7. Acquired vancomycin resistance in clinically relevant pathogens

   2008 - Acquired resistance to vancomycin is an increasing problem in pathogenic bacteria. It is best studied and most prevalent among Enterococcus and still remains rare in other pathogenic bacteria. …

8. Multiplex PCR for rapid detection of Staphylococcus aureus isolates suspected to represent community-acquired strains

   2008 - The continuous spread of community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (caMRSA) and the introduction of these highly virulent isolates into hospitals represent increasing threats. The …

9. Increasing rates of vancomycin resistance among Enterococcus faecium isolated from German hospitals between 2004 and 2006 are due to wide clonal dissemination of vancomycin-resistant enterococci and horizontal spread of vanA clusters

   2008 - Results of national and international surveillance studies revealed increasing rates of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREF) among German hospital patients since 2003. To investigate the …

11. Changes in the risk of death after HIV seroconversion compared with mortality in the general population

    2008 - Context  Mortality among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–infected individuals has decreased dramatically in countries with good access to treatment and may now be close to mortality in the general …

12. Detection of Balamuthia mandrillaris DNA by real-time PCR targeting the RNAse P gene

    2008 - Background: The free-living amoeba Balamuthia mandrillaris may cause fatal encephalitis both in immunocompromised and in – apparently – immunocompetent humans and other mammalian species. Rapid, …

13. Comparison of the HIV-1 specific IgG capture ELISA 1 (BED-CEIA) with the avidity index method for identification of recent HIV-infections

    2008 - The sensitivity and specificity of the HIV-1-specific IgG capture ELISA (BED-CEIA) were compared with those of the avidity index method to identify recent HIV infection using a panel of 148 samples …
