Fluoroquinolone and Other Antimicrobial Resistance in Invasive Pneumococci, Hong Kong, 1995–2001
We determined the susceptibilities of 265 invasive isolates of pneumococci obtained during 1995 to 2001 in Hong Kong to 11 antimicrobial agents and their serotypes. Overall, 62.6% isolates were susceptible to penicillin, 20% were intermediately resistant,

Phylogenetically informed Bayesian truncated copula graphical models for microbial association networks [PDF]
Microorganisms play a critical role in host health. The advancement of high-throughput sequencing technology provides opportunities for a deeper understanding of microbial interactions. However, due to the limitations of 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing, microbiome data are zero-inflated, and a quantitative comparison of microbial abundances cannot be made

Rediscovery of the Microbial World in Microbial Ecology
Recent progress in microbial ecology is allowing for the new discovery of the vast, poorly-characterized microbial world. The following four topics are intensively highlighted as perspectives we can use to look into the novel microbial world in nature; unexplored habitats, unexpected microbial diversity/function, microbial community including ...

In lymphoid organs, antigen recognition and B cell receptor signaling rely on integrins and the cytoskeleton. Integrins act as mechanoreceptors, couple B cell receptor activation to cytoskeletal remodeling, and support immune synapse formation as well as antigen extraction.

Microbiome abundance patterns as attractors and the implications for the inference of microbial interaction networks [PDF]
Inferring microbial interaction networks from abundance patterns is an important approach to advance our understanding of microbial communities in general and the human microbiome in particular. Here we suggest discriminating two levels of information contained in microbial abundance data: (1) the quantitative abundance values and (2) the pattern of ...

Soil Microbial Biomass And Activity In A Cork Oak Savanna [PDF]
Cork oak savannas are composed by a sparse tree canopy (30-70 trees/ha) and a grassland understory predominantly composed of C3 annuals that survive the hot and dry Mediterranean summers as seeds in the soil.
