SYSTEMATIC EVALUATION OF WHOLE-GENOME SEQUENCING BASED PREDICTION OF ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE IN CAMPYLOBACTER JEJUNI AND C. COLI

Systematic Evaluation of Whole-Genome Sequencing Based Prediction of Antimicrobial Resistance in Campylobacter jejuni and C. coli

The increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Campylobacter spp.is a global concern.This study evaluated the use of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to predict AMR in Campylobacter jejuni and apac1/60/1/cw C.coli.A panel of 271 isolates recovered from Canadian poultry was used to compare AMR genotype to antimicrobial susceptibility te

Failure Analysis of a Centrifugal Compressor Impeller Made of 17-4PH Steel in the Moist Hydrogen Sulfide Environment

The impeller under consideration is a rotor wheel of a centrifugal compressor, made of 17-4PH martensitic precipitated hardening stainless steel.Its total operating lifetime was estimated to 80,000 h, but it fractured beforehand, 4 days after the scheduled overhaul without any observed pre-symptoms.The important causes of the failure were its worki
