Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence and factors influencing self-medication with antibiotics (SMA) among indigenous people in Bangladesh's Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT), highlighting its contribution to antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
- Utilizing a cross-sectional design, researchers surveyed 1,336 participants aged 18 and older from various indigenous groups, focusing on their antibiotic usage, socio-demographic characteristics, and health knowledge.
- Results indicated that more males reported SMA compared to females, with higher rates among individuals with lower education and income levels; key factors influencing knowledge of antibiotic use included education, income, chronic illness, and location.
Males of the Drosophila melanogaster mutant croaker (cro) generate a polycyclic pulse song dissimilar to the monocyclic songs typical of wild-type males during courtship. However, cro has not been molecularly mapped to any gene in the genome. We demonstrate that cro is a mutation in the gene encoding the Calmodulin-binding transcription factor (Camta) by genetic complementation tests with chromosomal deficiencies, molecular cloning of genomic fragments that flank the cro-mutagenic P-insertion, and phenotypic rescue of the cro mutant phenotype by Camta+-encoding cDNA as well as a BAC clone containing the gene for Camta.
