To investigate the in vitro activities of cephamycins (cefmetazole and flomoxef) for extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)- and plasmid-mediated AmpC β-lactamase (pAmpC)-producing Enterobacteriaceae, a total of 574 third-generation cephalosporin-resis...
Motility is a fundamental characteristic of bacteria. Distinguishing between swarming and swimming, the two principal forms of bacterial movement, holds significant conceptual and clinical relevance. Conventionally, the detection of bacterial swarmin...
Maintaining high-quality drinking water supply reservoirs is important for protecting public health. Despite extensive watershed protection efforts, reservoirs can still experience seasonal, elevated total coliform bacteria concentrations, indicator ...
