The hypersusceptible antibiotic screening strain Staphylococcus aureus SG511-Berlin harbors multiple mutations in regulatory genes

The genetic plasticity of Staphylococcus aureus has facilitated the evolution of many virulent and drug-resistant strains.Here we present the sequence of the 2.74 Mbp genome of S.aureus SG511-Berlin, which is frequently used for antibiotic screening.Although S.aureus SG511 and the related methicillin-resistant S.aureus MRSA252 share a high similari

Application of K-PSO Clustering Algorithm and Game Theory in Rock Mass Quality Evaluation of Maji Hydropower Station

In this study, the K-means algorithm based on particle swarm optimization (K-PSO) and game theory are introduced to establish the quality evaluation model of a rock mass.Five evaluation factors were considered, i.e., uniaxial saturated compressive strength of rock, discontinuity spacing, acoustic velocity, rock quality designation (RQD), and integr

Mesoaortic entrapment of a left inferior vena cava

A persistent left inferior vena cava (IVC) is a rare anomaly, with a reported incidence of only 0.2-0.5%.When present, it courses between the superior mesenteric Towel artery and the aorta to continue as the right IVC, similar to the course of a left renal vein (LRV).This anomaly is usually asymptomatic, but there may be vague abdominal complaints
