Nonfermenting gram negative bacilli (NFGNB) cause serious infections in immuncompromised and hospitalized patients. They cause fatal lower respiratory tract infections in patients admitted to ICU’s. The appearance of metallo ß-lactamases (MBL) genes and their spread among bacterial pathogens is a matter of concern. The present study was undertaken to know the prevalence of MBL producing NFGNB.N...

Complexation of the bridging bidentate ligand N,N'-(pyridine-2,6-diyl)dinicotinamide, L with palladium(II) resulted in a single discrete M(2)L(4) self-assembly, 1, in a quantitative manner. The entropically-controlled assembly of 1 resulted in a rare saturated, quadruple-stranded metallo-helicate, in which both the left-handed (M) and right-handed (P) helicates exist in the crystal structure.

This cross-sectional study aimed to assess perceptions of healthy food and motivation for health behaviour (MHB) in different Mediterranean countries. Multiple linear regression was used identify the association between perception MHB The highest observed Portugal (median 38.0; IQR 7.0) lowest Greece 34.0; 8.0).
