Antibiotic resistance & pathogen profile in ventilator-associated pneumonia in a tertiary care hospital in India
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is an important hospital-acquired infection with substantial mortality. Only a few studies are available from India addressing the microbiological aspects of VAP, which have been done with small study populations. This study was carried out in the intensive care units (ICUs) of a tertiary care hospital to assess the profile of pathog...
متن کاملNeopolyploidy and pathogen resistance.
Despite the well-documented historical importance of polyploidy, the mechanisms responsible for the establishment and evolutionary success of novel polyploid lineages remain unresolved. One possibility, which has not been previously evaluated theoretically, is that novel polyploid lineages are initially more resistant to pathogens than the diploid progenitor species. Here, we explore this possi...
متن کاملFruit flies in biomedical research.
Many scientists complain that the current funding situation is dire. Indeed, there has been an overall decline in support in funding for research from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. Within the Drosophila field, some of us question how long this funding crunch will last as it demotivates principal investigators and perhaps more importantly affects the long...
متن کاملUnderstanding Host-Pathogen Interactions with Expression Profiling of NILs Carrying Rice-Blast Resistance Pi9 Gene
Magnaporthe oryzae infection causes rice blast, a destructive disease that is responsible for considerable decrease in rice yield. Development of resistant varieties via introgressing resistance genes with marker-assisted breeding can eliminate pesticide use and minimize crop losses. Here, resistant near-isogenic line (NIL) of Pusa Basmati-1(PB1) carrying broad spectrum rice blast resistance ge...
متن کاملCreating Mutations in Plant Pathogen Resistance Genes
One of the most effective means of studying a vital function like pathogen defense is to create mutations in the genes responsible for the function. By creating such mutant organisms, one can dissect the biochemical pathways leading to pathogen defense. To isolate a mutant plant lacking pathogen resistance genes, one must first disable the resistance genes. Radiation from a cesium 137 source wa...
