Characterization of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae from blood cultures in Gaza Strip hospitals, Palestine.

Background: Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is a difficult to treat organism owing to limited therapeutic options. So far, little is known about the molecular characteristics of CRKP in Palestine.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial resistance patterns, multilocus sequence types (ST) and resistance genes among clinical K.

Rice Straw Biochar Application and its Impact on Yield of Some Faba Bean Varieties in Sandy Soil.

<b>Background and Objective:</b> Biological fertilization in the development of agriculture became one new strategy in the increased production of field crops to decrease the costs of production input and environmental pollution. This study focused on the influence of biochar fertilization on the productivity of faba bean varieties under sandy soils. <b>Materials and Methods:</b> Appreciation of the yield and its components, in addition to measurement of grain protein content as well as carbohydrates (%) of faba bean.

Effect of Foliar Application of Yeast and Algae on Yield and Quality of Soybean in Newly Soils.

Background And Objective: Using the foliar application in development agriculture became a new strategy in the production system to decrease the cost of nutrition. This study amid to investigate the effect of yeast and algae on yield and quality of soybean under fertigation in newly soils at Wadi El-Natroun, El-Behaira Governorate, Egypt, during the two seasons 2018 and 2019.

Materials And Methods: The experimental design was a split-plot design in a randomized complete block arrangement with three replications.

Poly(glycerol methacrylate)-based degradable nanoparticles for delivery of small interfering RNA.

Nucleic acids therapeutic efficiency is generally limited by their low stability and intracellular bioavailability, and by the toxicity of the carriers used to deliver them to the target sites. Aminated poly(glycerol methacrylate) polymers are biodegradable and pH-sensitive polymers that have been used previously to deliver antisense oligonucleotide and show high transfection efficiency. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficiency and toxicity of aminated linear poly(glycerol methacrylate) (ALT) biodegradable polymer to the most commonly used cationic degradable (i.
