Background: Salmonella is one of the main causative agents of diarrhea which results in substantial disease burden. To determine the prevalence, serotype distribution, and antimicrobial resistance profiles of clinical Salmonella isolates in Shenzhen, a 6-year surveillance study was conducted.
Results: A total of 297 (5.
In this paper, we report the nonlinear magnetoelectric response in a homogenous magnetostrictive/piezoelectric laminate material. The proposed magnetoelectric stack FeCuNbSiB/piezofiber is made up of high-permeability magnetostrictive FeCuNbSiB foils and a piezoelectric Pb(Zr, Ti)O fiber composite. The time dependence of magnetoelectric interactions in the FeCuNbSiB/piezofiber structure driven by pulsed magnetic field was investigated in detail.

Methods: A total of 240 cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from 171 children meeting the case definition were included and screened for 12 common causative organisms.
