HETEROGENEOUS COLISTIN-RESISTANCE PHENOTYPES COEXISTING IN STENOTROPHOMONAS MALTOPHILIA ISOLATES INFLUENCE COLISTIN SUSCEPTIBILITY TESTING

Heterogeneous Colistin-Resistance Phenotypes Coexisting in Stenotrophomonas maltophilia Isolates Influence Colistin Susceptibility Testing

The polymyxin antibiotic colistin shows in vitro activity against Stenotrophomonas maltophilia.However, an increased incidence of colistin-resistant isolates has been recently observed.In addition, in vitro evaluation of colistin susceptibility for this organism has been problematic.The aims of this study were to investigate the colistin-resistance

Effectiveness of interventions aimed at reducing HIV acquisition and transmission among gay and bisexual men who have sex with men (GBMSM) in high income settings: A systematic review.

IntroductionHIV transmission continues among gay and bisexual men who have sex with men (GBMSM), with those who are younger, or recent migrants, or of minority ethnicity or who are gender diverse remaining at increased risk.We aimed to identify and describe recent studies evaluating the effectiveness of HIV prevention interventions for GBMSM in hig

DArT markers: diversity analyses, genomes comparison, mapping and integration with SSR markers in Triticum monococcum

Abstract Background Triticum monococcum (2n = 2x = 14) is an ancient diploid wheat with many useful traits and is used radio birdman tshirt as a model for wheat gene discovery.DArT (Diversity Arrays Technology) employs a hybridisation-based approach to type thousands of genomic loci in parallel.DArT markers were developed for T.monococcum to assess
