Transcription is the first step in gene expression in which genetic information is copied from a DNA to an RNA format. Transcription is controlled by proteins known as transcription factors that regulate the expression of genes.
The global threat of antimicrobial resistance has been recognized by the World Health Organization, the United Nations and many other expert bodies. The burden of resistant pathogens is immen...
Clostridium difficile is a major pathogen responsible for infectious diarrhea in healthcare settings. This presentation will review the data from a study comparing the new Simplexa® C. di...
