Detection of A2058G and A2059G on the 23S rRNA Gene by Multiplex Nested PCR to Identify Treponema pallidum Resistance to Azithromycin in Indonesia.

Azithromycin is an antibiotic used to treat syphilis, especially in the context of penicillin allergy. Although resistance to azithromycin has been widely reported to be associated with one- and/or two-point mutations on the 23S rRNA gene, it has yet to be described in Indonesia. Specimens were collected from 220 patients diagnosed with secondary syphilis.

A phase III, observer-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study of the efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 inactivated vaccine in healthy adults aged 18-59 years: An interim analysis in Indonesia.

Background: The WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic on March 11th, 2020. This serious outbreak and the precipitously increasing numbers of deaths worldwide necessitated the urgent need to develop an effective severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine. The development of COVID-19 vaccines has moved quickly.

High Proportion of Oxacillin-Susceptible -Positive Isolates from Post-Viral Acute Rhinosinusitis Patients.

<b>Background and Objective:</b> Detection of methicillin-resistant<i> S. aureus</i> have become a challenge in the presence of oxacillin-susceptible and <i>mecA</i>-positive <i>S. aureus </i>(OS-MRSA), concerning the misidentification events and therapeutic implications.

Phylogeny and In Silico Structure Analysis of Major Capsid Protein (L1) Human Papillomavirus 45 from Indonesian Isolates.

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV)-45 genotype circulates in high percentage in Bandung area - Indonesia, after HPV-16 and HPV-18. The aim of this study was to analyse variations of major capsid (L1) HPV-45 and its phylogeny. Furthermore in silico protein structure and epitope prediction was explored.

Antimicrobial susceptibilities of Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains isolated in Java, Indonesia.

Background: Despite the rapid spread of antibiotic resistance in gonococci all over Southeast Asia, there is only limited surveillance for antibiotic susceptibility in Indonesia.

Goal: This study was undertaken to determine the frequency and diversity of antimicrobial resistance in gonococcal isolates from cohorts of female commercial sex workers in Bandung and Jakarta, Indonesia, and to characterize the Tet M plasmid among the tetracycline-resistant strains N gonorrhoeae.

Study Design: The antimicrobial susceptibility of 267 strains (85 strains from Bandung and 182 from Jakarta) to penicillin, spectinomycin, tetracycline, ciprofloxacin, cefotaxime, thiamphenicol, kanamycin, azithromycin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMZ) was determined by agar dilution.
