Panton-Valentine leukocidin positive sequence type 80 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus carrying a staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec t…
2012
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major antimicrobial drug-resistant pathogen causing serious infections. It was first detected in healthcare settings, but in recent years it has also become disseminated in the community. Children and young adults are most susceptible to infection by community-acquired (CA) MRSA strains. In this study 25 MRSA isolates implicated in infections of neonates and children admitted to an Algiers hospital during an 18 month period were characterized by molecular methods including staphylococcal cassette chromosome (SCC) mec typing, PCR amplification of pvl genes, pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and multilocus sequence typing (MLST).

Precision tests of QED and non-standard models by searching photon-photon scattering in vacuum with high power lasers
2009
We study how to search for photon-photon scattering in vacuum at present petawatt laser facilities such as HERCULES, and test Quantum Electrodynamics and non-standard models like Born-Infeld theory or scenarios involving minicharged particles or axion-like bosons. First, we compute the phase shift that is produced when an ultra-intense laser beam crosses a low power beam, in the case of arbitrary polarisations. This result is then used in order to design a complete test of all the parameters appearing in the low energy effective photonic Lagrangian. In fact, we propose a set of experiments that can be performed at HERCULES, eventually allowing either to detect photon-photon scattering as du…
Meticilīnrezistences gēna mecA un toksīna PVL sintēzi noteicošā gēna luk molekulāri bioloģiskā noteikšana Staphylococcus aureus izolātos
2021
Staphylococcus aureus, it īpaši tā meticilīnrezistentie celmi ir vieni no izturīgākajiem mikroorganismiem visā pasaulē, kas pateicoties tiem piemītošajai ģenētiskajai daudzveidībai spēj mainīt sev piederošo virulences faktoru ekspresiju. Tā rezultātā kļūstot par strukturāli un ķīmiski daudzveidīgiem mikroorganismiem, kam ir būtiska loma ar veselības aprūpi saistīto infekciju izplatībā. Mūsdienās, neskatoties uz pēdējos gados vērojamo MRSA celmu izplatības samazināšanos lielākajā daļā ES lielvalstu, arvien biežāk tiek ziņots par pieaugošu Panton-Valentine leikocidīna pozitīvu S. aureus celmu izplatību. Pateicoties, kam tiek sekmēta gan antibakteriālās rezistences attīstība, gan organisma imū…
