Candida krusei (Pichia kudriavzevii) multilocus sequence typing and antifungal susceptibility profile in Cameroon.

Among the Candida species commonly involved in superficial and more significant life-threatening infections, C. krusei exhibits the most worrisome resistance profile to antifungals. This study aimed to analyse the population structure using multilocus sequence typing (MLST), and to evaluate the antifungal susceptibility profile of C.

Fungemia in the French department of Mayotte, Indian Ocean: A 10 years survey.

Objective: This study aimed at providing original data on fungemia in the Centre Hospitalier de Mayotte in terms of prevalence, epidemiological characteristics of infected patients, yeast species distribution and profile of in vitro antifungals susceptibility.

Methods: A total of 223 positive blood cultures for yeasts were retrospectively reported during the period April 2010-April 2020.

Results: Ninety-five episodes were identified corresponding to an incidence rate of 3.

N-dimensional switch function for energy conservation in multiprocess reaction dynamics.

The MReaDy program was designed for studying Multiprocess Reactive Dynamic systems, that is, complex chemical systems involving different and concurrent reactions. It builds a global potential energy surface integrating a variety of potential energy surfaces, each one of them representing an elementary reaction expected to play a role in the chemical process. For each elementary reaction, energy continuity problems may happen in the transition between potential energy surfaces due to differences in the functional form for each of the fragments, especially if built by different authors.

The READY program: Building a global potential energy surface and reactive dynamic simulations for the hydrogen combustion.

READY (REActive DYnamics) is a program for studying reactive dynamic systems using a global potential energy surface (PES) built from previously existing PESs corresponding to each of the most important elementary reactions present in the system. We present an application to the combustion dynamics of a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen using accurate PESs for all the systems involving up to four oxygen and hydrogen atoms. Results at the temperature of 4000 K and pressure of 2 atm are presented and compared with model based on rate constants.

Potential energy surface for H2O((3)A(")) from accurate ab initio data with inclusion of long-range interactions.

A new potential energy surface for the O((3)P) + H(2) system in the lowest (3)A(") state is built using ab initio data calculated by Rogers et al. [J. Phys.
