DECODING A CRYPTIC MECHANISM OF METRONIDAZOLE RESISTANCE AMONG GLOBALLY DISSEMINATED FLUOROQUINOLONE-RESISTANT CLOSTRIDIOIDES DIFFICILE

Decoding a cryptic mechanism of metronidazole resistance among globally disseminated fluoroquinolone-resistant Clostridioides difficile

Abstract Severe outbreaks and deaths have been linked to the emergence and global spread of fluoroquinolone-resistant Clostridioides difficile over the past two decades.At the same time, metronidazole, a nitro-containing antibiotic, has shown decreasing clinical efficacy in treating C.difficile infection (CDI).Most metronidazole-resistant C.diffici

Efficient Obstacle Detection and Tracking Using RGB-D Sensor Data in Dynamic Environments for Robotic Applications

Obstacle detection is an essential task for the autonomous navigation by robots.The task becomes more complex in a dynamic and cluttered environment.In this context, the RGB-D camera sensor is one of the most common devices that provides a quick and reasonable estimation of the environment in the form of RGB and depth images.This work proposes an e

Hafnium dinitride/poly(9-vinylcarbazole) heterojunction: Structural, electronic, optical and vibrational properties. A DFT and DFPT study

Photosensitivity of semiconducting polymers can be enhanced by blending donor and acceptor polymers to optimize photoinduced charge separation.With a motivation to understand microscopic aspects of HfN2 and PVK relevant to optoelectronic properties of transition metal-dinitride/semiconductor interfaces, we examined their structural, electronic, opt
