Comparison of five selective media for identifying fecal carriage of vancomycin-resistant enterococci.

Landman, D, Quale, J M, Oydna, E, Willey, B, Ditore, V, Zaman, M, ...

There is no uniformly accepted method for detecting colonization with vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). The sensitivities of five culture methods were determined for patients known to harbor...

Species identification of enterococci via intergenic ribosomal PCR.

Tyrrell, G J, Bethune, R N, Willey, B, Low, D E

Accurate species identification of enterococci has become important with the wide prevalence of acquired vancomycin resistance and the presence of less epidemiologically important, inherently...

Decreased Prevalence of Virulence Factors among Ciprofloxacin-Resistant Uropathogenic Escherichia coli Isolates

Drews, S. J., Poutanen, S. M., Mazzulli, T., McGeer, A. J., Sarabia, A., Pong-Porter, S., ...

Ciprofloxacin resistance was identified in 18% and 6% of consecutively collected, clinically significant urinary tract isolates of Escherichia coli from inpatients and outpatients, respectively. In...

Multicenter Comparison of Nucleic Acid Extraction Methods for Detection of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus RNA in Stool Specimens

Petrich, A., Mahony, J., Chong, S., Broukhanski, G., Gharabaghi, F., Johnson, G., ...

The emergence of a novel coronavirus (CoV) as the cause of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) catalyzed the development of rapid diagnostic tests. Stool samples have been shown to be...
