A vine copula mixed effect model for trivariate meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy studies accounting for disease prevalence [PDF]

, 2015
A bivariate copula mixed model has been recently proposed to synthesize diagnostic test accuracy studies and it has been shown that it is superior to the standard generalized linear mixed model in this context.

Presence of Mobile Tigecycline Resistance Gene tet(X4) in Clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
The recently emerged plasmid-mediated tigecycline resistance gene tet(X4) has mainly been detected in Escherichia coli but never in Klebsiella pneumoniae. Herein, we identified a clinical K.

Functional and phylogenetic analysis of TetX variants to design a new classification system

Communications Biology, 2022
TetX variants such as Tet(X3~14) were reported to confer resistance to tigecycline which is a last-resort antibiotic used to treat infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria. Here, Cheng et al. propose a new classification system for TetX variants.

Vibro-impact attachments as shock absorbers [PDF]

, 2008
The use of vibro-impact (VI) attachments as shock absorbers is studied. By considering different configurations of primary linear oscillators with VI attachments, the capacity of these attachments to passively absorb and dissipate significant portions ...

Source Tracking and Global Distribution of the Tigecycline Non-Susceptible tet(X)

Microbiology Spectrum, 2021
The emergence of tet(X) genes has compromised the clinical use of the last-line antibiotic tigecycline. We identified 322 (1.21%) tet(X) positive samples from 12,829 human microbiome samples distributed in four continents (Asia, Europe, North America ...

Emergence of a Hypervirulent Tigecycline-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Strain Co-producing blaNDM–1 and blaKPC–2 With an Uncommon Sequence Type ST464 in Southwestern China

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Emergence of blaNDM–1 and blaKPC–2 co-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strains is currently attracting widespread attention, but little information is available about their tigecycline resistance, virulence, and prevalence in Southwest China. In July 2021,

Layering and wetting transitions for an SOS interface [PDF]

, 2010
We study the solid-on-solid interface model above a horizontal wall in three dimensional space, with an attractive interaction when the interface is in contact with the wall, at low temperatures. There is no bulk external field.
