They explore the role of livestock production systems in the epidemiology of antibacterial resistance (ABR) in sympatric human and livestock populations, which is poorly understood. Here, they examine ABR at the farmer-pig interface of Uganda, where the pig sector is rapidly growing, to quantify rates of resistance, understand associated human- and livestock-related factors, and investigate cross-species transmission.
The motivation of this is to improve our understanding of the role of livestock production systems in the emergence and transmission of AMR, this paper uses phenotypic resistance profile from sentinel bacteria E.coli and Klebsiella, recovered from a faecal sample collected from farmers and their pigs across a one-year longitudinal study. This is mapped to AMR gene carriage of four selected genes measured using QPCR. Using the Metadata, they examine drivers of resistance in this setting, and also use the prevalence and sharing of MDR profiles to infer transmission.There are three main datasets: Metadata, Phenotype and Qpcr datases.

METADATA.csv has 476 rows and 14 columns.
This data set is named FLF_PHENOTYPE DATA. It contains 8 columns and 2830 rows This data is output from analysis of bacteria culture from farmers and thier pigs in the one year longitudinal study. We collected these sample 6 times growing three bacteria E.coli, Klebsiella and Salmonella.
Pig and Human ID, SAMPLE ID E.G KLAMAK011P (The first three letters= District; second three letter= Sub county; the two number digit= household; next number= visit number; last number= the host, Pig or Human)
Controls:
E.g. KLANANCTR021. CRT= control; 02= Negative control; 01= Positive control; last number= visit number.
For analysis, use column 3: SAMPLE_ID2. We often generate variables out of the ID as data integrity validation process, usually in a data set as ID3.
SETTING= District (Urban=Kampala (intensive & semi intensive pig), Rural= Mubende (free range or semi free range));
Subcounty= administrative division in the district;
SAMPLING= the visit time (1-6);
Species= the Host (Human or Pig);
Isolate= tracking number for the laboratory;
Bacteria= the Bacteria isolated.
Antibiotics, these will have three states (R,I,S)= resistant, intermediate and susceptible.
Note that, we did not have results for Imipenem for the first sampling poin

Repurposing data to support livestock disease control in developing countries
No full textThe use of network analysis to support livestock disease control in low middle-income countries (LMICs) has historically been hampered by the cost of generating empirical data in the absence of animal movement recording schemes. To fill this gap, we have adopted methods which exploit freely available demographic and archived molecular data to generate livestock networks based on phylogeographic and gravity modelling techniques. We compare output from these network methodologies to empirical and randomly generated data. We simulate disease scenarios on the networks to evaluate the potential utility of our methodologies to inform robust livestock disease control strategies.
The molecular network was the closest approximation to the empirical network, both in relation to topological and epidemic characteristics. The gravity network tended to overestimated disease epidemics. However, better agreement across all three networks was observed if less specific epidemic characteristics such as the size of outbreak were investigated. Moreover, these methods consistently identified the same important animal movement and trade hotspots as the empirical networks. We therefore consider this proof-of-concept that demographic data such as censuses and archived molecular data could be repurposed to inform livestock disease management in LMICs

ADRIAN POP - IN SEARCH OF A LONG LOST SMILE
Full text linkAn anniversary, especially in the case of a generation colleague, the renowned composer Adrian Pop, generates the remembrance of a long series of musical events that have become notorious, with works included in the national and international concert repertoire. The avoidance of nostalgic memories made that a stage miniature be chosen for the present paper, an incursion of the author into the naive world of childhood reading. The result was a modern, glamorous musical transposition of a sequence with Max and Moritz, the playful heroes created by the famous humorist and cartoonist Wilhelm Busch in the middle of the 19th century. The musical act Onkel Fritz by Adrian Pop was first performed in Cluj in 2016, on October 22, on the occasion of his previous anniversary, within the Cluj Musical Autumn Festival. The graceful performers of the act, presented under the title “Anniversaries at the Festival, Adrian Pop compositional portrait”, were soprano Mihaela Maxim, in the role of Max and pianist Eva Butean, in the role of Moritz. How did composer Adrian Pop manage to musically enliven a 150 years old humorous story? The author of the following text will try to answer this question.
Rezumat. ADRIAN POP - ÎN CĂUTAREA SURÂSULUI PIERDUT. O aniversare, mai ales în cazul unui coleg de generație, reputatul compozitor Adrian Pop, generează rememorarea unui lung șir de evenimente muzicale devenite notorii, cu lucrări intrate în repertoriul intern și internațional de concerte. Evitarea unor memorii nostalgice au făcut ca sorții acestei comunicări să cadă asupra unei miniaturi scenice, o incursiune a autorului în lumea ingenuă a lecturilor din copilărie. A rezultat o transpunere muzicală modernă, plină de farmec, a unei secvențe cu Max și Moritz, eroii poznași creați de celebrul umorist și caricaturist Wilhelm Busch la mijlocul secolului XIX. Prima audiție clujeană a scenetei muzicale Onkel Fritz de Adrian Pop a avut loc în 2016, la 22 octombrie, cu ocazia precedentei sale aniversări, în cadrul Toamnei Muzicale Clujene. Interpreții plini de har ai scenetei prezentate sub genericul „Aniversări în Festival, portret componistic Adrian Pop” au fost soprana Mihaela Maxim, în rolul lui Max și pianista Eva Butean, în rolul lui Moritz. Oare cum a reușit compozitorul Adrian Pop să însuflețească muzical o poveste umoristică de 150 de ani? La această întrebare va încerca să răspundă autoarea acestor rânduri.
