Delice & Sarrasin, New York City, NYGarlic slathered escargot, buttery foie gras, and wine-bathed boeuf bourguignon are the components of a cruel vegan nightmare. However, at Delice & Sarrasin—a family-owned French bistro in the heart of Manhattan—these animal-centric dishes get a totally vegan makeover thanks to the handywork of Christophe Caron Soriano (a male model, because New York) and his mother. The place opened quietly in 2014 with no mention of the word “vegan” on their in-house menu—just a long list of traditional French dishes, with very ‘francophillic” names. The duo uses traditional French cooking methods to replicate the tastes of home—such as salmon made from carrot slices; beef tartare constructed from pea protein, coconut oil and beets; and crab cakes madeIn vitro antimicrobials activity against endemic Acinetobacter baumannii multiresistant clones.
Multidrug-resistant strains of Acinetobacter baumannii have been reported increasingly around the world. The administration of an association of antibiotics has been proposed to create an active combination and to prevent the emergence of resistance. The activity of colistin, rifampicin, gentamicin, imipenem and their associations was evaluated by means of killing curves in fourteen isolates belonging to three endemic PFGE types, in a university hospital of Buenos Aires city. The 14 isolates were selected on the basis of different mechanisms responsible for resistance to carbapenems and different susceptibility to colistin. The mechanism responsible for the resistance to imipenem was the production of OXA-23 and OXA-58 carbapenemases. Heteroresistance to colistin was observed in six isolates. The associations colistin-rifampicin and colistin-imipenem were
