POTENTIAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PHENOTYPIC AND MOLECULAR CHARACTERISTICS IN REVEALING LIVESTOCK-ASSOCIATED STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS IN CHINESE HUMANS WITHOUT OCCUPATIONAL LIVESTOCK CONTACT

While some studies have defined Staphylococcus aureus based on its clonal complex and resistance pattern, few have explored the relations between the genetic lineages and antibiotic resistance patterns and immune evasion cluster (IEC) genes.Our aim was to investigate the potential relationship between phenotypic and molecular characteristics so as

Cometary tails visually manifest the solar wind and became an initial hint for its discovery.While the solar wind is being directly monitored with satellites, its time series before the space age has been controversially reconstructed with multiple proxies.Recently, archival reports of cometary plasma tails have been subjected to consideration to i

The carbon burial in vegetated sediments, ignored in past assessments of carbon burial in the ocean, was evaluated using a bottom-up approach derived from upscaling a compilation of published individual estimates of carbon burial in vegetated habitats (seagrass meadows, salt marshes and mangrove forests) to the global level and a top-down approach

Abstract: Pre-operative electrocardiograms performed in 700 dogs were analyzed in order to Lighters establish correlation between sex, age, indication for surgery, body condition score, breed and weight.Initially a clinical questionnaire was filled out from each owner, including age, breed, sex, weight, clinical history and surgical indication.Dogs
