Prevalence of Clonal Complexes and Virulence Genes among Commensal and Invasive Staphylococcus aureus Isolates in Sweden
Staphylococcus aureus encodes a remarkable number of virulence factors which may contribute to its pathogenicity and ability to cause invasive disease. The main objective of this study was to evaluate...
PublicationsA Field Guide to Pandemic, Epidemic and Sporadic Clones of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
In recent years, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have become a truly global challenge. In addition to the long-known healthcare-associated clones, novel strains have also emerged outside...
PublicationsRapid and Sensitive Multiplex Detection of Burkholderia pseudomallei-Specific Antibodies in Melioidosis Patients Based on a Protein Microarray Approach
Background:The environmental bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei causes the infectious disease melioidosis with a high case-fatality rate in tropical and subtropical regions. Direct pathogen detection...
PublicationsDevelopment of a DNA Microarray-Based Assay for the Detection of Sugar Beet Root Rot Pathogens
Sugar beet root rot diseases that occur during the cropping season or in storage are accompanied by high yield losses and a severe reduction of processing quality. The vast diversity of microorganism species...
PublicationsMonitoring the amplification of CATCH, a 3SR based cooperatively coupled isothermal amplification system, by fluorimetric methods
Three different types of fluorescence detection methods were employed to monitor amplification of a previously established isothermal cooperatively coupled amplification system as it can serve as a tool...
PublicationsA case of peritonitis caused by Rhizopus microsporus
We report a case of a 62-year-old female patient who developed peritonitis after receiving a renal transplant. Candida glabrata was detected and treated with voriconazole. As the patient did not improve...
PublicationsInfluence of polymerase brand on microarray-based spoligotyping in low concentrations of mycobacterial DNA
Spoligotyping is a widely used typing method for the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. Protocols and platforms can be adapted for direct use on patient samples. Serial dilutions of genomic DNA from Mycobacterium...
PublicationsSerogenotyping and antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Salmonella spp. isolated from retail meat samples in Lagos, Nigeria
Microarray-based serogenotyping, antimicrobial susceptibility tests and the detection of relevant resistance genes were performed on isolates of Salmonella spp. from retail meat samples obtained in Lagos,...
PublicationsDevelopment and usage of protein microarrays for the quantitative measurement of Panton-Valentine leukocidin
Staphylococcus aureus is a human pathogen that can harbour several genes encoding exotoxins including leukocidins. A clinically most relevant factor is Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) because of its...
PublicationsEconomic high-throughput-identification of influenza A subtypes from clinical specimens with a DNA-oligonucleotide microarray in an outbreak situation
Influenza A surface proteins H (haemagglutinin) and N (neuraminidase) occur in sixteen and nine distinct genotypes, respectively. The need for a timely production of vaccinations in case of pandemics or...
