Durable resistance or efficient disease control? Adult Plant Resistance (APR) at the heart of the dilemma by Rimbaud, Loup, Papaïx, Julien, Rey, Jean-François, Moury, Benoît, Barrett, Luke G., Thrall, Peter H.

“…Adult plant resistance (APR) is an incomplete and delayed protection of plants against pathogens. At first glance, such resistance should be less efficient than classical major-effect resistance genes, which confer complete resistance from seedling stage, to reduce epidemics. …”

Analysis of antibiotic sensitivity of clinical strains of microorganisms with the Russian Mueller–Hinton broth by Irina S. Kosilova, Lyubov V. Domotenko, Mikhail V. Khramov

“…One of the reasons for spreading antibiotic-resistant microorganisms is the uncontrolled use and inadequate empirical prescription of antibiotics which is not based on the results of the pathogen sensitivity testing. The broth dilution method and one of its implementation options, the reference microdilution method, in contrast to the disk diffusion method, allows testing virtually all pathogen-antibiotic combinations. …”
