ß-lactam antibiotics resistance in Latin American countries

Deforestation and credit instability in Latin American countries Deforestation and credit instability in Latin American countries

This paper highlights the link between deforestation and credit instability in Latin American countries which exhibit strong deforestation rates as well as macroeconomic instability that is often rooted in the alternating episodes of credit booms and crunches. Pieces of explanation establishing a causal link between credit instability and deforestation driven by agricultural expansion are put f...

Income Convergence toward USA: New Evidences for Latin and South American Countries

Abstract In this paper we test two versions of convergence hypothesis namely deterministic or conditional convergence and stochastic or catching up hypothesis using Carrion-i-Silvestre et al. (2005) stationary test. The results show Latin and South American countries (LSA) catching up process toward the USA failed in 1980s and somewhat in 1990s. But in 2000s most of them could lie in converge...

Involvement of multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (Abcc2) in molecular weight-dependent biliary excretion of ß-lactam antibiotics

Lactam Antibiotics

A novel endopeptidase degrading the pel)tide cross-links in sacculi has been isolated from Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity. I'lhe enzyme has a molecular weight of 30,000 and, in contrast to already known enzymes of similar specificity, remains fully active in the presence of/3-lactam antibiotics. In adldition, it is exceptional in being inhibited by single-strandetl tleoxyribonucle...
