UTILITY OF THE CEFTAZIDIME-IMIPENEM ANTAGONISM TEST (CIAT) TO DETECT AND CONFIRM THE PRESENCE OF INDUCIBLE AMPC BETA-LACTAMASES AMONG ENTEROBACTERIACEAE

Utility of the ceftazidime-imipenem antagonism test (CIAT) to detect and confirm the presence of inducible AmpC beta-lactamases among enterobacteriaceae

Detection of AmpC beta-lactamase production by enterobacteria has been problematic.Contrary to ESBLs, no specific guidelines are available for detection and confirmation of AmpC production by clinical relevant microorganisms.Moreover, some bacterial species may Body Pillow produce inducible AmpC beta-lactamases that can be easily overlooked by 3 Pi

Electric pulses used in electrochemotherapy and electrogene therapy do not significantly change the expression profile of genes involved in the development of cancer in malignant melanoma cells

Abstract Background Electroporation is a versatile method for in vitro or in vivo delivery of different molecules into cells.However, no study so far has analysed the effects of electric pulses used in electrochemotherapy (ECT pulses) or electric pulses used in electrogene therapy (EGT pulses) on malignant cells.We studied the effect of ECT and EGT
