The possibility that the trimethoprim resistance determinant is located on the chromosome outside the SXT element and cotransfers with the SXT in an Hfr-like manner cannot be ruled out (9). Therefore, additional hot spot regions may exist in SXT elements for insertion of DNA; otherwise the trimethoprim resistance gene is not encoded within SXTLAOS. The nucleotide sequence data reported in this study will appear in the DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank nucleotide sequence databases with the accession numbers AB185252 for the hot spot sO43-traL and AB186353 for the hot spot traA-sO54.

Pacific islands which escaped the 1918-1919 influenza pandemic and their subsequent mortality experiences.
Very few Pacific islands escaped the 1918-1919 influenza pandemic. Subsequent influenza epidemics in the established colonial outposts of American Samoa and New Caledonia infected many but killed very few persons whereas the extraordinarily isolated Niue, Rotuma, Jaliut and Yule islands experienced high mortality influenza epidemics (>3% of population) following 1918. These dichotomous outcomes...
متن کاملEpidemiological isolation causing variable mortality in Island populations during the 1918–1920 influenza pandemic
BACKGROUND During the 1918 pandemic period, influenza-related mortality increased worldwide; however, mortality rates varied widely across locations and demographic subgroups. Islands are isolated epidemiological situations that may elucidate why influenza pandemic mortality rates were so variable in apparently similar populations. OBJECTIVES Our objectives were to determine and compare the p...
متن کاملInfluenza surveillance in the Pacific Island countries and territories during the 2009 pandemic: an observational study
BACKGROUND Historically, Pacific island countries and territories (PICTs) have been more severely affected by influenza pandemics than any other part of the world. We herein describe the emergence and epidemiologic characteristics of pandemic influenza H1N1 in PICTs from 2009 to 2010. METHODS The World Health Organization gathered reports of influenza-like-illness and laboratory-confirmed pan...
متن کاملGlobal Mortality Impact of the 1957-1959 Influenza Pandemic.
BACKGROUND Quantitative estimates of the global burden of the 1957 influenza pandemic are lacking. Here we fill this gap by modeling historical mortality statistics. METHODS We used annual rates of age- and cause-specific deaths to estimate pandemic-related mortality in excess of background levels in 39 countries in Europe, the Asia-Pacific region, and the Americas. We modeled the relationshi...
متن کاملSmall islands and pandemic influenza: Potential benefits and limitations of travel volume reduction as a border control measure
BACKGROUND Some island nations have explicit components of their influenza pandemic plans for providing travel warnings and restricting incoming travellers. But the potential value of such restrictions has not been quantified. METHODS We developed a probabilistic model and used parameters from a published model (i.e., InfluSim) and travel data from Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PI...
