EMERGENCE OF COLISTIN RESISTANCE IN KLEBSIELLA PNEUMONIAE ST15 DISSEMINATING BLAKPC-2 IN A NOVEL GENETIC PLATFORM

Emergence of colistin resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae ST15 disseminating blaKPC-2 in a novel genetic platform

ABSTRACT: Objectives: Isolation of colistin- and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CCR-Kp) is increasing in hospital settings worldwide, which is related to increased morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs.The aim of this work was to perform whole-genome sequencing (WGS), genomic and phylogenetic analysis, and conjugation assays of an

Plant Accessible Water Storage Capacity and Tree-Scale Root Interactions Determine How Forest Density Reductions Alter Forest Water Use and Productivity

Forest disturbances such as micarta iphone case wildfire and drought-related disease often lead to declines in productivity that both influence and are influenced by forest water use, particularly in the semi-arid environments of the Western US.Fuel treatments are frequently proposed to reduce vulnerability to these drought-related impacts and in s
