Objective/UNASSIGNED:activity of apramycin against clinical CR-hvKp along with carbapenem-resistant non-hvKp (CR-non-hvKp) isolates. Methods/UNASSIGNED:sequencing) and antimicrobial resistance genes were examined by PCR and Sanger sequencing. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and next generation sequencing were conducted on selected isolates. Results/UNASSIGNED:. Conclusion/UNASSIGNED:activity against CR-hvKp isolates, including those were resistant to amikacin or gentamicin. Further studies are needed to evaluate the applicability of apramycin to be used as a therapeutic antibiotic against CR-hvKp infections.

Few studies have empirically examined children's symptoms during immigration detention. This study investigated the behavioral problems of detained children through their mothers' reports by interviewing 42 female immigrants from Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala who had been in family detention centers in Texas, using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Results revealed that a majority of children (59.5%) displayed significant behavioral symptoms, with 78.6% exhibiting Emotional Problems, 50% exhibiting Conduct Problems, 45.2% exhibiting Hyperactivity, and 57.1% displaying Peer Problems. Significant correlations were observed between the child's Total Difficulties score and the mother's experience of fear for one's life during the journey to the U.S. (r = .32), and between the child's Conduct Problems and the mother's experience of violence during the same stage (r = .39). Also, the child's Emotional Problems were associated with the mother's PTSD symptoms (r = .42), and Peer Problems were associated with the mother's depression symptoms (r = .39). The high prevalence of behavioral problems in the children indicates the need for special attention in the detention process. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved)
