Contagious Cuddling. The germs in question comprise the bacteria Shigella and Salmonella along with Escherichia coli, a common cause of infant diarrhea. Since these organisms reproduce slowly by cell division, microbiologists used to think that it would take a long time for drug-resistant strains to multiply and populate a hospital. Not so, indicates recent research. In addition to cell divi sion, these bacteria have a second way of passing on their "R factor" (drug resistance). When they cuddle up close to other bacteria, the R factor is transmitted by means of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), which bears chemical instructions...
...paper to be published in June. Mario R. Capecchi says that in a typical bacteria. E. coli, one special amino acid is probably required to initiate the synthesis of all proteins. He suggests that this some amino acid may be necessary for the initiation of all protein synthesis...
...Capecchi has found that the amount of this amino acid found in E. coli is consistent with their proposal. And within a few months, he believes, we may know if this scheme can be generalized to all systems, including mammals...
...assembly were selected from among 24 abstracts, most representing two or three years of intensive investigation. The authors selected include: Charles R.

...million on new housing for 4,000 workers; other employers have hired Italian cooks, set up bocce ball courts. German radio stations feature Spanish-and Italian-language broadcasts; Italian newspapers in Germany are flourishing with a potential readership of 187,000. Still, homesickness is rampant. Said Francesco As-coli, a transplanted construction worker from Bologna: "It's a dreary country, it's a cold country. We try and forget it with a few drinks, but we can't afford them. All we can think of is saving money to go back. Now we understand why Germans save...
