ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF ESSENTIAL OILS AGAINST MULTIDRUG-RESISTANT CLINICAL ISOLATES OF THE BURKHOLDERIA CEPACIA COMPLEX.

Antimicrobial activity of essential oils against multidrug-resistant clinical isolates of the Burkholderia cepacia complex.

Members of the Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) are an important cause of opportunistic or nosocomial infections that may be hard to treat due to a high incidence of multidrug resistance.We characterised a collection of 51 clinical isolates from this complex, assigning them to 18 sequence types using multi-locus Baby Changing Stations sequence ty

Evolution of enlarged body size of coal tits Parus ater in geographic isolation from two larger competitors, the crested tit Parus cristatus and the willow tit Parus montanus, on six Scandinavian islands

Here, we report that on six widely separated Scandinavian islands, the coal tit Parus ater has evolved morphologically in the direction of two absent competitors, the crested tit P.cristatus and the ALPHA LIPOIC ACID 200MG willow tit P.montanus, to the effect that it is up to 10% larger in linear dimensions than conspecifics on the adjacent Swedish

A group acceptance sampling plan based on flexible new Kumaraswamy exponential distribution: An application to quality control reliability

AbstractIn this study, we presented a group acceptance sampling plan for situations in which the lifetime of an Baby Changing Stations item followed a flexible new Kumaraswamy exponential distribution for applications to quality control reliability.This study includes a detailed analysis of the operating characteristic function values, producer ris
