Phages EarickHC, Figueroism, FinalFrontier, SBlackberry, Skylord, and Slay were isolated from soil samples collected around Southern California using the host All six phages are lytic and have a siphoviral morphology. Genomes are 39,843 to 52,992 bp in length and contain 58 to 91 protein coding genes.

We analyzed the evolution of fosfomycin resistance in extrahospitalary E. coli urinary isolates and whether age and extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) production were associated to antibiotic resistance.

- An autonomous system is developed to remotely monitor reinforced concrete structures, focusing on the corrosion rate of rebars and other important parameters like temperature and electrical resistance.
- It utilizes a novel low-stress electrochemical polarization technique with embedded sensors and a custom electronic system for data management, which uploads results via a 4G connection.
- The system successfully monitored corrosion parameters in a reinforced concrete wall, providing valuable data for predicting structural maintenance needs and service life.
Objective: Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) depletion/deletions syndrome (MDDS) comprises a group of diseases caused by primary autosomal defects of mtDNA maintenance. Our objective was to study the etiology of MDDS in 4 patients who lack pathogenic variants in known genetic causes.
Methods: Whole exome sequencing of the probands was performed to identify pathogenic variants.
