Multi-drug Resistant

Researchers at the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) have identified a new variant of a multi-drug resistant bacterial gene in samples collected from sewage water discharge of a hospital in Murshidabad, West Bengal.

In a significant find in the global spread of multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria, scientists have found a "superbug" gene -- first detected in New Delhi over a decade back -- in one of the last "pristine" places on Earth that is some 12,870 km away

India already has one of the highest rates of drug resistance in the world, said the team, coupled with one of the highest antibiotic consumption rates.

New Delhi: About 8,000 patients pass through Dr Zarir F Udwadia’s busy clinic every year. The patients who are usually referred to him by colleagues from different parts of the country are difficult cases of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). An expert in drug-resistant tuberculosis and interstitial lung disease (ILD), Dr Udwadia is curr...

Prof Khan has now discovered new molecules effective against multi-drug resistant bacterial infections which will be used as an antibiotic drug.

Tuberculosis is one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide and India has the maximum number of cases of this deadly but curable and treatable disease. The World Health Organizations Global Tuberculosis Report in 2016 estimates that there are 79,000 cases of MDR-TB or Multi-Drug Resistance Tuberculosis. This is becoming a serious problem and a big ...

The rise of multi-drug resistant (MDR) and extensively drug resistant tuberculosis is threatening to outdo years of progress in controlling the disease.

WHO published the first-ever list of antibiotic-resistant "priority pathogens" that included 12 families of bacteria that pose the greatest threat to human health.

The Global Tuberculosis Report released by the World Health Organisation highlights the problem in India's battle with the disease. The results show that number of TB cases rose largely because researchers found that earlier estimates in India, from 2000-2015, were far too low.

A study based on a retrospective analysis of patient data at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in New Delhi has revealed a 12 per cent increase in the incidence of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) in India between 2000 and 2012. Nearly 15,000 patients were subject to mycobacterial culture during the study.

A recent WHO report has ranked India with having the highest number of tuberculosis (TB) cases in the world, Health Minister J P Nadda said today.

In the wake of multi-drug resistant (MDR)-TB cases increasing in India, Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan today launched India's first National Anti-Tuberculosis Drug Resistance Survey, 2014-2015.

Prefer spicy restaurant food over home-made delicacies? Get alarmed as hands of food preparers and chopping boards remain a source of transmission for multi-drug resistant bacteria such as E coli, a study warns. "The spread of multi-drug resistant bacteria...

US health authorities have approved a new medicine to fight multi-drug resistant TB, the first to be approved in the country in more than four decades.
