...bitten or otherwise exposed, the victim should wash the wound immediately with soap and water and then get medical help. The rabies vaccination, first developed by Louis Pasteur in 1885, used to be an extremely painful series of 14 to 21 shots in the abdomen. In recent years, a much gentler but equally effective set of five shots in the arm has become available...
...modern medicine's disheartening setbacks has been the emergence of TB strains that are resistant to standard medication. In last week's Nature, researchers from Hammersmith Hospital in London and from the Pasteur Institute in Paris report they have uncovered the genetic reason behind this dangerous trend. They have discovered that common forms of the TB bacterium bear a gene that makes it susceptible to the antibiotic isoniazid -- a gene that is missing in drug-resistant strains. The finding could lead to improved diagnostic tests that will help doctors treat people with drug-resistant TB before they can pass...
...Amsterdam last week was not shared by the small, stocky Frenchman who is one of the leading pioneers of AIDS research. By rights, Dr. Luc Montagnier ought to be alarmed by the suggestion that AIDS might occur without the HIV virus. After all, it was his team at the Pasteur Institute nine years ago that first isolated the infectious agent known...
...Pasteur Institute is currently testing a promising new AIDS vaccine, but Montagnier travels around the world more and more these days, a much sought- after participant in international conferences. Whenever he returns to Paris, he goes back to his mycoplasmas -- feeling, as he puts it, "like a cat that has let the mice run free while it was away...
...long-running and unseemly dispute between Dr. Luc Montagnier of the Pasteur Institute in Paris and Dr. Robert Gallo of the NIH over who had first identified the AIDS virus raised public doubts about the motives and credibility of scientists. Those concerns remained when Gallo conceded that through inadvertent contamination, the virus he identified had been isolated from a sample sent him by the Frenchman. Last week the journal Science revealed that a draft of a forthcoming NIH report about the affair criticizes Gallo and accuses one of his colleagues of scientific misconduct...
