GENETIC HETEROGENEITY OF THE SPY1336/R28-SPY1337 VIRULENCE AXIS IN STREPTOCOCCUS PYOGENES AND EFFECT ON GENE TRANSCRIPT LEVELS AND PATHOGENESIS.

Genetic heterogeneity of the Spy1336/R28-Spy1337 virulence axis in Streptococcus pyogenes and effect on gene transcript levels and pathogenesis.

Streptococcus pyogenes is a strict human pathogen responsible for more than 700 million infections annually worldwide.Strains of serotype M28 S.pyogenes are typically among the five more abundant types causing invasive infections and pharyngitis in adults and children.Type M28 strains also have an unusual propensity to cause puerperal sepsis and ne

Predicting odor from vibrational spectra: a data-driven approach

Abstract This study investigates olfaction, a complex and not well-understood sensory modality.The chemical gotrax handlebar mechanism behind smell can be described by so far proposed two theories: vibrational and docking theories.The vibrational theory has been gaining acceptance lately but needs more extensive validation.To fill this gap for the
