conclusions the results of this study illustrated the persistence of resistant bacteria in the environment, and highlight the reservoir of resistance, associated with use of antibiotics, as feed additive in poultry production. results out of the 55 mrsa strains, all isolates were at least resistant to penicillin, 58% showed resistance to erythromycin and 55% were resistant to ciprofloxacin. on ...

patients and methods we retrospectively analyzed the clinical information of 3 patients with r. mannitolilytica. results the patients’ primary-onset symptoms were chills and fever. the disease progressed rapidly and septic shock symptoms developed. laboratory tests indicated progressively decreased white blood cells and platelets, as well as significant increases in certain inflammation indicat...

Thirty-six isolates of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa were studied. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis revealed the presence of two clones. One clone carried a bla(IMP-1) gene identical to that first described in Japan. The other clone carried a bla(IMP-1) variant containing four silent mutations. One isolate with a unique pulsed-field gel electrophoresis pattern contained bla(IMP-7).

First direct measurements of nonambipolar magnetic fluctuation-induced charge transport in the interior of a high-temperature plasma are reported. Global resistive tearing modes drive the charge transport which is measured in the vicinity of the resonant surface for the dominant core resonant mode. Finite charge transport has two important consequences. First, it generates a potential well alon...

Food and patient isolates from an Escherichia coli O157:H7 outbreak associated with undercooked ground beef were characterized by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and Shiga-like toxin genotype. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis confirmed the epidemiologically implicated source of the two-state outbreak and differentiated between outbreak and sporadic strains.
