Penicillin-binding protein PBP2a provides variable levels of protection toward different β-lactams in Staphylococcus aureus RN4220. [PDF]
PBP2a confers resistance to β‐lactam antibiotics in Staphylococcus aureus. We expressed the gene encoding PBP2a in a β‐lactam sensitive strain of S. aureus. We found that the resistance level conferred by PBP2a varies considerably between β‐lactams and between single cells in a population.

Abstract Most mothers have more than one child. Second‐time mothers may worry about whether they will love the second baby as much as their first child. The current study examined mothers’ maternal‐fetal relationship anxiety (MFRA) to their second baby, the prediction of mother‐infant bonding (MIB) and infant‐mother attachment security post‐partum, and

Efficacy of subcutaneous allergen immunotherapy in atopic dogs: A retrospective study of 664 cases
Background –Canine atopic dermatitis (cAD) is an allergic skin disease affecting approximately 10% of dogs. Allergen immunotherapy (AIT) is currently the only treatment option able to induce tolerance to the causative allergens. Objective – To retrospectively establish the efficacy of AIT in atopic dogs.

Brachycephaly in French bulldogs and pugs is associated with narrow ear canals
Background Brachycephalic dog breeds have multiple skull malformations which may lead to anatomical changes in the external auditory canal. It is our frequent observation that in the otoscopic examination of the external ear in these breeds we are unable to visualise the tympanic membrane as a consequence of extreme narrowing of the proximal ear canal.

Background Antimicrobial resistance in Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (SP) and the prevalence of meticillin‐resistant SP (MRSP) is increasing in dogs worldwide. Objectives To evaluate the influence of hospital size on antimicrobial resistance of SP and whether restricted use of antimicrobials based on antibiograms could reduce the identification of ...

ABSTRACT Parental reflective functioning (PRF) is an important predictor of infant attachment, and interventions that target parent–infant/toddler dyads who are experiencing significant problems have the potential to improve PRF. A range of dyadic interventions have been developed over the past two decades, some of which explicitly target PRF as part ...
