(Hindawi, 2011)
Forty strains of H. fennelliae collected from paediatric blood and stool samples over an 18 year period at a children's hospital in
Cape Town, South Africa, were amplified by PCR of the 16S rRNA. Two distinct genotypes ...
Antimicrobial activities of a novel biflavonoid and other constituents from Rhus natalensis
(Academic Journals, 2013)
Phytochemical studies on Rhus natalensis root bark collected from Kenya led to the isolation and
identification of a new biflavonoid (3-(1-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3,3-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-oxopropan-2-
yl)-7-methoxy-4H-ch ...
Long-term eclipse timing of white dwarf binaries: an observational hint of a magnetic mechanism at work
(Oxford University Press, 2016)
We present a long-term programme for timing the eclipses of white dwarfs in close binaries to measure apparent and/or real variations in their orbital periods. Our programme includes 67 close binaries, both detached and ...
Additive antibacterial activity of naringenin and antibiotic combinations against multidrug resistant Staphylococcus aureus
(Academic Journals, 2015)
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus has been causing numerous problems in the health care
sector. This is mainly due to its ability to develop resistance to a number of antibiotics used to treat
staphylococcal ...
Multilocus sequence typing methods for the emerging Campylobacter species C. hyointestinalis, C. lanienae, C. sputorum, C. concisus, and C. curvus
(Frontiers Media, 2012)
Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) systems have been reported previously for multiple food - and food animal-associated Campylobacter species (e.g., C. jejuni, C. coli, C. lari, and C. fetus) to both differentiate strains ...

Designing mobile phone interfaces for age diversity in South Africa: “One-World” versus diverse “Islands”
(Springer, 2013)
Designing for diversity is a laudable aim. How to achieve this, in the
context of mobile phone usage by South African seniors, is a moot point. We
considered this question from two possible perspectives: universal ...
