Difference between Antimalarial medication and Multiple drug resistance

Antimalarial medication vs. Multiple drug resistance

Antimalarial medications, also known as antimalarials, are designed to prevent or cure malaria. Multiple drug resistance (MDR), multidrug resistance or multiresistance is antimicrobial resistance shown by a species of microorganism to multiple antimicrobial drugs.

Similarities between Antimalarial medication and Multiple drug resistance

Antimalarial medication and Multiple drug resistance have 11 things in common (in Unionpedia): Artemisinin, Atovaquone, Chloroquine, DNA, Drug resistance, Malaria, Mutation, Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Public health, Sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine.
