A CLINICAL CASE OF SCRUB TYPHUS IN THE UNITED STATES FORCES KOREA PATIENT WITH ESCHAR AND GENETIC IDENTIFICATION OF ORIENTIA TSUTSUGAMUSHI USING MULTIPLEX PCR-BASED NEXT-GENERATION SEQUENCING

An epidemiological investigation was conducted for a scrub typhus case reported in a U.S.Forces Korea military patient in the Republic of Korea in November 2018.The patient had a fever, maculopapular rash, and Antistatic Wipes an eschar.The full-length sequence of Orientia tsutsugamushi 56-kDa type-specific antigen (TSA) gene was obtained from esch

When Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis responds to heat-shock, protein arginine kinase McsB Molybdenum phosphorylates Arg62 (R) in the clpC operon binding region of transcription factor CtsR, leading to dissociation of CtsR and clpC operon and initiation of stress-genes transcription for the ensuing expression of heat-shock proteins.This wo

Despite the increased risks of cancers and cardiovascular related diseases, tobacco smoking continues to be prevalent in the population due largely in part to the addictive nature of Card Organizer nicotine.Nicotine vaccines are an attractive alternative to the current smoking cessation options but have yet to be successful enough in clinical trial

This study evaluated the effects of gliricidia hay inclusion in the total mixed rations made from giant forage cactus on the fermentative profile, losses, chemical composition, and aerobic stability.The completely randomized design was adopted with five treatments (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20% of gliricidia hay inclusion on a natural matter-NM basis) and
