Emergence Of Oxacillin Resistance In Stealth Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Due To Meca Sequence Instability, Richard V. Goering, Erin A. Swartzendriber, Anne E. Obradovich, Isabella A. Tickler, Fred C. Tenover Jul 2019

Emergence Of Oxacillin Resistance In Stealth Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Due To Meca Sequence Instability, Richard V. Goering, Erin A. Swartzendriber, Anne E. Obradovich, Isabella A. Tickler, Fred C. Tenover

Biology Faculty Publications

Staphylococcus aureus strains that possess a mecA gene but are phenotypically susceptible to oxacillin and cefoxitin (OS-MRSA) have been recognized for over a decade and are a challenge for diagnostic laboratories. The mechanisms underlying the discrepancy vary from isolate to isolate. We characterized seven OS-MRSA clinical isolates of six different spa types from six different states by whole-genome sequencing to identify the nucleotide sequence changes leading to the OS-MRSA phenotype. The results demonstrated that oxacillin susceptibility was associated with mutations in regions of nucleotide repeats within mecA. Subinhibitory antibiotic exposure selected for secondary mecA mutations that restored oxacillin resistance. …

My Looney Lunar Moon Landing Dinner, Ann Green

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

The space program has orbited around my imagination from its first blast-off. So when the 50th anniversary of the moon landing rolled around, I had to celebrate. I invited friends -fellow space nerds -for a moon landing dinner. I had so much fun preparing for this event. I was going to make moon pies, which seemed an obvious choice, but I got lazy. So I shopped around for foods which sounded spacey.

Soaring To The Heavens: Faithful To The Common Goods, Kelly Adamson

Taking Flight: Developing Leaders for the Common Good

As increasing numbers of young adults identify as spiritual but not religious and as student bodies become increasingly religiously diverse, how do we at Catholic colleges and universities take seriously the call of the Church for greater attention to evangelization; the call of our institutions for rootedness in our Catholic charisms and commitment to diversity equity and inclusion; and the needs of our world for citizens who are (multi)religiously literate and sensitive? How might we contribute to these common goods and soar to greater heights through campus collaboration? This workshop will address these contemporary needs for campus ministry and partners …

Teaching Healthy Romantic Relationships: An Exploration Of Institutional Strategies And Assessment Methods, Conway Campbell Jul 2019

Teaching Healthy Romantic Relationships: An Exploration Of Institutional Strategies And Assessment Methods, Conway Campbell

Taking Flight: Developing Leaders for the Common Good

A comprehensive education consists of enlightening the mind, building character, and teaching traditional-age undergraduate students to make sound, healthy decisions with respect to romantic relationships. However, at many higher education institutions, a major shift has occurred regarding this type of education. Cognition has taken precedence over character formation, and what once was a seamless connection between the two values is no longer a priority. Currently, one of many issues facing administrators at institutions of higher education is student decision making about healthy romantic relationships. Therefore, this session will share strategies currently employed at Catholic colleges in the Northeast to teach …
