The objective of this study was to determine the distribution of staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) elements in meticillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (MR-CoNS) isolated from a tertiary-care hospital in Mexico and to examine the relationship to drug resistance. Fifty selected MR-CoNS isolates collected from catheters (n=15), blood (n=15), bone (n=9), bronchial lavage (n=2) and urine (n=2) and one isolate each from an abscess, cerebrospinal fluid, eye, pleural effusion, synovial fluid, tracheal aspirate and wound secretion were examined. Susceptibility testing was performed by the broth microdilution method. SCCmec types were determined by multiplex PCR and PFGE was carried out as described previously for Staphylococcus aureus. Among the MR-CoNS strains studied, the most frequently isolated species were Staphylococcus epidermidis (n=26) and Staphylococcus haemolyticus (n=13). Staphylococcus cohnii (n=5), Staphylococcus hominis (n=3), Staphylococcus sciuri (n=1), Staphylococcus pasteuri (n=1) and the recently described species Staphylococcus pettenkoferi (n=1) were also identified. The most frequent MR-CoNS genotype identified was SCCmec type IVa in S. epidermidis isolates, which also showed a high diversity in their PFGE patterns. A clone was found that amplified both SCCmec III and V elements in five isolates examined. The single MR S. pettenkoferi isolate harboured SCCmec type IVd and the single MR S. pasteuri isolate harboured SCCmec type I. The carriage of SCCmec type III was associated with resistance or intermediate resistance to meropenem (P <0.05). These results confirm the high prevalence of S. epidermidis SCCmec IVa and the high genetic diversity among MR-CoNS strains. As far as is known, this is the first report describing the newly identified S. pettenkoferi possessing SCCmec IVd and S. pasteuri harbouring SCCmec type I. MR-CoNS harbouring SCCmec type III were found to be more resistant to meropenem.

In Mexico, the present methods used to assure the continuous monitoring of the conditions and effects of the drought are not adapted to the geographical regional or local scales. The National Meteorological Service of Mexico, only uses 12 climatic observatories, in contrast to the 30 observatories used to reproduce the cartography in this work. Since 1994, recognizing the damages caused by the repetitive drought events in the State of Chihuahua, politicians, scientists and university educators formed a consortium that created the Centro de Investigacion Sobre Sequia (CEISS), of the Instituto de Ecologia, A.C. The mission of the CEISS is to conduct integrated studies of the drought. It is the only research institution in Mexico that operates on a regional scale, and that has initiated a permanent system for monitoring the drought. The uniqueness of the system is in the estimation of easily evaluated indices, such as the SPI (Standardized Precipitation Index) and the PPN (Normal Precipitation Percentage). The drought monitoring system has clearly shown advances in the comprehension of the drought phenomenon, its graphic presentation, and the diffusion of this information via a Geographic Information System developed for the drought. The system will be of great use to decision-makers in the prevention of, and strategic mitigation planning for, damages caused by the lack of water on a regional level.La composition foliaire de Stipa tenacissima L. en lipides totaux et en acides gras presente une variation quantitative saisonniere. L’analyse en composantes principales effectuee sur les acides gras identifies et quantifies par chromatographie en phase gazeuse met en evidence l’existence de deux groupes d’acides gras importants : l’un correle a la saison de dormance estivale et l’autre a la saison de croissance printaniere, traduisant ainsi l’influence de ces deux saisons sur le remaniement de cette composante biochimique dans le tissu foliaire de l’espece. Le groupe affine a l’ete est represente par un ensemble d’acides gras satures (acide laurique, acide myristique, acide palmitique et acide stearique) caracteristiques des etats de resistance a la secheresse. En revanche, le groupe correle a la saison de croissance printaniere, comporte principalement des acides gras insatures (acide linoleique, acide linolenique et acide 13-octadecenoique) dont la biosynthese est stimulee dans les jeunes feuilles en croissance.La precocite au stade epiaison est une composante importante d’esquive des stress de fin de cycle chez le ble dur. L’adoption de varietes a cycle relativement court est necessaire dans les regions arides a semi-arides compte tenu de la distribution temporelle des precipitations. L’objectif de cet article est d’etudier la variabilite du rendement en grains de deux varietes contrastees pour leur phenologie. La variete Waha, a cycle court, produit plus de grains que la variete Mohammed Ben Bachir, variete a cycle long, pour plus de la moitie des campagnes observees (7/13). Les gels tardifs alterent toutefois le potentiel de production de cette variete : lorsqu’ils surviennent, la production de grains la plus importante est obtenue avec la variete Mohammed Ben Bachir. Pour obtenir une productivite optimale et stable, une date d’epiaison optimale est a rechercher. Pour cela, une selection axee sur l’obtention de varietes ayant la precocite requise, peu variables d’une annee sur l’autre (en termes de jours calendaires) est a privilegier pour developper des varietes plus adaptees a ce type de climat. Cette selection doit porter a la fois sur les exigences thermoperiodique et photoperiodique de la plante.
