ABSTRACT
Vibrio parahaemolyticus
O3:K6 strains responsible for the increase in the number of cases of diarrhea in Calcutta, India, beginning in February 1996 and those isolated from Southeast Asian travelers beginning in 1995 were shown to belong to a unique clone characterized by possession of the

Single primer pair for amplifying segments of distinct Shiga-like-toxin genes by polymerase chain reactionJournal of Clinical Microbiology - Tập 27 Số 12 - Trang 2751-2757 - 1989
Helge Karch, Thomas F. Meyer
By using a single synthetic oligonucleotide primer pair in the polymerase chain reaction, we amplified specific Shiga-like-toxin (SLT) gene segments from DNAs of 20 clinical Escherichia coli isolates, irrespective of whether they produce SLT-I, SLT-II, or heretofore uncategorized SLTs. These segments were not detectable in any of 20 nontoxigenic E. coli strains. The primers deduced from a ...... hiện toàn bộ
Approach to Diagnosis of Cardiovascular Implantable-Electronic-Device InfectionJournal of Clinical Microbiology - Tập 56 Số 7 - 2018
Daniel C. DeSimone, M. Rizwan Sohail
ABSTRACT
Device infection remains a significant challenge as clinical indications for cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) therapy continue to expand beyond the prevention and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. Patients receiving CIED therapy are now older and have significant comorbidities, placing them at higher risk of complications, incl...... hiện toàn bộ
Comparison of Southern blot hybridization and polymerase chain reaction methods for the detection of human papillomavirus DNAJournal of Clinical Microbiology - Tập 29 Số 3 - Trang 573-577 - 1991

A methodologic study was performed to compare the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Southern blot hybridization, two commonly used testing strategies for the detection of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Three laboratories tested masked aliquots of exfoliated cervical cell specimens obtained from 120 women by cervicovaginal lavage. The study population included 32 women with condylo...... hiện toàn bộ
Nylon bead enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection of sub-picogram quantities of Brucella antigensJournal of Clinical Microbiology - Tập 18 Số 3 - Trang 601-608 - 1983
Vindya Perera, Min T. Creasy, A J Winter
An indirect sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, using antibody covalently coupled to nylon beads, has been adapted for the detection of Brucella antigens. Optimum conditions were achieved by incubation of 1 ml of reaction mixture with a single bead, and by minimizing nonspecific interactions through the use of beads coated with purified bovine antibodies, preabsorption of third lay...... hiện toàn bộ

ABSTRACT
Pathogens of the genus
Klebsiella
have been classified into distinct capsular (K) types for nearly a century. K typing of
Klebsiella
