MULTI-LOCUS NEXT-GENERATION SEQUENCE TYPING OF DNA EXTRACTED FROM POOLED COLONIES DETECTS MULTIPLE UNRELATED CANDIDA ALBICANS STRAINS IN A SIGNIFICANT PROPORTION OF PATIENT SAMPLES

The yeast Candida albicans is an important opportunistic human pathogen.For C.albicans strain typing or drug susceptibility testing, a single colony recovered from a patient sample is normally used.This is insufficient when multiple strains are present at the site sampled.How often this is the case is unclear.Previous studies, confined to oral, vag

The bleeding of cementitious materials corresponds to the settlement of the granular skeleton accompanied by the accumulation of water at the surface (bleed water).Part of this water (internal bleeding) remains trapped under the aggregates (sand or gravel) or the reinforcements.The excess of this trapped water can weaken the bond between the cement

Using data from 2005 to 2016, this paper examines if players in the National Hockey League (NHL) are being paid a positive differential for their services due to the competition from the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) and the Swedish Hockey League (SHL).In order to control for performance, we use two different large datasets, (N = 4046) and (N = 1
