Measurably evolving pathogens in the genomic era.
Current sequencing technologies have created unprecedented opportunities for studying microbial populations. For pathogens with comparatively low per-site mutation rates, such as DNA viruses and bacteria, whole-genome sequencing can reveal the accumulation of novel genetic variation between population samples taken at different times. The concept of 'measurably evolving populations' and related...
متن کاملEarly diagnosis of resistant pathogens
Infections with organisms that are resistant to various anti-microbial agents pose a serious challenge to effective management of infections. Resistance to antimicrobial agents, which may be intrinsic or acquired, has been noted in a wide variety of microorganisms causing human infections. These include resistance to antiviral agents in HIV, HBV, CMV and influenza virus, anti-parasitic agents i...
متن کاملEvolving DPA-Resistant Boolean Functions
Boolean functions are important primitives in cryptography. Accordingly, there exist numerous works on the methods of constructions of Boolean functions. However, the property specifying the resistance of Boolean functions against Differential Power Analysis (DPA) attacks was until now scarcely investigated and only for S-boxes. Here, we evolve Boolean functions that have higher resistance to D...
متن کاملCalli Essential Oils Synergize with Lawsone against Multidrug Resistant Pathogens.
The fast development of multi-drug resistant (MDR) organisms increasingly threatens global health and well-being. Plant natural products have been known for centuries as alternative medicines that can possess pharmacological characteristics, including antimicrobial activities. The antimicrobial activities of essential oil (Calli oil) extracted from the Calligonum comosum plant by hydro-steam di...
متن کاملElectronic cigarettes and nicotine dependence: evolving products, evolving problems
Electronic cigarettes (ECIGs) use an electric heater to aerosolize a liquid that usually contains propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, flavorants, and the dependence-producing drug nicotine. ECIG-induced nicotine dependence has become an important concern, as some ECIGs deliver very little nicotine while some may exceed the nicotine delivery profile of a tobacco cigarette. This variability is ...
