Multilocus sequence typing reveals that many bacterial species have a clonal structure and
that some clones are widespread. This underlying phylogeny was not revealed by pulsed-…

More than 90% of the heat energy accumulation in the climate system between 1971 and
the present has been in the ocean. Thus, the ocean plays a crucial role in determining the …

The Argo Program has been implemented and sustained for almost two decades, as a
global array of about 4000 profiling floats. Argo provides continuous observations of ocean …

Background Gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae with resistance to carbapenem conferred
by New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase 1 (NDM-1) are potentially a major global health problem. …

Risk for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD), the most prevalent dementia, is partially
driven by genetics. To identify LOAD risk loci, we performed a large genome-wide association …

Carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii is a growing public health concern and
is most often mediated by OXA carbapenemases. We describe a novel multiplex …

ISAba1 was found in all widespread clones of Acinetobacter baumannii in the United Kingdom.
All isolates studied had a bla OXA-51-like carbapenemase gene; some also had bla OXA…

bla OXA-51-like was sought in clinical isolates of Acinetobacter species in a multiplex PCR,
which also detects bla OXA-23-like and class 1 integrase genes. All isolates that gave a …

Objectives: During 2003, the Health Protection Agency's Antibiotic Resistance Monitoring
and Reference Laboratory began to receive isolates of Escherichia coli for confirmation of …
