The Role of Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic ABC Transporter Family in Failure of Chemotherapy.

Over the years chemotherapy failure has been a vital research topic as researchers have been striving to discover reasons behind it. The extensive studies carried out on chemotherapeutic agents confirm that resistance to chemotherapy is a major reason for treatment failure. "Resistance to chemotherapy," however, is a comprehensive phrase that refers to a variety of different mechanisms in which ATP-binding cassette (ABC) mediated efflux dominates.

Interaction of Cryptosporidium hominis and Cryptosporidium parvum with primary human and bovine intestinal cells.

Cryptosporidiosis in humans is caused by the zoonotic pathogen Cryptosporidium parvum and the anthroponotic pathogen Cryptosporidium hominis. To what extent the recently recognized C. hominis species differs from C.

Host cell tropism underlies species restriction of human and bovine Cryptosporidium parvum genotypes.

It has been recognized recently that human cryptosporidiosis is usually caused by Cryptosporidium parvum genotype I ("human" C. parvum), which is not found in animals. Compared to C.
