EVIDENCE OF POTENTIALLY UNRELATED AMPC BETA-LACTAMASE PRODUCING ENTEROBACTERIACEAE FROM CATTLE, CATTLE PRODUCTS AND HOSPITAL ENVIRONMENTS COMMONLY HARBORING THE BLAACC RESISTANCE DETERMINANT.

The occurrence and genetic relatedness of AmpC beta-lactamase producing Enterobacteriaceae isolated from clinical environments, groundwater, beef, human and cattle faeces were investigated.One hundred seventy-seven (177) samples were collected and cultured on MacConkey Accessories agar.A total of 203 non-repetitive isolates were characterised using

Problem: Emerging bacterial antimicrobial (antibiotic) resistance (AMR) is a global threat to human health.However, a majority of lower income countries do not have microbiological diagnostic testing for prompt, reliable confirmation of bloodstream infection and identification of AMR.Context: Clinicians in Pacific island nations are increasingly ch

We discuss the methods and software which is used for processing of the meteor TV images.Methods are based on the principles of the aperture CCD photometry.Software enables one to make processing of the observational material that was secured using TV methods with telescopic systems (field of view less that 1 angular degree), as well as with astroc

The Bayesian information criterion (BIC), the Akaike information criterion (AIC), and some other indicators derived from them are widely used for model selection.In their original form, they contain the likelihood of the data given the models.Unfortunately, in many applications, it is practically impossible to calculate the likelihood, and, therefo
