Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Xiuqin Yuan"
- Xiuqin Yuan's recent research primarily focuses on the epidemiology and drug resistance characteristics of various forms of tuberculosis (TB) in South-Central China, specifically osteoarticular and lymph node tuberculosis, as well as extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
- The studies reveal concerning trends in drug resistance, suggesting a significant prevalence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), which could hinder effective treatment and control measures in the region.
- Additionally, Yuan's research includes genetic studies exploring the association between genetic polymorphisms and tuberculosis susceptibility, contributing to the understanding of host-pathogen interactions and potential implications for treatment strategies.
