Characterization of a Novel Sequence Type (ST) 6758 Klebsiella Pneumoniae and the Role of IncX3 Plasmid in the Transmission of blaNDM
No full textYawen Zhang,* Qiao Li,* Lirong Li, Hao Guo, Fang He Laboratory Medicine Center, Department of Clinical Laboratory, Zhejiang Provincial People’s Hospital (Affiliated People’s Hospital), Hangzhou Medical College, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, 310014, People’s Republic of China*These authors contributed equally to this workCorrespondence: Fang He, Email [email protected]: Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) has emerged as a significant public health threat, particularly as a superbug responsible for nosocomial infections. In this study, we report a novel sequence type 6758 of K. pneumoniae harboring the blaNDM-1 gene.Material and Methods: Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was conducted according to the guidelines of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). The complete genome sequence of the strain was determined using the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform and long-read MinION sequencer. Genomic features and resistance mechanisms of the strain were further comprehensively analysed using various bioinformatics approaches.Results: Antimicrobial susceptibility testing revealed that this strain exhibited resistance to multiple antimicrobials, including ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, cefazolin, cefepime, imipenem, meropenem, ampicillin/sulbactam, and sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim. The genome analysis identified sixteen resistance genes. The blaNDM-1 carbapenemase gene is located on a 47,823 bp IncX3-type plasmid (pNDM-CRKP331). A total of 41 K. pneumoniae strains carrying similar IncX3-type plasmids were retrieved from the NCBI database, representing 20 sequence types (STs) across 11 countries. The most common resistance gene carried by these IncX3-type plasmids is blaNDM, and all these plasmids contain only the blaNDM gene. The blaNDM-carrying IncX3-type plasmids are widely prevalent in K. pneumoniae in China, spanning 15 STs.Conclusion: In summary, our study reports the first genome sequence of an ST 6758 K. pneumoniae strain containing the class B β-lactamase blaNDM-1 isolated from a clinical sample. Given the global emergence of blaNDM, measures should be taken to prevent the spread of these blaNDM-carrying IncX3-type plasmids. Our findings contribute to the understanding of the transmission mechanisms of blaNDM in K. pneumoniae.Keywords: carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, blaNDM-1, whole-genome sequencing, IncX3 type plasmid, ST675
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
