WHOLE-GENOME ANALYSIS SHOWED THE PROMOTION OF GENETIC DIVERSITY AND COEVOLUTION IN STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS LYTIC BACTERIOPHAGES AND THEIR HOSTS MEDIATED BY PROPHAGES VIA WORLDWIDE RECOMBINATION EVENTS

Whole-genome analysis showed the promotion of genetic diversity and coevolution in Staphylococcus aureus lytic bacteriophages and their hosts mediated by prophages via worldwide recombination events

Prophages as a part of Staphylococcus aureus genome contribute to the genetic diversity as well as survival strategies of their host.Some S.aureus prophages also have an imminent risk of host cell lysis and become a lytic phage.Nonetheless, interactions among S.aureus prophages, lytic phages, and their hosts, as well as the genetic diversity of S.a

Functional determinants of radial operators in AdS 2

Abstract We study the zeta-function regularization of functional determinants of Laplace and Dirac-type operators in two-dimensional Euclidean AdS 2 space.More specifically, we consider the ratio of determinants between an operator in the presence of background fields with circular symmetry and the free operator in which the background fields are a

Intrabiliary and abdominal rupture of hepatic hydatid cyst leading to biliary obstruction, cholangitis, pancreatitis, peritonitis and septicemia: a case report

Abstract Background Hydatid cysts are fluid-filled sacs containing immature forms of parastic tapeworms of the genus Echinococcus.The most prevalent and serious complication of hydatid disease is intrabiliary rupture, also known as cystobiliary fistulae.In this study, a sporadic case of biliary obstruction, cholangitis, and septicemia is described
