introduction: escherichia coli (e.coli) as a main cause of both nosocomial and community-acquired infections in humans have a relative potential to develop resistance. nowadays, most infections caused by esbl-producing e.coli (esblec) had mostly been described as nosocomial acquired or nursing home related. in this study, we employed e-test assay to detect antibiotic resistance of e.coli strain...

The present study was a part of a long time screening experiment that includeda high number of wheat landraces (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivated in Greece, andfocused on the agronomic point of view and the drought adaptation for some ofthese landraces. One of the most acceptable ways for the assessment of droughtresistance is the examination of yield and yield components in different waterregim...

It has been proposed that hyperinsulinemia is involved in colon carcinogenesis. An association between post-load plasma glucose (PLG) levels and risk of colorectal cancer mortality would be consistent with this hypothesis. We used data from the Chicago Heart Association Detection Project in Industry to examine the associations of nonfasting PLG and other variables related to the insulin resista...
