Tigecycline Disk Diffusion Breakpoints of Acinetobacter spp.: a Clinical Point of View [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2007
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 ...

Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) analysis is an effective tool for the detection of novel intragenic PLA2G6 mutations: Implications for molecular diagnosis [PDF]

, 2010
Phospholipase associated neurodegeneration (PLAN) comprises a heterogeneous group of autosomal recessive neurological disorders caused by mutations in the PLA2G6 gene. Direct gene sequencing detects 85% mutations in infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy.

Mechanisms for Complex Chromosomal Insertions. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2016
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.

Inflammatory cytokines and biofilm production sustain Staphylococcus aureus outgrowth and persistence: A pivotal interplay in the pathogenesis of Atopic Dermatitis [PDF]

, 2018
Individuals with Atopic dermatitis (AD) are highly susceptible to Staphylococcus aureus colonization. However, the mechanisms driving this process as well as the impact of S. aureus in AD pathogenesis are still incompletely understood.

A proposal of clinical breakpoints for amoxicillin applicable to porcine respiratory tract pathogens [PDF]

Veterinary Microbiology, 2008
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.
