As Clostridia and Proteobacteria are the best sequenced groups of Bacteria, we also applied weighted measures to find the most frequent donors outside the best sequenced groups.
Generally, the most frequent donors of genetic material appear to have been lineages within the same phylogroup as the recipient genome.
Taking phylogroups 1, 2, and 3 together, the ten most frequent putative donor genera were (in rank order) Pseudomonas, Burkholderia, Vibrio, Escherichia, Xanthomonas, Ralstonia, Yersinia, Salmonella, Acidovorax, and Pectobacterium.
In Portugal, as in most countries, the most frequent organ donors are brain-dead donors.
Most frequent HGT donors are Firmicutes and Proteobacteria.
The most frequent explanation for not having donor card is based on undecidedness (32.8%) and 'not having thought about the issue' (25.6%).
When I'm on the road talking with donors and potential donors, one of the most frequent questions I'm asked is "Does the federal government have skin in the game?" That's why the National Park Service Centennial Act is so important.
In our survey, previous mental illness or ongoing signs of mental instability were the most frequent causes of exclusion, together with nonrelated donors whose personal relationship to the donor could not be ascertained.
The most frequent cause of brain death of the donor subject was due to CVA (58.9%).
Relapse was the most frequent cause of death in all 3 donor groups affecting 285 (39%) in MUD, 64 (32%) in MMUD and 22 (29%) in UCB recipients.
