Methicillin resistance, mediated by the mecA gene in staphylococci and mammaliicocci, has caused tremendous setbacks in the use of antibiotics in human and veterinary medicine due to its high potential of presenting the multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype.Three other mec analogs exist, of which the mecC has evolutionary been associated with methic
This study demonstrates the use of phosphor-screen autoradiography as a means of measuring cell adhesion and cell expansion on polymer surfaces.The method has particular merit in cases where a specific substrate may be opaque or biochemically incompatible with colorimetric assay methodologies.With the phosphor-screen autoradiography method, there w
The contagiosity of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has startled mankind and has brought our lives to a standstill.The treatment focused mainly on repurposed immunomodulatory and antiviral agents along with the availability of a few vaccines for prophylaxis to vanquish COVID-19.This seemingly mandates a deeper understan
Medium-voltage distribution systems (MVDSs) mainly consist of a feeder head, lines, distribution transformers, and the equivalent load or power supply interfaced with the distribution transformers.The information of such load or power supply can be measured via the three-wattmeter method (THM) and the two-wattmeter method (TWM).The measurements can
