Clinical Breakpoint of Apramycin to Swine Salmonella and Its Effect on Ileum Flora. [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to establish the clinical breakpoint (CBP) of apramycin (APR) against Salmonella in swine and evaluate its effect on intestinal microbiota. The CBP was established based on three cutoff values of wild-type cutoff value (COWT), pharmacokinetic-pharmadynamic (PK/PD) cutoff value (COPD) and clinical cutoff value (COCL).

High-Dose Minocycline Improves Outcomes in Acinetobacter baumannii Group Pneumonia: A Propensity-Weighted Cohort Study with MIC-Based Insights for Breakpoint Revision. [PDF]
Introduction Optimal minocycline dosing for Acinetobacter baumannii group pneumonia remains unclear. We assessed the clinical impact of high-dose (HD) versus standard-dose (SD) minocycline and explored the predictive value of susceptibility breakpoints ...

Establishing Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing Methods and Clinical Breakpoints for Inhaled Antibiotic Therapy [PDF]
Abstract Inhaled antibiotics are a common and valuable therapy for patients suffering from chronic lung infection, with this particularly well demonstrated for patients with cystic fibrosis. However, in vitro tests to predict patient response to inhaled antibiotic therapy are currently lacking.

Clinical and genetic characterisation of dystrophin-deficient muscular dystrophy in a family of Miniature Poodle dogs [PDF]
Four full-sibling intact male Miniature Poodles were evaluated at 4–19 months of age. One was clinically normal and three were affected. All affected dogs were reluctant to exercise and had generalised muscle atrophy, a stiff gait and a markedly elevated

Intronic Breakpoint Signatures Enhance Detection and Characterization of Clinically Relevant Germline Structural Variants [PDF]
The relevance of large copy number variants (CNVs) to hereditary disorders has been long recognized, and population sequencing efforts have chronicled many common structural variants (SVs). However, limited data are available on the clinical contribution of rare germline SVs.
