ABSTRACT Laribacter hongkongensis, a newly discovered bacterium recently shown to be associated with community-acquired gastroenteritis, is generally resistant to most β-lactams except the carbapenems. We describe the cloning and characterization of a novel chromosomal class C β-lactamase and its regulatory gene in L. hongkongensis. Two genes, ampC and ampR, were cloned by inserting restriction fragments of genomic DNA from L. hongkongensis strain HLHK5 into pBK-CMV to give the recombinant plasmid pBK-LHK-5. The ampR and ampC genes and their promoters were divergently oriented, with the ampR gene immediately upstream of the ampC gene and an intercistronic Lys-R motif, typical of inducible ampC-ampR regulatory systems. The deduced amino acid sequence of the cloned AmpC β-lactamase (pI 8.1) contained consensus motifs characteristic of class C β-lactamases but had identities no greater than 46% to known class C β-lactamases. The kinetic properties of this AmpC were also compatible with those of a class C β-lactamase. PCR of 20 clinical isolates of L. hongkongensis, including HLHK5, showed the presence of both ampC and ampR genes in all isolates. Southern hybridization suggested that the ampC gene of HLHK5 was chromosomally encoded. Subcloning experiments showed that the expression of the ampC gene of HLHK5 was regulated by its ampR gene, which acts as a repressor. The β-lactamase characterized from strain HLHK5 was named LHK-5 (gene, bla LHK-5) and represents the first example of AmpC β-lactamase in the β subdivision of proteobacteria.

Abstract Experimental studies of the subsonic combustion process have been conducted in order to determine the quality and economics of polyester, epoxy, urethane, and hybrid polyester-epoxy coatings. Thermally sprayed polymer coatings are of interest to several industries for anti-corrosion applications, including the infrastructural, chemical, automotive, and aircraft industries. Classical experiments were conducted, from which a substantial range of thermal processing conditions and their effect on the resultant coating were obtained. The coatings were characterized and evaluated by a number of techniques, including Knoop microhardness tests, optical metallography, image analysis, and bond strength. Characterization of the coatings yielded thickness, bond strength, hardness, and porosity.

Engineering characterization which are useful for "temperate" zone soils usually fail to predict the field performance of bauxitic soils, because the index tests upon which the characterization are based are not always reproducible for bauxitic soils. Fifteen (15) bauxitic soil of undisturbed and disturbed samples from 3 distinct sites in Kuantan, all derived from basalt parent rock but representing various stages of weathering were subjected to engineering and mineralogic tests. Values for cohesion and friction angles are evaluated. Soils from Semambu has the highest moisture content of 33.27%, the cohesion value is however lower compared to Bukit Goh which has moisture content of 21.74%. Study are further done to discover the relationship with cohesion and friction angles. Thus, by measuring the cohesion and friction angle can evaluate the performance of bauxite shear strength.
