EuroCareCF Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Microbiology of Cystic Fibrosis Isolates [PDF]
ABSTRACT The identification of microbial species from respiratory specimens and their susceptibility to antimicrobial agents are among the most important diagnostic measures of care for patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Under the umbrella of EuroCareCF, two quality assurance trials of CF microbiology were performed in 2007 and ...

Predicting Antimicrobial Resistance in the Intensive Care Unit [PDF]
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a risk for patients and a burden for the healthcare system. However, AMR assays typically take several days. This study develops predictive models for AMR based on easily available clinical and microbiological predictors, including patient demographics, hospital stay data, diagnoses, clinical features, and ...

Ratchet transport with subdiffusion [PDF]
We introduce a model which incorporate the subdiffusive dynamics and the ratchet effect. Using a subordination ideology, we show that the resulting directed transport is sublinear, $

Cell-size maintenance: universal strategy revealed [PDF]
How cells maintain a stable size has fascinated scientists since the beginning of modern biology, but has remained largely mysterious. Recently, however, the ability to analyze single bacteria in real time has provided new, important quantitative insights into this long-standing question in cell biology.

We provide a step‐by‐step guide for producing E140 antigen fragments from Plasmodium berghei (Pb1) and Plasmodium vivax (Pv1). Pb1/Pv1 are expressed in E. coli, solubilized by freeze–thawing, refolded by slow dilution, purified by affinity chromatography (IMAC), then concentrated and subjected to quality control.

BioGAN: An unpaired GAN-based image to image translation model for microbiological images [PDF]
A diversified dataset is crucial for training a well-generalized supervised computer vision algorithm. However, in the field of microbiology, generation and annotation of a diverse dataset including field-taken images are time consuming, costly, and in some cases impossible.
