Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage before breast reconstruction: antibiotic resistance, biofilm formation, and virulence genes—a single center in vitro observation by Sylwia Jarzynka, Anna Koryszewska-Bagińska, Tomasz Nowikiewicz, Tomasz Nowikiewicz, Anna Szczepańska, Gabriela Olędzka, Maria Szymankiewicz

“…These strains exhibited a high prevalence of genes encoding adhesion and antibiotic resistance. The most frequently detected virulence genes included sarA (100%), an activator of protein A; cna (100%), encoding collagen adhesin; blaZ (100%), associated with β-lactamase production; the icaADBC operon (82–100%), responsible for extracellular polysaccharide synthesis and intracellular adhesion; and bap (36%), encoding a surface-associated biofilm protein.ResultsMost isolates (79–100%) demonstrated a strong capacity for biofilm formation and exopolysaccharide production, confirmed by independent methods. …”

The interplay of contrast markers (‘but’), selectives (“topic markers”) and word order in the fuzzy oppositive contrast domain by Wälchli Bernhard

“…The fuzziness of oppositive contrast has major theoretical and methodological implications. The encoding of the domain neither follows strict universals nor is it maximally diverse (diversity is strongly constrained). …”
