Abstract
This study used a calibrated mathematical model to evaluate age-specific tuberculosis (TB) vaccination strategies, for drug-resistant (DR)-TB management in China. Prioritizing elderly vaccination significantly reduced multidrug-resistant or rifampicin-resistant TB incidence and mortality, while avoiding the need for second-line treatment, offering a promising approach to mitigate DR-TB burden by 2050.
期刊介绍:
Drug Resistance Updates serves as a platform for publishing original research, commentary, and expert reviews on significant advancements in drug resistance related to infectious diseases and cancer. It encompasses diverse disciplines such as molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, pharmacology, microbiology, preclinical therapeutics, oncology, and clinical medicine. The journal addresses both basic research and clinical aspects of drug resistance, providing insights into novel drugs and strategies to overcome resistance. Original research articles are welcomed, and review articles are authored by leaders in the field by invitation.
Articles are written by leaders in the field, in response to an invitation from the Editors, and are peer-reviewed prior to publication. Articles are clear, readable, and up-to-date, suitable for a multidisciplinary readership and include schematic diagrams and other illustrations conveying the major points of the article. The goal is to highlight recent areas of growth and put them in perspective.
*Expert reviews in clinical and basic drug resistance research in oncology and infectious disease
*Describes emerging technologies and therapies, particularly those that overcome drug resistance
*Emphasises common themes in microbial and cancer research
