Sprague, Lisa D, Zachariah, Reena, Neubauer, Heinrich, Wernery, Renate, Joseph, Maria, Scholz, Holger C, ...

Abstract Background The internationally mandatory complement fixation test (CFT) for testing of equine sera for the absence of glanders has repeatedly led to discrepant results. Not only do "false...

MLVA-16 typing of 295 marine mammal Brucellaisolates from different animal and geographic origins identifies 7 major groups within Brucella cetiand Brucella pinnipedialis (2009)

Maquart, Marianne, Le Flèche, Philippe, Foster, Geoffrey, Tryland, Morten, Ramisse, Françoise, Djønne, Berit, ...

Abstract Background Since 1994, Brucella strains have been isolated from a wide range of marine mammals. They are currently recognized as two new Brucella species, B. pinnipedialis for the pinniped...

Detection of changes in patterns of brain activity according to musical tonality (2009)

Diethe, Tom, Durrant, Simon, Shawe-Taylor, John, Neubauer, Heinrich

A common structural element of Western tonal music is the change of key within a melodic sequence. The present paper examines data from a set of experiments that were conducted to analyse human...

Molecular characterization of Coxiella burnetiiisolates by infrequent restriction site-PCR and MLVA typing (2006)

Arricau-Bouvery, Nathalie, Hauck, Yolande, Bejaoui, Awatef, Frangoulidis, Dimitrios, Bodier, Christelle C, Souriau, Armel, ...

Abstract Background Coxiella burnetii , the causative agent of Q fever, has a wide host range. Few epidemiological tools are available, and they are often expensive or not easily standardized across...

Evaluation and selection of tandem repeat loci for a BrucellaMLVA typing assay (2006)

Le Flèche, Philippe, Jacques, Isabelle, Grayon, Maggy, Al Dahouk, Sascha, Bouchon, Patrick, Denoeud, France, ...

Abstract Background The classification of Brucella into species and biovars relies on phenotypic characteristics and sometimes raises difficulties in the interpretation of the results due to an...

Identification of Yersinia Species by the Vitek GNI Card

Linde, Hans-Jörg, Neubauer, Heinrich, Meyer, Hermann, Aleksic, Stojanca, Lehn, Norbert

The Vitek GNI card was used to identify 212 isolates of 10 Yersinia species. Identification was correct for 96.3% of the isolates (156 of 162) to the genus level and for 57.4% of the isolates (93 of...

Comparison of Systems for Identification and Differentiation of Species within the Genus Yersinia

Neubauer, Heinrich, Sauer, Thomas, Becker, Heinz, Aleksic, Stojanca, Meyer, Hermann

Of four tested identification systems (API 20E, API Rapid 32 IDE, Micronaut E, and the PCR-based Yersinia enterocolitica Amplification Set), API 20E is still the system of choice for identifying...

A unifying basis of auditory thresholds based on temporal summation

Heil, Peter, Neubauer, Heinrich

Thresholds of auditory-nerve (AN) fibers and auditory neurons are commonly specified in terms of sound pressure only, implying that they are independent of time. At the perceptual level, however, the...

Structural Organization of the pFra Virulence-Associated Plasmid of Rhamnose-Positive Yersinia pestis

Golubov, Andrey, Neubauer, Heinrich, Nölting, Christina, Heesemann, Jürgen, Rakin, Alexander

The 137,036-bp plasmid pG8786 from rhamnose-positive Yersinia pestis G8786 isolated from the high mountainous Caucasian plague focus in Georgia is an enlarged form of the pFra virulence-associated...

Identification of Burkholderia pseudomallei and Related Bacteria by Multiple-Locus Sequence Typing-Derived PCR and Real-Time PCR▿

Wattiau, Pierre, Van Hessche, Mieke, Neubauer, Heinrich, Zachariah, Reena, Wernery, Ulrich, Imberechts, Hein

Close relatedness and genomic plasticity characterizing the high-threat pathogens Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia mallei render the molecular diagnosis of these species hard to guarantee...

Development of Multiple-Locus Variable-Number Tandem-Repeat Analysis for Yersinia enterocolitica subsp. palearctica and Its Application to Bioserogroup 4/O3 Subtyping▿

Gierczyński, Rafał, Golubov, Andrey, Neubauer, Heinrich, Pham, Jeannette N., Rakin, Alexander

Yersinia enterocolitica bioserogroup 4/O3 is the predominant causative agent of yersiniosis in Europe and North America. Multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) was developed to...

Towards a Unifying Basis of Auditory Thresholds: The Effects of Hearing Loss on Temporal Integration Reconsidered

Neubauer, Heinrich, Heil, Peter

For signal detection and identification, the auditory system needs to integrate sound over time. It is frequently assumed that the quantity ultimately integrated is sound intensity and that the...

Comparison of Absolute Thresholds Derived from an Adaptive Forced-Choice Procedure and from Reaction Probabilities and Reaction Times in a Simple Reaction Time Paradigm

Heil, Peter, Neubauer, Heinrich, Tiefenau, Andreas, Von Specht, Hellmut

An understanding of the auditory system's operation requires knowledge of the mechanisms underlying thresholds. In this work we compare detection thresholds obtained with a...
