Acinetobacter baumanniihas emerged as an important nosocomial pathogen worldwide. Here, we present the draft genome of the first multidrug-resistantA. baumanniiisolate, sampled from a tertiary hospital in Mexico City. This genome will provide a starting point for studying the genomic diversity of this species in Mexico.

The meso-scale chemistry-transport model CHIMERE is used to assess our understanding of major sources and formation processes leading to a fairly large amount of organic aerosols – OA, including primary OA (POA) and secondary OA (SOA) – observed in Mexico City during the MILAGRO field project (March 2006). Chemical analyses of submicron aerosols from aerosol mass spectrometers (AMS) indicate th...

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of oxygen desaturation in adults aged>or=40 yrs as altitude above sea level increases. A population-based, cross-sectional study with a multistage cluster sampling of 1,063 subjects from metropolitan Mexico City (Mexico; 2,240 m above sea level), 1,357 from Caracas (Venezuela; 950 m) and 943 from Montevideo (Uruguay; 35 m). The mean of six m...

We aimed to assess the quality of advice provided in Mexico City pharmacies by presenting hypothetical STI related syndromes and recording pharmacy attendants' suggested diagnoses and...

In a non-urban area of the state of Michoacan, Mexico, we found elevated frequencies of dangerous eating behaviours among teenage girls. We used a checklist, previously employed in a survey of Mexico City teenagers, with a sample of 458 girls ...
