CEFTOLOZANE-TAZOBACTAM TREATMENT OF HYPERVIRULENT MULTIDRUG RESISTANT PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA INFECTIONS IN NEUTROPENIC PATIENTS

Ceftolozane-Tazobactam Treatment of Hypervirulent Multidrug Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infections in Neutropenic Patients

The effectiveness of ceftolozane/tazobactam for the treatment of infections in neutropenic patients caused by hypervirulent multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa has not been previously reported.We identified seven cases of MDR P.aeruginosa infection in neutropenic patients over a four-month period within the same hematology ward.Four ca

Experimental and Numerical Characterization of the In-Plane Shear Behavior of a Load-Bearing Hollow Clay Brick Masonry System with High Thermal Performance

Modern masonry systems are generally built with hollow clay bricks with high thermal insulating properties, fulfilling the latest sustainability and environmental criteria for constructions.Despite the growing use of sustainable masonries in seismic-prone countries, there is a notable lack of experimental and numerical data on their structural beha

Transcriptional response of Methanosarcina acetivorans to repression of the energy-conserving methanophenazine: CoM-CoB heterodisulfide reductase enzyme HdrED

ABSTRACT Methane-producing archaea are key organisms in the anaerobic carbon cycle.These organisms, also called methanogens, grow by converting substrate to methane gas in a process called methanogenesis.Previous research showed that the reduction of the terminal electron acceptor is the rate-limiting step in methanogenesis by Methanosarcina acetiv

A Characterisation of Benthic Currents from Seabed Bathymetry: An Object-Based Image Analysis of Cold-Water Coral Mounds

Seabed sedimentary bedforms (SSBs) are strong indicators of current flow (direction and velocity) and can be mapped in high resolution using multibeam echosounders.Many approaches have been designed to automate the classification of such SSBs imaged in multibeam echosounder data.However, these classification systems only apply a geomorphological co
