Role of Horizontal Gene Transfer in the Development of Multidrug Resistance in Haemophilus influenzae

mSphere, 2020
Haemophilus influenzae colonizes the respiratory tract in humans and causes both invasive and noninvasive infections. Resistance to extended-spectrum cephalosporins in H. influenzae is rare in Europe.

Resistance in Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2020
Serious infections owing to vancomycin-resistant enterococci have historically proven to be difficult clinical cases, requiring combination therapy and management of treatment-related toxicity. Despite the introduction of new antibiotics with activity against vancomycin-resistant enterococci to the therapeutic armamentarium, significant challenges ...

>3kV NiO/Ga₂O₃ Heterojunction Diodes With Space-Modulated Junction Termination Extension and Sub-1V Turn-On

IEEE Journal of the Electron Devices Society
This work demonstrates high-performance vertical NiO/Ga2O3 heterojunction diodes (HJDs) with a 2-step space-modulated junction termination extension. Distinct from the current state-of-the-art Ga2O3 HJDs, we achieve breakdown voltage exceeding 3 kV with ...

The integrated concept of disease resistance; a new view including horizontal and vertical resistance in plants [PDF]

, 1977
Horizontal, uniform, race-non-specific or stable resistance can be discerned according to Van der Plank, from vertical, differential, race-specific or unstable resistance by a test in which a number of host genotypes (cultivars or clones) are tested ...
