Background: is a significant pathogens of foodborne illness. The widespread use of antibiotics in clinical practice and animal husbandry has resulted in increasing drug resistance of . In this study, we examined the serotype distribution and drug resistance of in pediatric patients with diarrhea in Chenzhou City to provide a basis for the scientific control and rational use of antibiotics in clinical practice in relation to .

However, the number of CDI cases in children has also significantly increased, especially the growth of community-acquired CDI, which has attracted attention. This study was conducted to examine the toxin gene characteristics and the risk factors associated with community-acquired CDI (CA-CDI) in children with diarrhea.

Excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) molecules has been using as a variety of functionalityled molecular systems. To investigate the relationship between the electron-donor substitution and luminescent properties of ESIPT luminogens, four 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl) benzothiazole derivatives with donor-π-acceptor (D-π-A)-structured were synthesized. The distinct fluorescence properties of them were found to be highly dependent on the electron-donor moiety (triphenylamine and anthracenyl), its substituent position (para and meta position) and solvent polarity.

The anti-malarial drug artemisinin is extracted from the leaves of Artemisia annua L. Due to toxicity to some microorganisms, the release of artemisinin from this medicinal plant in commercial cultivation might produce a potential risk for phosphorus (P) solubilizing bacteria (PSB). Therefore, the growth, P mobilization, and proton and organic acid efflux by two PSB isolates, Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas fluorescens, obtained from the soil without growing A.

A need exists to develop a compelling "business case" from the employer perspective to put, and keep, the issue of racial/ethnic disparities in health care on the quality improvement agenda for health plans and providers.
Methods: To illustrate a method for calculating an employer business case for disparity reduction and to compare the business case in two clinical areas, we conducted analyses of the direct (medical care costs paid by employers) and indirect (absenteeism, productivity) effects of eliminating known racial/ethnic disparities in mammography screening and appropriate medication use for patients with asthma.
