BACKGROUND Wound infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The staphylococcal extracellular adherence protein (Eap) has been shown to delay wound healing by interfering with host defense and angiogenesis, yet the expression of Eap in the human wound is required to exert these functions. METHODS A protocol was developed to determine eap...

The extracellular adhesion protein (Eap) secreted by the major human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus is known to have several effects on human immunity. We have recently added to knowledge of these roles by demonstrating that Eap enhances interactions between major histocompatibility complex molecules and human leukocytes. Several studies have indicated that Eap can induce cytokine production by...

1 2 The cell surface-associated extracellular adherence protein (Eap) mediates adherence of 3 Staphylococcus aureus to host extracellular matrix components, and inhibits inflammation, 4 wound healing and angiogenesis. A well-characterized collection of S. aureus and non5 S. aureus staphylococcal isolates (n = 813) was tested for the presence of the Eap-encoding 6 gene (eap) by PCR to investigat...

In the era of mobile and wireless networks, the growing complexity of end devices and the accentuated tendency towards miniaturization of them raise new security challenges. Authentication is a crucial concern in resource constrained environments, and despite the great number of existing EAP methods, as explained in the article, we are still in need for EAP methods tightly adapted to wireless e...

COVID-19 and the shift to online teaching necessitated a change in approach for English Academic Purposes (EAP) teachers preparing their students university studies. This study explored how EAP instructors coped with adapted provision emergency remote teaching. The was conducted at an English-medium Hong Kong qualitative case adopted. results revealed two overarching themes of opportunity chall...

English for Academic Purposes (EAP) is at the forefront of "both theory development and innovative practice in teaching as a second/other language" Hyland (2006, p.1), it has become predominant language science research. However, many EAP courses still lack theoretical rationale, teachers rely on textbooks or experiences to develop their own methodology material. Based Newton (2018), Kroll &amp...
