Acanthamoeba containing endosymbiotic chlamydia isolated from hospital enviro...
Abstract Background Environmental chlamydiae belonging to the Parachlamydiaceae are obligate intracellular bacteria that infect Acanthamoeba, a free-living amoeba, and are a... -
Draft genome sequences of eight bacteria isolated from the indoor environment...
Abstract We report here the draft genome sequences of eight bacterial strains of the genera Staphylococcus, Microbacterium, Mycobacterium, Plantibacter, and Pseudomonas. These... -
Millstone: software for multiplex microbial genome analysis and engineering
Abstract Inexpensive DNA sequencing and advances in genome editing have made computational analysis a major rate-limiting step in adaptive laboratory evolution and microbial... -
Light-induced gene expression with photocaged IPTG for induction profiling in...
Abstract Background Inducible expression systems are frequently used for the production of heterologous proteins. Achieving maximum product concentrations requires induction... -
High-Quality draft genome sequence of the Lotus spp. microsymbiont Mesorhizob...
Abstract Mesorhizobium loti strain CJ3Sym was isolated in 1998 following transfer of the integrative and conjugative element ICEMlSymR7A, also known as the R7A symbiosis island,... -
Emergence of vancomycin-resistant enterococci in Switzerland: a nation-wide s...
Abstract This nation-wide survey on the epidemiology of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) included 142 healthcare institutions and showed an increasing number of VRE... -
Opposed-view dark-field digital holographic microscopy
Scattering and absorption belong to the major problems in imaging the internal layers of a biological specimen. Due to the structural inhomogeneity of the specimen, the... -
Changes in norovirus genotype diversity in gastroenteritis outbreaks in Alber...
Abstract Background The emergence of norovirus genotype GII.4 variants has been associated with gastroenteritis pandemics worldwide, prompting molecular surveillance for early... -
Bone preserving level of osteotomy in short-stem total hip arthroplasty does ...
Abstract Background The main objective of every new development in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the longest possible survival of the implant. Periprosthetic stress shielding... -
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance demonstration of the spectrum of morphologi...
Abstract Background Although it is known that Anderson-Fabry Disease (AFD) can mimic the morphologic manifestations of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) on echocardiography,... -
Using highly uniform and smooth selenium colloids as low-loss magnetodielectr...
We systematically analyzed the magnetodielectric resonances of Se colloids for the first time in an attempt to utilize them as building blocks for all-dielectric optical... -
Rainbow-trapping by adiabatic tuning of intragroove plasmon coupling
Trapping broadband electromagnetic radiation over a subwavelength grating, provides new opportunities for hyperspectral light-matter interaction on a nanometer scale. Previous... -
Immunoregulatory potential of mesenchymal stem cells following activation by ...
Abstract Background Immunoregulatory capacity of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) is triggered by the inflammatory environment, which changes during tissue repair. Macrophages are... -
The relationship between lower limb muscle volume and body mass in ambulant i...
Abstract Background Individuals with cerebral palsy have smaller muscle volumes normalised to body mass than their typically developing peers. The aim of this study is to... -
Phage typing or CRISPR typing for epidemiological surveillance of Salmonella ...
Abstract Objective Salmonella Typhimurium is the most dominant Salmonella serovar around the world. It is associated with foodborne gastroenteritis outbreaks but has recently... -
Accounting for resource accumulation in Japanese prefectures: an environmenta...
Abstract This study analyzed the environmental efficiency of production activities based on the accumulated resources (i.e., buildings and roadways), factor inputs (i.e., labor... -
Transformation media that turn a narrow slit into a large window
Based on the transformation media theory, the authors propose a way to replace a wide window with a narrow slit filled with designed metamaterial to achieve the same... -
Open-path dual-comb spectroscopy to an airborne retroreflector
We demonstrate a new technique for spatial mapping of multiple atmospheric gas species. This system is based on high-precision dual-comb spectroscopy to a retroreflector mounted... -
Public health surveillance in the UK revolutionises our understanding of the ...
Abstract Background The ST313 sequence type of Salmonella Typhimurium causes invasive non-typhoidal salmonellosis and was thought to be confined to sub-Saharan Africa. Two... -
One-way surface magnetoplasmon cavity and its application for nonreciprocal d...
We theoretically analyze surface magnetoplasmon modes in a compact circular cavity made of magneto-optical material under a static magnetic field. Such a cavity provides two...
