    No full text
    <p>The dashed lines represent the sensitivity of the subset of samples tested by VNT of both Cohorts 1 and 5 (Fully vaccinated children and Healthcare workers). The solid line corresponds to the sensitivity of the complete Cohorts 1–5.</p

    Age-related differences in poliovirus immunity as determined by ELISA.

    No full text
    <p>(A) Differences in age between seronegative and seropositive blood donors and (B) age-stratified anti- poliovirus antibody levels in blood donors. The regression line and the confidence interval (shaded) are shown. (C) Differences in median antibody levels between fully vaccinated children (Cohort 1) and blood donors (Cohort 4).</p

    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

    <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.
