Transmission of Burkholderia cepacia complex: Evidence for new epidemic clones infecting cystic fibrosis patients in Italy (2005)

Campana, S, Taccetti, G, Ravenni, N, Favari, F, Cariani, L, Sciacca, A, ...

To analyze national prevalence, genomovar distribution, and epidemiology of the Burkholderia cepacia complex in Italy, 225 putative B. cepacia complex isolates were obtained from 225 cystic fibrosis...

A large prolonged outbreak of human calicivirus infection linked to an aged-care facility (2002)

Milazzo, Adriana, Tribe, I. G., Ratcliff, R., Doherty, C., Higgins, G., Givney, Rodney

This report investigates an outbreak of acute gastrointestinal illness, microbiologically and epidemiologically linked to an aged-care facility and seeks to determine if there was a point source of...

A large prolonged outbreak of human calicivirus infection linked to an aged-care facility (2002)

Milazzo, Adriana, Tribe, I. G., Ratcliff, R., Doherty, C., Higgins, G., Givney, Rodney

This report investigates an outbreak of acute gastrointestinal illness, microbiologically and epidemiologically linked to an aged-care facility and seeks to determine if there was a point source of...

In vitro activities of meropenem, PD 127391, PD 131628, ceftazidime, chloramphenicol, co-trimoxazole, and ciprofloxacin against Pseudomonas cepacia.

Lewin, C, Doherty, C, Govan, J

In a study of 110 Pseudomonas cepacia isolates from patients without cystic fibrosis, the in vitro potencies of three new compounds, meropenem, PD 127391, and PD 131628, were comparable to those of...

Two variants of quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR used to show differential expression of alpha-, beta- and gamma-fibrinogen genes in rat liver lobes.

Zhang, J, Desai, M, Ozanne, S E, Doherty, C, Hales, C N, Byrne, C D

Quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) is a sensitive method for the measurement of mRNA copy number. However, the methodology has gained a reputation for poor reproducibility, leading to...

HIV testing in patients with end stage renal disease.

Stevens, A, Little, J, Kerr, S, Kilbane, P, Doherty, C

One hundred and twenty eight British and Irish nephrologists were questioned about their policy for HIV testing of patients with end stage renal failure being considered for renal replacement...

Increased treatment requirements of patients with cystic fibrosis who harbour a highly transmissible strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Jones, A, Dodd, M, Doherty, C, Govan, J, Webb, A

Background: A group of patients who harbour the same highly transmissible strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were identified at a cystic fibrosis (CF) centre. Isolates of this strain display a number...

Identification of airborne dissemination of epidemic multiresistant strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa at a CF centre during a cross infection outbreak

Jones, A, Govan, J, Doherty, C, Dodd, M, Isalska, B, Stanbridge, T, ...

Methods: Microbiological sampling of the environment of the CF facility was performed, including room air sampling. Individual P aeruginosa strains were identified by bacterial fingerprinting. The...

Burkholderia cenocepacia and Burkholderia multivorans: influence on survival in cystic fibrosis

Jones, A, Dodd, M, Govan, J, Barcus, V, Doherty, C, Morris, J, ...

Introduction: Burkholderia cepacia infection has been associated with a poor prognosis for patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). It is now recognised that organisms classified as B cepacia comprise a...

Prevalence and clonality of Burkholderia cepacia complex genomovars in UK patients with cystic fibrosis referred for lung transplantation

De Soyza, A, Morris, K, McDowell, A, Doherty, C, Archer, L, Perry, J, ...

Background: It has previously been reported that patients infected with Burkholderia cenocepacia (genomovar III) before lung transplantation have a poorer outcome than those with other B cepacia...

Comparison of an enzyme immunoassay for the detection of Helicobacter pylori antigens in the faeces with the urea breath test

Shepherd, A., Williams, C., Doherty, C., Hossack, M., Preston, T., McColl, K., ...

BACKGROUND—Current diagnostic tests for Helicobacter pylori are invasive (endoscopy) or indirect (urea breath test, serology).
AIMS—To evaluate a new enzyme immunoassay (EIA) which detects H...
