  2. International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Code_of...

    There is a single type strain for each prokaryotic species, but different culture collections may designate a unique name for the same strain. For example, the type strain of E. coli (originally strain U5/41) is called ATCC 11775 by the American Type Culture Collection, DSM 30083 by the German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures, JCM ...

  3. Vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vancomycin-resistant...

    The diagnosis of vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) is performed by performing susceptibility testing on a single S. aureus isolate to vancomycin. This is accomplished by first assessing the isolate's minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) using standard laboratory methods, including disc diffusion, gradient strip diffusion, and automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing ...

    have had group B streptococcal colonization, bacteriuria, or infection in a previous pregnancy, and have not had a negative test for group B streptococcus by enrichment culture or PCR on a rectovaginal swab sample collected between 35 and 37 weeks' gestation or 3-5 weeks before the anticipated delivery date in the current pregnancy or

  6. General strain theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_strain_theory

    [1] [2] [3] General strain theory has gained a significant amount of academic attention since being developed in 1992. [4] Robert Agnew's general strain theory is considered to be a solid theory, has accumulated a significant amount of empirical evidence, and has also expanded its primary scope by offering explanations of phenomena outside of ...

  7. Cas9 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cas9

    Cas9 (CRISPR associated protein 9, formerly called Cas5, Csn1, or Csx12) is a 160 kilodalton protein which plays a vital role in the immunological defense of certain bacteria against DNA viruses and plasmids, and is heavily utilized in genetic engineering applications.

  8. Histone code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histone_code

    However, some specific examples have been worked out in detail. For example, phosphorylation of serine residues 10 and 28 on histone H3 is a marker for chromosomal condensation. Similarly, the combination of phosphorylation of serine residue 10 and acetylation of a lysine residue 14 on histone H3 is a tell-tale sign of active transcription .

  9. Variable-length code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-length_code

    Other commonly used names for this concept are prefix-free code, instantaneous code, or context-free code. The example mapping M 3 {\displaystyle M_{3}} above is not a prefix code because we do not know after reading the bit string "0" whether it encodes an "a" source symbol, or if it is the prefix of the encodings of the "b" or "c" symbols.
