Exhibiting the West at the Paris Exposition of 1867: Towards a New American Aesthetic Identity? by François Brunet, Jessica Talley

“…The Paris Exposition of 1867 seems to have been a pivotal moment in the use of geographical imageries, and their ability to link economic and aesthetic values. In the context of this Exposition western photography, natural specimens and material culture of the post-Civil War era contributed to renovating the French and European view of America—substituting specific objects and pictures for an abstract idea and creating, for the first time perhaps, a strong aesthetic appeal for American pictures that were no longer the clichés understood by the phrase “American images.”…”

Development of New Tools to Detect Colistin-Resistance among Enterobacteriaceae Strains by Lucie Bardet, Jean-Marc Rolain

“…Currently, phenotypic methods used to detect colistin resistance are not necessarily suitable as the main characteristic of the mcr genes is the low level of resistance that they confer, close to the clinical breakpoint recommended jointly by the CLSI and EUCAST expert systems (S ≤ 2 mg/L and R > 2 mg/L). In this context, susceptibility testing recommendations for polymyxins have evolved and are becoming difficult to implement in routine laboratory work. …”
