A simple and rapid protein array based method for the simultaneous detection of biowarfare agents
A protein chip has been developed that allows the simultaneous detection of a multitude of different biowarfare agents. The chip was developed for the ArrayTubeplatform providing a cheap and easy...
PublicationsMicroarray-based identification of human antibodies against Staphylococcus aureus antigens
Purpose: The mortality rate of patients with Staphylococcus aureus infections is alarming and urgently demands new strategies to attenuate the course of these infections or to detect them at earlier stages....
PublicationsVariety of Antimicrobial Resistances and Virulence Factors in Staphylococcus aureus Isolates from Meat Products Legally and Illegally Introduced to Germany
Food products of animal origin can serve as a vehicle for Staphylococcus (S.) aureus, a facultative pathogen involved in a variety of diseases. As a result, international trade and illegal transportation...
PublicationsCharacterization of ESBL- and AmpC-Producing and Fluoroquinolone-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae Isolated from Mouflons (Ovis orientalis musimon) in Austria and Germany
The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of β-lactamase producing or fluoroquinolone-resistant members of the family Enterobacteriaceae in European mouflons (Ovis orientalis musimon). The...
PublicationsDirect, Specific and Rapid Detection of Staphylococcal Proteins and Exotoxins Using a Multiplex Antibody Microarray
Background: S. aureus is a pathogen in humans and animals that harbors a wide variety of virulence factors and resistance genes. This bacterium can cause a wide range of mild to life-threatening diseases....
PublicationsStaphylococcus aureus In Vitro Secretion of Alpha Toxin (hla) Correlates with the Affiliation to Clonal Complexes
The alpha toxin of Staphylococcus aureus is a pore forming toxin that penetrates host cell membranes causing osmotic swelling, rupture, lysis and subsequently cell death. Haemolysin alpha is toxic to a...
PublicationsLong Term Molecular Epidemiology of Methicillin-Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia Isolates in Sweden
Staphylococcus aureus is one of the major pathogens that causes bacteremia; therefore, it is important to understand the long-term molecular epidemiology of S. aureus bacteremia infections. In particular,...
PublicationsCharacterisation of Australian MRSA Strains ST75-and ST883-MRSA-IV and Analysis of Their Accessory Gene Regulator Locus
Background: Community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus have become a major problem in Australia. These strains have now been isolated throughout Australia including remote Indigenous...
PublicationsDetection of Genetic Diversity in Campylobacter jejuni Isolated from a Commercial Turkey Flock Using flaA Typing, MLST Analysis and Microarray Assay
Campylobacter is genetically highly diverse and undergoes frequent intraspecific recombination. Turkeys have been identified as an important reservoir for Campylobacter jejuni which is of public health...
PublicationsDiversity of SCCmec Elements in Staphylococcus aureus as Observed in South-Eastern Germany
SCCmec elements are very important mobile genetic elements in Staphylococci that carry beta-lactam resistance genes mecA/mecC, recombinase genes and a variety of accessory genes. Twelve main types and...
