Abstract:
The blaPER-2-harboring plasmid pCf587 (191,541 bp) belongs to lineage IncA/C1 and is closely related to pRA1. It contains a large resistance island including the blaPER-2 gene between two copies of ISKox2-like elements, the toxin-antitoxin module pemK-pemI, several other resistance genes inserted within a Tn2 transposon, a Tn21-like structure, and a class 1 integron. pCf587 belongs to sequence type 13 (ST13), a new plasmid multilocus sequence typing (pMLST) ST.

Magnetic Force On A Current-Carrying Conductor
Consider a compass placed near a current-carrying wire. The wire experiences a force that aligns the needle of the compass tangentially around the wire. Thus, the current-carrying wire produces concentric circular loops of magnetic field. The magnetic field generated by a wire can be...
