Abstract: A management capability is provided for a virtual computing platform. In one example, this platform allows interconnected physical resources such as processors, memory, network interfaces and storage interfaces to be abstracted and mapped to virtual resources (e.g., virtual mainframes, virtual partitions). Virtual resources contained in a virtual partition can be assembled into virtual servers that execute a guest operating system (e.g., Linux). In one example, the abstraction is unique in that any resource is available to any virtual server regardless of the physical boundaries that separate the resources. For example, any number of physical processors or any amount of physical memory can be used by a virtual server even if these resources span different nodes.

Abstract: The present invention provides PBP2a peptide antigens for generating antibodies against MRSA, and provides high-affinity binding agents that detect MRSA by selective immunoreactivity with PBP2a. The antibodies are useful in methods and systems for detecting MRSA, including biosensor systems, or as components of diagnostic or detection kits. The antibodies, in some embodiments, have therapeutic value against MRSA infection.
