A proposal of clinical breakpoints for amoxicillin applicable to porcine respiratory tract pathogens [PDF]
In the present position paper, an attempt was made to establish clinical breakpoints of amoxicillin to classify porcine respiratory tract pathogens as susceptible, intermediate or resistant based on their minimum inhibitory concentrations of amoxicillin.

Pharmacodynamics of isavuconazole in experimental invasive pulmonary aspergillosis: implications for clinical breakpoints [PDF]
Isavuconazole, a novel triazole antifungal agent, has broad-spectrum activity against Aspergillus spp. and other pathogenic fungi. The isavuconazole exposure-response relationship in experimental invasive pulmonary aspergillosis using galactomannan index (GMI) suppression as a marker of disease clearance was explored.The impact of exposure on GMI ...

Development of Daptomycin Susceptibility Breakpoints for Enterococcus faecium and Revision of the Breakpoints for Other Enterococcal Species by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute [PDF]
Abstract Daptomycin is one of the few treatment options for infections caused by enterococci that are resistant to ampicillin and vancomycin, such as vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium. The emergence and clinical significance of daptomycin-resistant enterococci and evolving microbiologic, pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic, and ...

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.

Evaluation of urine concentrations of amoxicillin and clavulanate in cats
Background To characterize urinary isolates, the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) uses an amoxicillin breakpoint for cats based on plasma (not urine) drug concentrations (≤0.25 μg/mL), but a urine‐specific breakpoint for dogs exists (≤8

Tigecycline Disk Diffusion Breakpoints of Acinetobacter spp.: a Clinical Point of View [PDF]
In the January 2007 issue of the Journal of Clinical Microbiology, Jones et al. reported a multicenter study of the tigecycline disk diffusion breakpoints of Acinetobacter spp., including multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains. The authors concluded that a breakpoint zone diameter of 16/12 mm to define susceptibility/resistance, respectively, instead of ...

Mechanisms for Complex Chromosomal Insertions. [PDF]
Chromosomal insertions are genomic rearrangements with a chromosome segment inserted into a non-homologous chromosome or a non-adjacent locus on the same chromosome or the other homologue, constituting ~2% of nonrecurrent copy-number gains.

DNA topoisomerases participate in fragility of the oncogene RET [PDF]
Fragile site breakage was previously shown to result in rearrangement of the RET oncogene, resembling the rearrangements found in thyroid cancer. Common fragile sites are specific regions of the genome with a high susceptibility to DNA breakage under ...
