HIGH FREQUENCY AND DIVERSITY OF ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITIES PRODUCED BY NASAL STAPHYLOCOCCUS STRAINS AGAINST BACTERIAL COMPETITORS.

High Frequency and Diversity of Antimicrobial Activities Produced by Nasal Staphylococcus Strains against Bacterial Competitors.

The human nasal microbiota is highly variable and dynamic often enclosing major pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus.The potential roles of bacteriocins or other mechanisms allowing certain bacterial clones to prevail in this nutrient-poor habitat have hardly been studied.Of 89 nasal Staphylococcus isolates, unexpectedly, the vast majority (84%)

Triangle Distance IoU Loss, Attention-Weighted Feature Pyramid Network, and Rotated-SARShip Dataset for Arbitrary-Oriented SAR Ship Detection

In synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, ship targets are characterized by varying scales, large aspect ratios, dense arrangements, and arbitrary orientations.Current horizontal and rotation detectors fail to accurately recognize and locate ships due to the limitations of loss function, network structure, and training data.To overcome the challeng
