Emergence of Adefovir-resistant Mutants after Reversion to YMDD Wild-type in Lamivudine-resistant Patients
… dipivoxil (ADV) has been applied for the LAM-resistant patients, and it has shown to be effective against both wild-type and LAM-resistant forms of HBV. A pilot study in patients with LAM resistance showed no differences in HBV DNA suppression and serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) …

Certain biological comparisons of resistant and non-resistant strains of the German cockroach, Blattella Germanica (Linnaeus)
Strains of the German cockroach resistant to lindane, chlordane, and DDT were compared with a normal strain as to incubation period of eggs, developmental period of nymphs, and longevity of adults. The resistant strains were more heterogeneous than the normal, with the exceptions of the …

Characterization of metronidazole resistant Helicobacter pylori
The high prevalence of metronidazole resistant Helicobacter pylori (MtzR- Hp ) in relation to gastroduodenal disease is of concern. The study shows that MtzR- Hp is significantly higher in non-ulcer dyspepsia patients ( p = 0.005), expresses lower Le b ( p = 0.0365) and babA2 ( p = 0.03). RAPD …
