Linking nanomaterial-induced mitochondrial dysfunction to existing adverse outcome pathways for chemicals.
(AOP) framework plays a crucial role in the paradigm shift of toxicity testing towards the development and use of new approach methodologies. AOP s developed for chemicals are in theory applicable to ...
Persistence of the Staphylococcus aureus epidemic European fusidic acid-resistant impetigo clone (EEFIC) in Belgium.
encoding the Panton-Valentine leucocidin, the toxic shock syndrome toxin and the exfoliatins A and B. MLST clonal complexes were deduced from the spa types. RESULTS: Among the 518 S. aureus strains analysed, ...
Whole-Genome Sequencing-Based Screening of MRSA in Patients and Healthcare Workers in Public Hospitals in Benin.
virulence genes, including the genes encoding the Panton-Valentine leukocidin toxin (48.15%, n = 13/27), and the gene (29.63%, n = 8/27), associated with toxic shock syndrome. This study highlights the need ...
