GENOMIC PROFILING OF EXTENDED-SPECTRUM β-LACTAMASE-PRODUCING ESCHERICHIA COLI FROM PETS IN THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES: UNVEILING COLISTIN RESISTANCE MEDIATED BY MCR-1.1 AND ITS PROBABLE TRANSMISSION FROM CHICKEN MEAT – A ONE HEALTH PERSPECTIVE

Background: The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has witnessed rapid urbanization and a surge in pet ownership, sparking concerns about the possible transfer of antimicrobial resistance BERGAMOT (AMR) from pets to humans and the environment.This study delves into the whole-genome sequencing analysis of ESBL-producing E.coli strains from healthy cats and

Zoonotic transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from infected humans to other animals has been documented around the world, most notably in mink farming operations in Europe and the United States.Outbreaks of SARS-CoV-2 on Utah mink farms began in late July 2020 and resulted in high mink mortality.An investigation of these outbreaks revealed active and past BE

Three models with different footing types were used to clarify the effect of heave plates on the hydrodynamic Shatavari behavior of the elastic response of a flexible multicolumn floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT).The models were tested under regular waves, whose added mass, damping, and motion response results were compared with numerical simul

This work proposes a signal processing algorithm to analyse the optical signal from a Low Coherence Interferometric (LCI) system.The system uses a Mach-Zehnder (MZ) interferometer to interrogate a Fabry-Perot cavity, working as an optical sensor.This algorithm is based on the correlation and convolution operations, which allows the signal to be rec

Abstract Background Sickness absence, work disability associated with illness or injury, is a major public health problem worldwide.Some studies have investigated determinants of sickness absence among workers with shorter job tenure, but have only focused on certain diagnostic groups.Although it is well established that job tenure has an inverse r
