Dendrogram of resistant <i>E. coli</i> isolates’ PFGE profiles.
<p>Generated by cluster analysis of the Dice similarity indices in the BioNumerics fingerprinting software (optimization 1%, band matching tolerance 1%, tolerance change 1%). Isolates marked with “cip” were obtained by cultivation on ciprofloxacin and harbored PMQR genes, isolates with “ctx” represent the CTX-M-15 producing <i>E. coli</i>. “H” isolate from human, “D” isolate from dog, “C” isolate from cat.</p
Characteristics of ESBL-producing isolates from villages.
<p>All isolates were obtained on MCA-cefotaxime.</p><p>“D” – isolate from dog, “H” – isolates from human, “C” – isolate from cat. “T” in brackets means that the resistance gene was successfully transformed into competent cells, “C” in brackets means that the gene was conjugated. Plasmids were isolated and characterized from isolates in bold font.

Reactivity of human sera to VP1 proteins of chimpanzee and human polyomaviruses.
<p>Antibody reactivity was assessed against 4 chimpanzee polyomaviruses (ChPyV, PtrovPyV3, PtrovPyV4 and PtrosPyV2) and 2 human polyomaviruses (HPyV9 and JCPyV) using sera from German (n = 111) and of plasma samples from Ivorian subjects (n = 115). Samples were analysed for seroreactivity with a capsomer-based IgG ELISA using the VP1 major capsid protein of the above polyomaviruses as antigens. The spread of absorbance measurement is shown with green and red dots (representing the German and Ivorian panels, respectively). COVs are shown as solid lines within the graph (COVs of Germans/Ivorians: ChPyV: 0.057/0.034; PtrovPyV3: 0.046/0.070; PtrovPyV4: 0.038/0.012; PtrosPyV2: 0.081/0.080; HPyV9: 0.089/0.066; JCPyV: 0.047/0.079).</p
