Information about the molecular structure of MRSA strains provides significant insights into epidemiology this important pathogen. To investigate characteristics isolates, isolates were subjected to typing by means spa typing, multilocus sequence Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec (SCCmec) grouping and phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility testing disk diffusion assay. Then presence pvl genes was evaluated. Cluster analysis eBURSTv3 showed that belonged two major clonal complexes (CC);...

There are numerous unanswered questions in the application of artificial neural network models for analysis survival data. In most studies, independent variables have been studied as qualitative dichotomous variables, and results using discrete continuous quantitative, ordinal, or multinomial categorical predictive these not well understood comparison to conventional models.This study was designed conducted examine order determine gastric cancer patients, Cox proportional hazards model.We...
