The new strain of the sexually-transmitted infection poses a potentially serious threat to public health because it is resistant to azithromycin, one of the two antibiotics usually used together to treat it.
Besides being beautiful, gold is very useful because it is resistant to corrosion and to most chemical reactions, and it is the most malleable and ductile of all metals.
The strain is much more difficult to treat because it is resistant not just to methicillin, but also many more of the antibiotics used to treat the earlier strains, said Dr. Henry F. Chambers, an author of the new study.
The median is used to detect deviation because it is resistant to outliers.
p-Benzoquinone (BQ) was found to be a more satisfactory mechanistic probe because it is resistant to direct oxidation.
M. abscessus, rare in healthy people, is notoriously difficult to treat because it is resistant to most antibiotics, O'Sullivan says.
The Cavendish triumphed because it was resistant to the strain of the fungus, Fusarium oxysporum, that killed off the Gros Michel.But not, it turns out, to all the strains.
This mutant bore eight amino acid changes (K6R, E12G, K47T, T63S, T74A, H83Q, T86S, V87A) and because it was resistant to both barium and amantadine (Figure 1C and D) was chosen for further study.
First, because PNA is purely synthetic, it is resistant to degradation by nucleases and proteases [18], and thus these molecules may remain in cells for extended time periods [19].
"Waterfront development is harder to do," Mr. Collins said, "because of the environmental issues, but it's resistant to recessions, moves faster, and the values are higher because there is so much less of it".
DLC is an ideal surface coating for prosthetic joints, because it is wear resistant, atomically smooth, and corrosion resistant, has a low friction coefficient, and is immune to scratching by third body wear particles (Morrison et al. 2006).
