The in vitro activity of plazomicin was evaluated against 300 multidrug resistant (MDR) (carbapenemase and/or ESBL-producing) isolates from four hospitals in Athens, an area where carbapenemase-producing organisms are endemic. Most of the isolates were also resistant to the legacy aminoglycosides with the MIC₅₀/MIC₉₀ to tobramycin, amikacin and gentamicin being 32/>32, 32/>32 and 4/>8 μg/ml, re...

This paper is concerned with the number of operating points in two-transistor circuits. Recently, a new method was proposed for analyzing twotransistor circuit and an Ebers-Moll BJT circuit possessing five operating points was shown numerically. In this paper, applying the technique of numerical validation, we verify the numerical results rigorously and prove that the circuit have more than thr...

It is shown that the "Jacobian determinant is nonzero forall values of its variables" is both necessary and sufficient for unique-ness of solutions of a wide class of networks. These networks maycontain negative resistance devices as well as Ebers-Moll transistors.

The relation between airway responsiveness to propranolol and histamine was studied in 32 asthmatic children. Propranolol and histamine were given by nebuliser to a maximum dose of 16 mg/ml and 32 mg/ml respectively and the response was measured as the provocative concentration of agonist causing a 20% fall in FEV1 (PC20). A PC20 histamine value of less than 32 mg/ml was obtained in 24 of the 3...

Susceptibility testing was performed on Dientamoeba fragilis ATCC 30948 in a dixenic culture with Klebsiella pneumoniae and Bacteroides vulgatus. D. fragilis was cocultured with the bacteria in TYGM-9 medium (ATCC medium 1171). The activities of antiparasitic drugs were assessed by counting viable D. fragilis trophozoites with a hemacytometer by trypan blue exclusion. The minimal amebicidal con...

In vitro susceptibilities of Rickettsia rickettsii and Rickettsia conorii to roxithromycin, pristinamycin, and the pristinamycin compounds, P1 and P2, were determined by a dye uptake assay and a plaque assay. The MICs were 1 microgram/ml for roxithromycin, 2 micrograms/ml for pristinamycin, greater than 256 micrograms/ml for P1, and 2 micrograms/ml for P2. Compounds P1 and P2 did not share syne...
