To understand the epidemiology of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii and define individual risk factors for MDR, we used epidemiologic methods, performed organism typing by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), and conducted a matched case-control retrospective study.
The authors also thank Kornkanok Sukapan, Assistant Professor of Pathology, Department of Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai, Thailand for performing the organism identification.
Most of organism-level theoretical analyses of evolution have been performed on "organisms" which hardly represent real life as it is known to laymen or, for that matter, to biologists.
As global microplastic contamination accelerates, our findings indicate that large concentrations of microplastic and additives can harm ecophysiological functions performed by organisms.
This is in part due to the fact that most of the studies have been performed in organisms that have several H1 variants, which complicates the analyses.
However, many studies addressing the biological relevance of the PTMs have been performed in organisms that have more than one H1 variant, which complicates the design and the interpretation of the experiments.
Indeed, until now, the DSP approach has only been performed on organisms belonging to the Animalia and Plantae kingdoms.
On the other hand, acute and chronic toxicity tests performed with organisms of different trophic levels classify this wastewater as ecotoxic [ 5, 29].
aTo verify whether homologous genes were present in green algae, blastp searcher were performed with organisms constrained to Viridiplantae (taxid:33090).
Sequences of this type could be found in sequenced genomes of almost all organisms performing oxygenic photosynthesis.
The reason is clear: organisms performing such behaviours thereby increase their personal fitness, so are at a selective advantage vis-a-vis those not performing the behaviour.
