To explore if combinations of linezolid (L) with rifampicin (R) are able to restrict Staphylococcus aureus resistance, the enrichment of L- and R-resistant mutants was studied in an in vitro dynamic model. L- and R-resistant mutants were enriched in all single drug treatments. In contrast, L-resistant mutants were not enriched and R-resistant mutants were similar to baseline amounts with only minimal regrowth at the end of the combination treatments. These effects appear to be explained by lowering the mutant prevention concentration (MPC) for L+R combinations (MPC) compared to the MPCs of L and R alone (MPC and MPC) and thereby the longer times above MPC (73-100% of the dosing interval for L and 42-58% for R) compared to the times above MPC (0-44%) and MPC (0%). These findings provide an opportunity to predict the selection of S. aureus resistance in L+R treatments using MPCs.

Background: Malaria vectors have developed resistance to the four families of insecticides available for public health purposes. For example, the kdr mutation is associated with organochlorines and pyrethroids resistance. It is of particular concern that organophosphate and carbamate resistance associated with the G119S ace-1 (R) mutation has recently increased in West Africa in extent and frequency, and is now spreading through the Anopheles gambiae malaria vector population.

Identification of genetic markers involved in stress response to physical factors or chemical substances in organisms is a challenging task. Typing of upregulated gene expression due to selective antibacterial pressure is a promising approach in the search of molecular mechanisms responsible for development of resistance. cDNA-Fluorescent Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (cDNA-FAFLP) strategy was developed and applied in the search of antimycotic drug resistance marker(s) in medically important fungi as an alternative method to microarray analysis.

Factor V Leiden and prothrombin G20210A are related genetic risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Analysis for both mutations is increasingly being performed on patients exhibiting hypercoagulability. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of factor V Leiden (FVL), prothrombin-G20210A (PT-G20210A) polymorphisms and their coexistence among apparently healthy Jordanians.
