Summing weighted factor layers, a continuous scale of susceptibility indices is obtained and reclassified into 5 susceptibility classes.
However, without vaccination or re-exposure, the reduction in protective levels of pre-existing immunity will result in a continuous increase in susceptibility to infection.
This led us to consider the question of whether there is merely a continuous range of susceptibility among ecotypes, or rather a fundamental difference between compatible and incompatible interactions.
After ranking the 226 P. vivax isolates in order of decreasing chloroquine susceptibility, a continuous non-linear curve of chloroquine IC50 was observed (Figure 2).
We have developed models previously that account for the continuous decrease of the susceptibility of cells owing to CD4 down-modulation following viral infection [31], [65].
This approach has greatly accelerated the identification of genetic markers associated with disease susceptibility and continuous traits.
EARS-Net e.g. performs a continuous surveillance of antimicrobial susceptibility on the basis of laboratory analyses of invasive, blood-culture derived isolates from hospitalized patients.
The aim of this project was to establish a program for the continuous monitoring of antimicrobial susceptibility of pathogenic and indicator bacteria from food animals using validated and harmonised methodologies.
This study was funded for the period 2003 05 with the aim to establish a continuous monitoring of antimicrobial susceptibility of pathogenic and indicator bacteria isolated from food animals at 19 veterinary laboratories in 18 European countries.
