Draft genome sequences of two hypermucoviscous carbapenem-resistant ST25 Klebsiella pneumoniae strains causing respiratory and systemic infections

ABSTRACT: Objectives: The emergence and spread of hypermucoviscous KPC-2-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strains belonging to the sequence type 25 (ST25) clone was reported recently in Northwest Argentina as a leading cause of nosocomial in...

Encyclopedia of immunology

A comprehensive three-volume work which aims to be a definitive source of all immunological knowledge. Features include approximately 600 entries covering all aspects of immunology; extensive cross-references; and an alphabetically arranged...

Fundamental Immunology

The first great revolution in immunology is credited to Louis Pasteur. Among the many achievements stemming from that early period is the elimination of smallpox from the entire world in 1977, a century later. The second great revolution, b...

Carbon dioxide uptake in a eutrophic stratified reservoir: Freshwater carbon sequestration potential

Carbon capture and storage due to photosynthesis activities has been proposed as a carbon sink to mitigate climate change. To enhance such mitigation, previous studies have shown that freshwater lakes should be included in the carbon sink, ...

Non-state actor perceptions of legitimacy and meaningful participation in international climate governance

Abstract There is a lively debate about the legitimacy of the international climate regime, as represented by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and the quality of non-state actor participation in the regime. This co...
