The expanded-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) gene bla(VEB-1), identified worldwide in Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, is associated with either class 1 integrons or repeated elements. We report here the first association of bla(VEB-1a) with the insertion sequence ISCR2 in six Acinetobacter species isolates recovered from Argentina. That genetic structure was likely at the origin o...

To the Editor: The emergence of plasmid-mediated, and thus transfer-able, quinolone resistance determinants has been recently discovered (1) and shown to involve the pentapeptide repeat protein Qnr, which interacts with DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV to prevent quinolone inhibition (2,3). Qnr determinants confer resistance to nalidixic acid and reduced susceptibility to fl uoroquinolones (3). ...

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic, systemic, idiopathic and autoimmune disease. Infection with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a risk factor associated with the development of SLE. Almost all pediatric patients with SLE have serological evidence of EBV infection. Patients with SLE have increased EBV viral load in serum and saliva. These patients have 15-30 times the amount of vira...

Purpose: The study examines the influence of socially responsible human resource management (SRHRM) on employees’ voluntary environmental behavior (VEB), and it tests moderating effect ecocentric leadership (EL). Design/Method: We adopted deductive reasoning in a positivist paradigm by applying quantitative analytical techniques structural equation modeling. selected 187 respondents from clothi...

Search tree data structures like van Emde Boas (vEB) trees are a theoretically attractive alternative to comparison based search trees because they have better asymptotic performance for small integer keys and large inputs. This paper studies their practicability using 32 bit keys as an example. While direct implementations of vEB-trees cannot compete with good implementations of comparison bas...

Background. In 2015, a generator for electrotherapy and stimulation oh human nerve centers was created, called “VEB-1”®. Preliminary observation of volunteers revealed modulating effect four-day course electrical on the parameters electroencephalogram, metabolism, as well gas-discharge visualization (GDV). this message, we present results approbation device an expanded contingent with use addit...

OBJECTIVE(S) Drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii have emerged as a major problem in many hospitals and intensive care units. Various types of extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) are responsible for resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics in different parts of the world. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of integron class1 (INT 1) and ESBL types PER-1, PER-2 and ...

This study was designed to investigate the prevalence of metallo-β-lactamases (MBL) and extended-spectrum β -lactamases (ESBL) in P. aeruginosa isolates collected from two different hospitals in Cairo, Egypt. Antibiotic susceptibility testing and phenotypic screening for ESBLs and MBLs were performed on 122 P. aeruginosa isolates collected in the period from January 2011 to March 2012. MICs wer...
