Article Synopsis
- The study examines PAH pollution in urban soils in Shizuishan City, analyzing 156 surface soil samples to understand its spatial distribution across various urban functional areas.
- Results show that traffic areas have the highest PAH levels (1217.61 ng·g), followed by industrial and park areas, with most samples indicating low to no pollution risk.
- The main sources of PAHs were identified as traffic emissions and coal combustion, suggesting that urban planning and pollution control could be informed by these findings to improve soil health.
Background: Bloodstream infection is not uncommon in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) and is associated with mortality, graft loss, and increased medical expenses. Whether these septic patients are more vulnerable to serious complications, resistant strains, or worse clinical outcomes than other patient groups in the community-onset settings remains undetermined.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at a medical center in southern Taiwan.
Background: Clinical information about bacteremic pneumonia caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing organism is limited.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at two medical centers in Taiwan. From May 2002 to August 2010, clinical information and outcome of adults with bacteremic pneumonia caused by ESBL-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were analyzed.
To efficiently produce short-chain-length-medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoates copolymer from substrate mixture containing sugars and/or fatty acids, fadA gene mutant was constructed in Escherichia coli DH5α phosphotransferase system (PTS) disrupted strain. Plasmids pCJY02, pBHR68 and pBHR71 were separately introduced into E. coli DH5α (ΔptsG, ΔFadA) by transformation, then the recombinants were cultivated in the medium containing glucose and/or decanoate as carbon resource, respectively.
