Efficacy of a loading dose of oral chloroquine in a 36-hour treatment schedule for uncomplicated plasmodium falciparum malaria.

abstract：:Ethambutol (EMB) plays a pivotal role in the chemotherapy of drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB), including multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). Resistance to EMB is considered to be caused by mutations in the embCAB operon (embC, embA, and embB). In this study, we analyzed the embCAB mutations among 139 MDR-TB iso...
