study aims to evaluate the profile of resistance to antibacterial agents in Escherichia coli strains isolated from domestic cats and dogs, as well as to look into the determinants … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 3 · 2 Aug 2023 · 5,525 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFrequencies of the C1236T, G2677T/A, and C3435T Polymorphisms of the MDR1 Gene and their Haplotypes in UzbekistanS. B. Nurmatova, A. A. Abdurakhimov, O. S. Charishnikova et al.P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is encoded by the MDR1 gene and is involved in the pharmacokinetics of drugs. The best-known MDR1 gene polymorphisms are 1236C>T, 3435C>T, and 2677G>T/A, which are associated with protein folding, changes in mRNA levels, and drug pharmacokinetics. The aim of this study was to identify the frequency of distribution of functional polymorphisms C1236T, C3435T, G2677T/A of the MDR1 … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 4 · 5 Dec 2022 · 5,022 accessesView PDFCite
