Fluoroquinolone Resistance in Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis, Kharkiv, Ukraine, 2019-2023
Emerging Infectious Diseases
|March 2, 2025
Abstract:
Rifampin-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis was identified by the World Health Organization as a pathogen of public health critical importance. During 2014-2023, an increase in fluoroquinolone resistance in rifampin-resistant M. tuberculosis from Kharkiv, Ukraine, was observed. Efforts to mitigate factors contributing to resistance should be prioritized to prevent further escalation of that threat.

Medical management of tuberculosis (TB) patients involves a comprehensive approach that includes diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring. The specific strategies can vary depending on the type of tuberculosis (latent or active), the patient's overall health status, and other considerations.
Latent tuberculosis infection occurs when TB bacteria are present in a person's body, but are not causing illness or symptoms. It is not contagious, and preventive treatment is crucial to avoid the...

Genomic DNA in Prokaryotes

The genome of most prokaryotic organisms consists of double-stranded DNA organized into one circular chromosome in a region of cytoplasm called the nucleoid. The chromosome is tightly wound, or supercoiled, for efficient storage. Prokaryotes also contain other circular pieces of DNA called plasmids. These plasmids are smaller than the chromosome and often carry genes that confer adaptive functions, such as antibiotic resistance.
