Phenotyping of cytomegalovirus drug resistance mutations by using recombinant viruses incorporating a reporter gene.

abstract：:Initial studies indicate that rifampin may be useful for the treatment of Staphylococcus aureus infections. Because bacterial resistance to rifampin may develop rapidly, its widespread use could result in the emergence of a resistant flora. This study evaluates the effectiveness of rifampin in reducing the nasal carri...
