Docking analysis implied that marbofloxacin could not form strong complexes with mutated DNA-gyrase. A high prevalnce of PMQR genes, especially qnrS, was observed along with overexpression of AcrAB-TolC efflux pump. CONCLUSIONS The study highlighted high prevalence of transferable mechanisms of quinolone resistance and over-expression of efflux pumps in marbofloxacin-resistantE. coli isolates apart from classic QRDR mutations. The present study recommends to consider the period of dominance of resistant commensals, being excreted by animals during the antimicrobial treatments, while formulating the withdrawal period for drugs especially, in food producing animals. OBJECT Preoperative thalamic targeting methods have historically relied on indirect targeting techniques that do not fully account for variances in anatomy or for thalamic atrophy in epilepsy. This study aims to address the variability noted between traditional indirect targeting and direct targetint methods for the anterior nucleus of the thalamus (ANT). METHODS Fifteen consecutive patients undergoing ANT deep brain stimulator (DBS) placement were evaluated (30 thalamic nuclei). Direct ANT targeting was performed utilizing a fast gray matter acquisition T1 inversion recovery sequence and compared with standard stereotactic coordinates. Thalamic volumes were also calculated for each patient and degree of thalamic volume loss was assessed compared to matched controls. Vertex analysis was also performed to assess shape changes in the thalamus compared to an age and gender matched cohort. RESULTS There was significant variation between the direct and indirect targets in the y-axis and z-axis on both sides. On the left, the direct target was located at y = 2 ± 1.3 mm and z = 9.3 ± 1.8 mm (both p=0.02). On the right, the direct target was located at
