Ref.: (LML) Surveillance of AMR in Leprosy
From: VV Pai, Mumbai, India
Dear Dr Schreuder and colleagues,
With reference to an email from Dr Rathnayake from Sri Lanka dated 30-6-2020 which I received from Dr Schreuder on 3-7-2020 regarding the plans for surveillance for AMR (anti-microbial resistance) in Sri Lanka. It is very much pertinent that research on the current scenario of drug resistance in Sri Lanka will be important and beneficial for the global surveillance programme. We have been working on projects involving field surveys and lab investigations in Mumbai.
As required find attached some key publications on this work involving the methodology of detection of gene mutations using molecular techniques. However, there are no primers available to detect mutations due to Clofazimine. Also find attached templates/links for questionnaires, consent forms, assent forms, Ethical Requisition letters. (Note editor: most of the mentioned files were not accepted by Google Group for transmission – see references).
We hope this will help in planning your proposed research work and we will be glad to help on further queries and looking forward in future endeavours.
