The involvement of the multidrug resistance (MDR) mediated by ABC transporter proteins P-glycoprotein (Pgp) and multidrug resistance-associated protein-1 (MRP1) overexpressions in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) are not completely understood. Pgp and MRP1 expressions and activity were analyzed in samples from 158 patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Using flow cytometry, Pgp expression was more frequently observed in early chronic (P = 0.00) and in advanced (P = 0.02) CML phases when it was compared to MRP1 expression. Variation of MDR expression and activity were observed during the CML evolution in patients previously treated with interferon and imatinib. In the K562-Lucena cell line, Pgp positive, imatinib caused an enhancing in Pgp expression at protein and mRNA levels, whereas in the Pgp negative cell line, this drug was capable of decreasing MDR1/Pgp mRNA levels. Our result emphasizes the importance of understanding the different aspects of MDR status in patients with CML when they are under investigation in determining imatinib resistance.

Background And Objectives: Bedaquiline (BDQ) plays a critical role in the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). However, the large pharmacokinetic (PK) variability of BDQ presents a significant challenge in its clinical use. This study aimed to summarize the population PK characteristics of BDQ and to identify significant covariates affecting the PK variation of BDQ.

Multi-drug resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii causes nosocomial infections due to a plethora of virulence determinants like biofilm formation which are pivotal to its survival and pathogenicity. Hence, investigation of these mechanisms in currently circulating strains is required for effective infection control and drug development. This study investigates the prevalence of antibiotic resistance and virulence factors and their relationship with biofilm formation in Acinetobacter baumannii strains in Karachi, Pakistan.

The soil salinity and alkalinity play an important role in the occurrence and proliferation of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Yet, little is known the underlying mechanism by which soil salinity and alkalinity affect antibiotic resistance evolution. Here we investigated the ARGs variation in soil salinity and alkalinity environments created by different fertilization, and explored the biological mechanisms that salinity and alkalinity alter the evolutionary paradigm of antibiotic resistance.
