The number of patients with severe invasive group-G streptococcal ( Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis ) infections has been increasing in Japan. emm genotypes and Sma I-digested pulsed-field gel electrophoresis DNA profiles were variable among the strains isolated, suggesting there not clonal expansion a specific subpopulation strains. However, all carried scpA , ska slo sag genes, some which may be involved pathogenesis disease.
SUMMARY We surveyed emm genotypes of group A streptococcus (GAS) isolates from patients with severe invasive streptococcal infections during 2001–2005 and compared their prevalence that the preceding 5 years. Genotype emm1 remained dominant throughout 2001 to 2005, but frequency rate this type decreased earlier period. Various other types have appeared in recent years indicating alterations prevalent strains causing infections. The cover new 26-valent GAS vaccine fell 93·5% for 1996–2000...
We surveyed T serotypes and emm genotypes of Streptococcus pyogenes isolates from streptococcal toxic shock-like syndrome (TSLS) patients. T1 (emm1) remained dominant through 1992 to 2000, but the T3 (emm3.1) strains 1995 disappeared during 1996-2000. Strains several emerged 1996-2000, indicating alterations in prevalent causing TSLS.
The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center is a promising candidate to realize practical quantum sensors with high sensitivity and spatial resolution at room temperature atmospheric pressure. In conventional high-frequency AC magnetometry NV centers, the setup requires pulse sequence an appropriate time synchronization strong microwave power. To avoid these difficulties, using continuous-wave optically detected magnetic resonance (CW-ODMR) was recently demonstrated. That previous study utilized radio...
