Pneumocystis carinii dihydropteroate synthase but not dihydrofolate reductase gene mutations correlate with prior trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole or dapsone use.

Abstract excerpt

Recent studies of the human Pneumocystis carinii dihydropteroate synthase (DHPS) gene suggest that P. carinii is developing resistance to sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and dapsone. To explore whether P. carinii is also developing resistance to trimethoprim (TMP), the human P. carinii dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) gene was cloned, DHFR and DHPS genes in 37 P. carinii isolates from 35 patients were sequenced, and the...
