Newly discovered 14th-century polyphony in Oxford

Battling 21st-Century Scourges with a 14th-Century Toolbox1

β-lactam drugs, had pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) profiles that differed from typical healthcare-associated MRSA, and contained the Panton-Valentine leukocidin toxin. Prospective surveillance for MRSA in Minnesota at 12 sentinel hospitals (6 in metropolitan areas and 6 in rural areas) indicated that community-associated MRSA patients were significantly younger than healthcare-associat...

Newly discovered antiterminator RNAs in bacteriophage.

Antiterminator RNA directly modifies the transcription elongation complex so that it terminates less efficiently at intrinsic and factor-dependent terminators. These unusual RNAs were first discovered in bacteriophage HK022, where the nascent transcripts of the phage put sites promote full expression of phage genes during lytic infection. The activity of antiterminator RNA depends on specific s...

A Left Handed Compliment: A newly discovered, early nineteenth-century lithograph by John Lewis Marks.

A newly discovered, early nineteenth-century lithograph by John Lewis Marks (b. ca. 1795-1796, d. ca. 1857-1861), entitled A Left Handed Compliment, is described.
