What is a genotypic drug resistance test?
Genotypic testing can help determine whether specific gene mutations, common in people with HIV, are causing drug resistance and drug failure. The test looks for specific genetic mutations within the virus that.
Is drug resistance carried on a plasmid?
Yes, drug resistance genes can be carried on plasmids, which are small, circular DNA molecules found in bacteria. Plasmids can be easily transferred between bacteria, spreading drug resistance within a population. This transfer of plasmids contributes to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains.

When was Drug Abuse Resistance Education created?
Drug Abuse Resistance Education was created in 1983.
Drug resistance occurs when?
Drug-resistant yeast infections, as the name implies, are yeast infections that have reached a stage where the infection, or the rather the cause of it, has managed to build-up a resistance to the drug-based medication(s) being used at the time.
When do drug resistance mutations occur in bacteria?
It depends on what kind of bacteria you're dealing with. Some reproduce really quickly, like within 12 hours they already reach the 3rd or 4th generation, then drug resistance mutation is high for this type of bacteria. Basically it all boils down to this: the faster the bacteria multiplies, the quicker it gains immunity from drugs, because with each generation that is produced, there is more and more resistance to the drug.
What has the author Ethan G Verrite written?

By what protozoans is malaria caused by?
Yes, malaria is caused by protozoa, namely Plasmodium species. There are 5 Plasmodium species that can cause human infections: P. falciparum, P. vivax and ovale, P. malariae, P. knowlesi. P. falciparum can invade red blood cells of all ages, may also be drug-resistant and is responsible for most severe and life-threatening malignant tertian malaria.
Why do bacterial infections keep appearing?
drug resistance
Is chloroquine a vaccine for malaria?
There is no vaccine for malaria but chloroquine is a drug of choice for suppression and therapeutic treatment of Plasmodium infection, followed by primaquine for radical care and elimination of gametocytes. Chloroquine-resistant forms of Plasmodium can be treated with mefloquine +/- artesunate, artemisinin, quinine, pyrimethane-sulfadoxine (Fansidar) and doxycycline. All of these antimalarials are only used for chemoprophylaxis and not as a vaccine. All in all, you can prevent infection with Plasmodium by using those antimalarials.
