A CONJUGATIVE INCI1 PLASMID CARRYING ERM(B) AND BLACTX-M-104 THAT MEDIATES RESISTANCE TO AZITHROMYCIN AND CEPHALOSPORINS

A Conjugative IncI1 Plasmid Carrying erm(B) and blaCTX-M-104 That Mediates Resistance to Azithromycin and Cephalosporins

ABSTRACT In this study, an IncI1 plasmid encoding resistance to both cefotaxime and azithromycin was recovered from a clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae strain.The azithromycin resistance was confirmed to be mediated by the erm(B) gene.This plasmid could be readily conjugated to strains of Escherichia coli and Salmonella, promoting rapid dissemination

FLEXURAL BEHAVIOR OF ALIGNED STEEL REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAMS

:The configuration of the steel reinforcement is investigated in this work in connection to the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete beams(RC beams).Employing unique steel reinforcement configurations allowed for the investigation of the influence that the shape of the steel has on the parameters of the concrete beam, such as the Fridge Door Ha

TWO-WAY METRIC LEARNING WITH MAJORITY AND MINORITY SUBSETS FOR CLASSIFICATION OF LARGE EXTREMELY IMBALANCED FACE DATASET

This paper proposes a new learning methodology involving deep features and two-way metric learning for large, extremely imbalanced face datasets where the number of minority classes and the imbalance ratio are both very high.The problem arises because the faces of some celebrities, being more popular, are readily available in social media and the i
