Embodiments of the invention provide a method of reducing colonization of a subject's anterior nares and/or nasal cavity by a microorganism (e.g.,). In some aspects, the method may include administering a pharmaceutical composition to the subject, wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises a therapeutically effective amount of at least one probiotic.

Compositions and methods for augmenting the nasal microbiome

A rain bib garment is provided, wherein the rain bib garment includes buoyant elements that may be employed so that a wearer may float in water, should the need arise, and further includes means for providing a substantially water-tight seal between the rain bib and a wearer at an upper portion of the rain bib.

Buoyant outdoor garment

Methods for the production of lipids and biofuels with a culture ofspp. grown on a medium such as wastewater or sewage sludge are provided. Thespp. may be cultured with additional microorganisms that contribute to the accumulation of lipids from the growth medium such as Zoog!oea spp.,spp.,spp.,spp., ODI genera incertae sedis. Further discloses are transformed organisms comprising genes isolated from, as well as methods and processes for producing lipids, fatty acids, or biofuels in vitro using the protein products of the isolated genes.

Isolated genes and transgenic organisms for producing biofuels

An umbrella system includes a collapsible umbrella preferably having a telescoping pole, and including a generally hollow base unit with an auger member attached to a bottom portion thereof. The telescoping pole may be adjustable in height by any suitable means, and is received by the base unit having a pair of handle members extending radially therefrom, so that a user may grip the handle members in order to twist the base unit with the auger member into the ground. Other features may include an attachable table member, attachable drink holders, a removable carrying strap, a rotating collar assembly affixed to the lower portion of the base unit for attachment to a dog leash, and a water misting system for providing a spray water mist beneath the shade of the umbrella.

Umbrella system and method

A wader garment is provided, wherein the wader garment includes buoyant elements that may be employed so that a wearer may float in water, should the need arise, and further includes means for providing a substantially water-tight seal between the waders and a wearer at an upper portion of the waders. The wader garment may also include drainage valves on the leg portions to drain water from waders, if necessary, as well as a urination valve that may be in an open position or a closed position.

Buoyant waders

A wader garment is provided, wherein the wader garment includes buoyant elements that may be employed so that a wearer may float in water, should the need arise, and further includes means for providing a substantially water-tight seal between the waders and a wearer at an upper portion of the waders.

Disclosed are primers, probes, and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) specific to a distinct subclones of thesequence type 131 (ST131). Also disclosed are methods and assay kits useful in detecting the presence of the distinct subtype ofand methods of treating a subject suffering from an infection from a subclone of ST131.
