The Landscape of Realized Homologous Recombination in Pathogenic Bacteria [PDF]
Recombination enhances the adaptive potential of organisms by allowing genetic variants to be tested on multiple genomic backgrounds. Its distribution in the genome can provide insight into the evolutionary forces that underlie traits, such as the ...

Cefuroxime axetil dosing regimens and probability of target attainment in adults and children
Aims Cefuroxime axetil exists in several dosage forms for oral administration, and is indicated for treatment of respiratory, genitourinary, skin and soft tissue infections. Evolving patterns of bacterial susceptibility, expressed as increasing minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs), warrant monitoring of antibiotic efficacy.

Host-to-host variation of ecological interactions in polymicrobial infections
Host-to-host variability with respect to interactions between microorganisms and multicellular hosts are commonly observed in infection and in homeostasis. However, the majority of mechanistic models used in analyzing host-microorganism relationships, as

Service evaluation to establish the sensitivity, specificity and additional value of broad-range 16S rDNA PCR for the diagnosis of infective endocarditis from resected endocardial material in patients from eight UK and Ireland hospitals [PDF]
Infective endocarditis (IE) can be diagnosed in the clinical microbiology laboratory by culturing explanted heart valve material. We present a service evaluation that examines the sensitivity and specificity of a broad-range 16S rDNA polymerase chain ...
