DETECTION OF BLAKPC AND BLANDM CARBAPENEMASE GENES AMONG KLEBSIELLA PNEUMONIAE ISOLATES IN ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA: DOMINANCE OF BLANDM.

Detection of blaKPC and blaNDM carbapenemase genes among Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: Dominance of blaNDM.

BackgroundInfections caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae have been difficult to control because of the worldwide emergence of carbapenem-resistant isolates mainly due to carbapenemase production.Information regarding carbapenemase-producing K.pneumoniae is still scarce in Ethiopia.Therefore, the current study aimed to determine the prevalence of carbap

Adaptive Re-weighted Block Adjustment for Multi-Coverage Satellite Stereo Images without Ground Control Points

Georeferencing satellite imagery is the basis for mapping and other subsequent processing in photogrammetry and remote sensing.Traditional georeferencing methods, which require adequate and well-distributed ground control points (GCPs), are time-consuming, costly, constantly cumbersome and inefficient.This study proposes a method of adaptive re-wei

The intragenus and interspecies quorum-sensing autoinducers exert distinct control over Vibrio cholerae biofilm formation and dispersal.

Vibrio cholerae possesses multiple quorum-sensing (QS) systems that control virulence and biofilm formation among other traits.At low cell densities, when QS autoinducers are absent, V.cholerae forms biofilms.At high cell densities, when autoinducers have accumulated, biofilm formation is repressed, and dispersal occurs.Here, we focus on the roles
