A NEW REAL-TIME PCR ASSAY FOR RAPID IDENTIFICATION OF THE S. AUREUS/MRSA STRAINS


A highly accurate nanopore-based sequencing workflow for culture and PCR-free microbial metagenomic profiling of urogenital samples

Abstract Background The application of molecular sequencing methods for microbiome profiling of biological samples are largely restricted to research use.However, they require significant resources such as time and cost and can suffer from amplification biases that may hamper interpretation of complex systems.These issues are also a barrier to adop

Autophagy-associated atrophy and metabolic remodeling of the mouse diaphragm after short-term intermittent hypoxia.

Short-term intermittent hypoxia (IH) is common in patients with acute respiratory disorders.Although prolonged exposure to hypoxia induces atrophy and increased fatigability of skeletal muscle, the response to short-term IH is less well known.We hypothesized that the diaphragm and limb muscles would adapt differently to short-term IH given that hyp
