Relationship between frequency of infectious human immunodeficiency virus type 1-harboring cells and kinetics of viral replication: a simple procedure for quantitation of infectious virus-carrying cells in blood samples.

abstract：:A total of 221 isolates of multidrug-resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium in Japan were characterized in the present study. The results revealed that clonal serovar Typhimurium definitive phage type 104 strains prevailed and that these strains had drug resistance patterns, integron types, and pulsed-field...
