Contribution of machine learning for subspecies identification from Mycobacterium abscessus with MALDI-TOF MS in solid and liquid media.

Mycobacterium abscessus (MABS) displays differential subspecies susceptibility to macrolides. Thus, identifying MABS's subspecies (M. abscessus, M.

Klebsiella pneumoniae Carbapenemase Variants Resistant to Ceftazidime-Avibactam: an Evolutionary Overview.

First variants of the Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC), KPC-2 and KPC-3, have encountered a worldwide success, particularly in K. pneumoniae isolates. These beta-lactamases conferred resistance to most beta-lactams including carbapenems but remained susceptible to new beta-lactam/beta-lactamase inhibitors, such as ceftazidime-avibactam.

Genetic and Phenotypic Study of the Beta-Lactamase, the Enzyme Most Similar to the Plasmid-Encoded TEM-1.

Genus bacteria include important agricultural pathogens. Pectobacterium versatile isolates contain a chromosome-borne beta-lactamase, PEC-1. This enzyme is the closest relative of TEM-1, a plasmid-borne beta-lactamase widespread in the .

[Electrophoresis of serum lipoproteins (lipoproteinogram) with the Hydragel Lipo + Lp(a)® (Sebia) kit: evaluation of Fat Red 7B staining].

The lipoproteinogram (or lipidogram) consists in an electrophoretic separation of the main classes of serum lipoproteins. Separation was done in agarose gel using the Sebia Hydragel Lipo + Lp(a)® kit. A repeatability study (n=6) was conducted on 3 sera (1 normolipidemic, 1 hypertriglyceridemic and 1 with a high Lp(a) concentration).
