Primary antibiotic resistance and its relationship with cagA and vacA genes in Helicobacter pylori isolates from Algerian patients

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (3), 2018
Abstract The epidemiology of Helicobacter pylori resistance to antibiotics is poorly documented in Africa and especially in Algeria. The aim of our study was to determine the antibiotic resistance rates, as well as its possible relationship with VacA and CagA virulence markers of isolates from Algerian p...

Actividad comparativa in vitro de eritromicina, azitromicina, claritromicina, roxitromicina, ciprofloxacina y amoxicilina frente a neisseria gonorroeae
In vitro comparative activity of erythromycin, azythromycin, clarithromycin, roxithromycin, ciprofloxacin and amoxicillin against neisseria gonorrhoeae

Rev. chil. infectol; 12 (3), 1995
El tratamiento antimicrobiano de las enfermedades por transmisión sexual debe ser combinado ya que coexiste más de un agente microbiano. Los nuevos macrólidos azálicos podrían ser activos frente a la mayoría de los agentes y resolver el problema con un solo antimicrobiano. Se estudiaron 100 cepas d...
