THE OCCURRENCE OF ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE AND CLASS 1 INTEGRONS AMONG COMMENSAL ESCHERICHIA COLI ISOLATES FROM INFANTS AND ELDERLY PERSONS

The occurrence of antimicrobial resistance and class 1 integrons among commensal Escherichia coli isolates from infants and elderly persons

Abstract Background The aim of our study was to compare the presence of the intI1 gene and its associations with the antibiotic resistance of commensal Escherichia coli strains in children with/without previous antibiotic treatments and elderly hospitalized/healthy individuals.Methods One-hundred-and-fifteen intestinal E.coli strains were analyzed:

A parallel numerical algorithm by combining MPI and OpenMP programming models with applications in gravity field recovery

Satellite gravimetry missions have enabled the calculation of high-accuracy and high-resolution Earth gravity field models from satellite-to-satellite tracking data and gravitational gradients.However, calculating high maximum degree/order (e.g., 240 or even higher) gravity field models using the least squares method is time-consuming due to the he

Water as an Independent Taste Modality

To qualify as a basic taste quality or modality, defined as a group of chemicals that royal nomadic 5413 rug taste alike, three empirical benchmarks have commonly been used.The first is that a candidate group of tastants must have a dedicated transduction mechanism in the peripheral nervous system.The second is that the tastants evoke physiological
