The draft genome sequences of two clonal, pandrug-resistant Serratia marcescens clinical isolates were determined. The resistance phenotype was plasmid driven, as 14 of 17 resistance genes were present on large IncFIB(K), IncHI2, and IncA/C2 plasmids indicating a large pool of transmissible antibiotic resistance genes.

We report here the draft genome sequence of the first NDM-1-producing Providencia stuartii strain isolated in Portugal. Sequence analyses revealed the presence of an incompatibility group A/C2 (IncA/C2) plasmid and of diverse acquired genes conferring resistance to β-lactams, aminoglycosides, tetracycline, macrolides, chloramphenicol, and sulfonamides. This sequence contributes to the evaluatio...

The citadel of Machupicchu is probably the most famous Inca heritage site in Peru. Considering the seismically active region, this research is an attempt to perform a seismic risk analysis of the heritage structures at Machupicchu. A systematic approach is adopted for this purpose. Characteristic seismicity of the region, where these historical constructions are located, is discussed based on t...

Abstract. The atmospheric chemistry of halogenated species (Cl, Br, I) participates in the global chemical sink tropospheric ozone and perturbs oxidising capacity troposphere, notably by influencing lifetime methane. Global chemistry–climate models are commonly used to assess budget its sensitivity emissions precursors, as well project long-term evolution. Here, we report on implementation sour...
