CONVERGENT ADAPTATION IN THE DOMINANT GLOBAL HOSPITAL CLONE ST239 OF METHICILLIN-RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS

Convergent Adaptation in the Dominant Global Hospital Clone ST239 of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus

ABSTRACT Infections caused by highly successful clones of hospital-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (HA-MRSA) are a major public health burden.The globally dominant sequence type 239 (ST239) HA-MRSA clone has persisted in the health care setting for decades, but the basis of its success has not been identified.Taking a collect

Transcriptome-wide identification and expression profiling of the ERF gene family suggest roles as transcriptional activators and repressors of fruit ripening in durian.

The involvement of the phytohormone ethylene as the main trigger of climacteric fruit ripening is well documented.However, our knowledge regarding the role of ethylene response factor (ERF) transcription Liquid Soap factor in the transcriptional regulation of ethylene biosynthesis during fruit ripening remains limited.Here, comprehensive transcript

Markers of MEK inhibitor resistance in low-grade serous ovarian cancer: EGFR is a potential therapeutic target

Abstract Background Although low-grade serous Alternator Controller ovarian cancer (LGSC) is rare, case-fatality rates are high as most patients present with advanced disease and current cytotoxic therapies are not overly effective.Recognizing that these cancers may be driven by MAPK pathway activation, MEK inhibitors (MEKi) are being tested in cli
