In vivo topological analysis of Ste2, a yeast plasma membrane protein, by using beta-lactamase gene fusions (1991)

Cartwright, Charles P., Tipper, Donald J.

Gene fusions were constructed between Ste2, the receptor for the Saccharomyces cerevisiae alpha-factor, and beta la, the secreted form of beta-lactamase encoded by the bla gene of pBR322. The Ste2...

Comparison of Simple and Rapid Methods for Identifying Enterococci Intrinsically Resistant to Vancomycin

Hanson, Kevan L., Cartwright, Charles P.

Three different methodologies, reduction of litmus milk (LM) and acidification of arabinose (ARA), acidification of methyl-α-d-glucopyranoside (MGP), and rapid motility (RM), for differentiating...

Utility of Multiple-Stool-Specimen Ova and Parasite Examinations in a High-Prevalence Setting

Cartwright, Charles P.

A retrospective analysis of the results of 2,704 ova and parasite (O & P) examinations performed on stool specimens collected from 1,374 patients between October 1996 and September 1997 was performed...

Identification of Nocardia Species by Restriction Endonuclease Analysis of an Amplified Portion of the 16S rRNA Gene

Conville, Patricia S., Fischer, Steven H., Cartwright, Charles P., Witebsky, Frank G.

Identification of clinical isolates of Nocardia to the species level is important for defining the spectrum of disease produced by each species and for predicting antimicrobial susceptibility. We...

Use of an Enzyme Immunoassay Does Not Eliminate the Need To Analyze Multiple Stool Specimens for Sensitive Detection of Giardia lamblia

Hanson, Kevan L., Cartwright, Charles P.

The relative sensitivities of a commercially available enzyme immunoassay (EIA) (ProSpecT Giardia; Alexon-Trend Inc., Ramsey, Minn.) and conventional ovum-and-parasite (O&P) examination for the...

Evaluation of an Automated Liquid-Handling System (Tecan Genesis RSP 100) in the Abbott LCx Assay for Chlamydia trachomatis

Hanson, Kevan L., Cartwright, Charles P.

The present study investigated the feasibility of automating the specimen-pipetting component of sample preparation in the LCx Chlamydia assay (LCx-CT assay; Abbott Laboratories, Chicago, Ill.) by...

Value of Examining Multiple Sputum Specimens in the Diagnosis of Pulmonary Tuberculosis

Nelson, Susan M., Deike, Marcia A., Cartwright, Charles P.

To objectively assess the value of examining multiple sputum specimens in maximizing the sensitivity of detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, we retrospectively reviewed the acid-fast bacillus...

Detection of Fluconazole-Resistant Isolates of Candida glabrata by Using an Agar Screen Assay

Nelson, Susan M., Cartwright, Charles P.

The ability of a fluconazole-containing agar screen assay to accurately detect isolates of Candida glabrata resistant to the azole antifungal agent fluconazole was evaluated on a collection of 100...

Use of Sequence Data Generated in the Bayer TruGene Genotyping Assay To Recognize and Characterize Non-Subtype-B Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Strains

Hirigoyen, Diane L., Cartwright, Charles P.

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) protease (PR) and reverse transcriptase (RT) gene sequences obtained during antiretroviral resistance testing with a commercial genotyping assay (TruGene;...
