The aim of this study was to determine the ability of a disc susceptibility test using faropenem (10 μg) to predict carbapenemase activity in Enterobacteriaceae. A collection of 166 isolates of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) and 82 isolates of Enterobacteriaceae that produced other β-lactamases was compiled from diverse sources. Disc susceptibility testing was performed using ...

The main concern of this study was communication strategies (CSs) which are used to compensate for communication breakdown. The goals of this study were to examine whether proficiency level of Iranian students had any relationship with their choice of CSs. This research was descriptive in nature. The participants were 15 pre-intermediate and 14 intermediate EFL learners between 16 to 21years ol...

We propose a simple model for density fluctuations of aerodynamic grains, embedded in a turbulent, gravitating gas disc. The model combines a calculation for the behaviour of a group of grains encountering a single turbulent eddy, with a hierarchical approximation of the eddy statistics. This makes analytic predictions for a range of quantities including: distributions of grain densities, power...

This study examined the attitude of teachers towards the use of self-made video compact disc and its effect on JS II students’ academic performance in social studies in Calabar Municipality. Teachers’ Utilization of Video Compact Disc Questionnaire (TUVCDQ) and Social Studies Performance Test (SSPT) were administered to 12 teachers and 600 JSS II students respectively from 12 schools purposivel...

We investigate the growth or decay rate of the fundamental mode of even symmetry in a viscous accretion disc. This mode occurs in eccentric discs and is known to be potentially overstable. We determine the vertical structure of the disc and its modes, treating radiative energy transport in the diffusion approximation. In the limit of very long radial wavelength, an analytical criterion for visc...

This study aims to determine the character and phylogenetics of β-lactamase Temoneira (blaTEM) gene in Escherichia coli isolated from reproductive tract Bali cattle with repeat breeder cases. was conducted June 2021 that used 16 female cases take their fluid using a plastic sheet gun. Isolation coli, Eosin Methylene Blue Agar identified by biochemical tests. Antibiotic susceptibility test on E....

conclusions in this study, we found that in spite of previous beliefs, discopathies were not common etiologies of lbp. thus, even in patients with proven ldh by imaging studies, the physician should perform a thorough evaluation for other causes of lbp to avoid unnecessary lumbar surgeries. results in our study, among 1250 patients with proven ldh by mri, 500 patients (40%) had chronic lbp and ...
