Pyrazinamide may improve fluoroquinolone-based treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.

abstract：:One of the major neglected tropical diseases, schistosomiasis, is currently treated and controlled with a single drug, praziquantel. The quest for an alternative drug is fueled by the lack of activity of praziquantel against juvenile Schistosoma worms and the fear of emerging resistance. The synthetic ozonide OZ418 ha...
