Mechanisms of Linezolid Resistance in Mycobacteria.

Mycobacteria form some of the most notorious and difficult-to-treat bacterial pathogens. As a group, they are intrinsically resistant to many commonly used antibiotics, such as tetracyclines and beta-lactams. In addition to intrinsic resistances, acquired multidrug resistance has also been observed and documented in (MTB) and non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM).

The prevalence and characteristics of complementary medicine use by Australian and American adults living with gastrointestinal disorders: A systematic review.

Aim: To report the prevalence and sociodemographic characteristics of complementary medicine (CM) use by Australian and American adults living with gastrointestinal (GI) disorders.

Method: Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Embase, Medline, Pubmed, Scopus and Web of Science were searched for studies published in English language between 1 January 2008 and 8 April 2018. Additionally, a Google Scholar search and risk of bias assessment were conducted.
