HUMAN MICROBIOTA DRIVES HOSPITAL-ASSOCIATED ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE DISSEMINATION IN THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT AND MIRRORS PATIENT CASE RATES

Human microbiota drives hospital-associated antimicrobial resistance dissemination in the urban environment and mirrors patient case rates

Abstract Background The microbial community composition of urban environments is primarily determined by human activity.The use of metagenomics to explore how microbial communities are shaped in a city provides a novel input that can improve decisions on public health measures, architectural design, and urban resilience.Of note, the sewage system i

Comparing neutron and X-ray images from NIF implosions

Directly laser driven and X-radiation driven DT filled capsules differ in the relationship between neutron and X-ray images.Shot N110217, a directly driven DT-filled glass micro-balloon provided the first neutron images at the National Ignition Facility.As seen in implosions on the Omega laser, the neutron image can be enclosed inside time integrat
