A New Restriction Endonuclease-Based Method for Highly-Specific Detection of DNA Targets from Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus by Maria W. Smith (18807382)

“…Sequences of target oligonucleotides were altered to demonstrate that (i) any mutation of the restriction site reduced the signal to zero; (ii) double and triple point mutations of sequences flanking the restriction site reduced restriction to 50–80% of the positive control; and (iii) a minimum of a 16-bp target-probe dsDNA hybrid was required for significant cleavage. Further experiments showed that the assay could detect the mecA amplicon from an unpurified PCR mixture with detection limits similar to those with standard fluorescence-based qPCR. …”

Whole-genome sequencing based molecular characterization of multi-drug resistant isolates of Enterobacter spp. and Klebsiella aerogenes in Lebanon. (c2019) by Merhi, Georgi S.

“…Results were further confirmed through complimentary PCR assays and plasmid-based replicon typing (PBRT). Phylogenetic relatedness was assessed through whole-genome average nucleotide identity (wgANI) and core-genome single nucleotide polymorphism (cgSNP) based phylogenetic analysis. …”

Association Between Three-Months Vitamin D Supplementation and Depressive Symptomatology incidence among Saudi Arabian Adults by Khaddaj, Rashel

“…Furthermore, the change between both groups was significantly different (-7.61 ±4.03 in the Vitamin D group, -3.50±1.54 in the control group; p=<0.001) Conclusion: The present study shows thata 50.000 IU/week dose of vitamin D supplementation for 3 months was enough to increase vitamin D levels beyond sufficient and decrease depression symptoms in Saudi Arabian Adults. …”
