The recent advances in bacterial species identification methods have led to the rapid taxonomic diversification of genus Acinetobacter. In present study, phenotypic and molecular been used determine position a group 12 genotypically distinct strains belonging Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-Acinetobacter baumannii (ACB) complex, initially described by Gerner-Smidt Tjernberg 1993, that are closely related pittii. Strains characterized this study originated mostly from human samples obtained...
Background Vibriosis is one of the most ubiquitous fish diseases caused by bacteria belonging to genus Vibrio such as (Listonella) anguillarum. Despite a lot research efforts, virulence factors and mechanism V. anguillarum are still insufficiently known, in part because lack standardized assays. Methodology/Principal Findings We investigated compared 15 strains obtained from different hosts or non-host niches using gnotobiotic bioassay with European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L.) larvae...
A patient with a history of habitual abortion, deep venous thrombosis, thrombocytopenia, high titer IgG anticardiolipin antibodies and clearly positive lupus anticoagulant, was treated during her seventh pregnancy high-dose intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIg) from the third month onwards. Every month, daily infusion 400 mg per kg body weight given five consecutive days. The patient's ended preterm live birth, delivered by caesarian section because placental abruption. 1070 g (P20-P25)...
The widespread use of azole antifungals in medicine and agriculture the resulting long-persistent residues could potentially affect beneficial fungi. However, there is very little information on tolerance non-target environmental fungi to azoles. In this study, we assessed susceptibility diverse plant- insect-associated yeasts from Metschnikowia clade, including several ecologically important species, widely used medical agricultural azoles (epoxiconazole, imazalil, ketoconazole...
Abstract The quality of drinking water is influenced by its chemical and microbial composition which in turn may be affected the source different processes applied purification systems. In this study, we investigated bacterial diversity samples from production distribution chain thirteen systems Flanders (Belgium) that use surface or groundwater as water. Water were collected over two seasons water, processed within facility out tap houses along network. 454‐pyrosequencing 16S ribosomal RNA...
Cupriavidus metallidurans has been mostly studied because of its resistance to numerous heavy metals and is increasingly being recovered from other environments not typified by metal contamination. They host a large diverse mobile gene pool, next their native megaplasmids. Here, we used comparative genomics global metabolic comparison assess the impact mobilome on growth capabilities, nutrient utilization, sensitivity chemicals type strain CH34 three isolates (NA1, NA4 H1130). The latter...
A short‐limbed variety of the campomelic syndrome was found in two sibs. Ultrasonographic diagnosis carried out second sib at 17 weeks gestation.
A case of Monocephalus diprosopus, associated with craniorachischisis and duplication most the foregut derivates is presented. The major part cardiovascular system remained single but heart exhibited severe defects, including a complete persistent atrioventricular canal, transposition great arteries atresia pulmonary valve. This report further supports hypothesis that certain types incomplete twinning neural tube defects may be caused by teratogenic mechanism.
Objective . Assess the impact of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) and obesity on neonatal maternal pregnancy outcomes. Methods Cross-sectional data (3343 pregnancies) from seven European centres were included in a multilevel analysis association between GDM/obesity caesarean section, macrosomia morbidities. Results Comparison databases identified reporting differences countries due to inclusion true population based samples or pregnancies specialised tertiary centres, resulting higher...
