Two variants among Haemophilus influenzaeserotype b strains with distinct bcs4, hcsAand hcsBgenes display differences in expression of the polysaccharide capsule (2008)

Schouls, Leo, Van Der Heide, Han, Witteveen, Sandra, Zomer, Bert, Van Der Ende, Arie, Burger, Marina, ...

Abstract Background Despite nearly complete vaccine coverage, a small number of fully vaccinated children in the Netherlands have experienced invasive disease caused by Haemophilus influenzae...

Clinical Spectrum of Infections Due to the Newly Described Actinomyces Species A. turicensis, A. radingae, and A. europaeus

Sabbe, Luc J. M., Van De Merwe, Dick, Schouls, Leo, Bergmans, Anneke, Vaneechoutte, Mario, Vandamme, Peter

Over a 7-year period, we isolated 294 Actinomyces-like organisms (ALOs) which were not clearly identifiable. Using well-defined probes coding for sequences specific for recently described Actinomyces...

Rapid Typing of Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato Species in Specimens from Patients with Different Manifestations of Lyme Borreliosis

Lünemann, Jan D., Zarmas, Silvia, Priem, Susanne, Franz, Juliane, Zschenderlein, Rolf, Aberer, Elisabeth, ...

To further investigate the pathogenic potential of different Borrelia burgdorferi genospecies, specimens from 27 patients with different manifestations of Lyme borreliosis were analyzed by PCR and...

Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato and Ehrlichia spp. in Ixodes Ticks from Southern Norway

Jenkins, Andrew, Kristiansen, Bjørn-Erik, Allum, Anne-Gry, Aakre, Randi Kersten, Strand, Linda, Kleveland, Ellen Johanne, ...

We report the results of a study of the prevalence of Ehrlichia and Borrelia species in 341 questing Ixodes ricinus ticks from two locations in southern Norway. The prevalences of Borrelia...

High Prevalence of Granulocytic Ehrlichiae and Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato in Ixodes ricinus Ticks from Bulgaria

Christova, Iva, Schouls, Leo, Van De Pol, Ingrid, Park, Jinho, Panayotov, Stefan, Lefterova, Viktoria, ...

Bulgarian Ixodes ricinus ticks were examined for Ehrlichia and Borrelia coinfection: 34 and 32% of adult ticks and at least 2 and 10% of nymphs were positive for these infections, respectively....

Use of Multilocus Variable-Number Tandem-Repeat Analysis for Typing Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis

Overduin, Pieter, Schouls, Leo, Roholl, Paul, Van Der Zanden, Adri, Mahmmod, Nofel, Herrewegh, Arnold, ...

The etiology of Crohn's disease in humans is largely unknown. Clinical signs of Crohn's disease partly resemble the clinical picture of Johne's disease in ruminants caused by Mycobacterium avium...
