Therapy: the microbiologist's view (1990)
Potentially, the clinical microbiologist is able to influence empirical and definitive therapy of bacteraemia. Definitive therapy of the individual can only be affected after the results of routine...
Flucloxacillin concentration in serum and wound exudate during open heart surgery (1985)
Farrington, M., Fenn, A., Phillips, I.
Per-operative serum and wound fluid concentrations achieved by two flucloxacillin dosage regimens were measured in twelve patients undergoing open heart surgery. One 500 mg bolus dose given after the...
Cryptosporidium antigen detection in human feces by reverse passive hemagglutination assay.
Farrington, M, Winters, S, Walker, C, Miller, R, Rubenstein, D
A reverse passive hemagglutination (RPH) assay was developed for Cryptosporidium oocyst antigen with an antioocyst monoclonal antibody (MAb; MAb-C1) coupled to stabilized sheep erythrocytes. RPH was...
Gray, J. J., Ward, K. N., Warren, R. E., Farrington, M.
We describe the first case in which a diagnostic rise in titers of antibody to formalinized Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 yolk sac antigen was shown to be caused by a cross-reaction between L....
Nonoyama, S, Farrington, M, Ishida, H, Howard, M, Ochs, H D
Most patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVI) have normal numbers of circulating B cells but low concentrations of serum Ig. To determine if the hypogammaglobulinemia is caused by an...
Streptococci from primary isolation plates grouped by reverse passive haemagglutination.
Farrington, M, Winters, S, Rubenstein, D, Greatorex, J, Whetstone, R
Reverse passive haemagglutination, a novel microtitre based assay, was compared with the Streptex (Wellcome UK) latex slide agglutination kit for streptococcal grouping in a diagnostic microbiology...

Constantine, C E, Amphlett, M, Farrington, M, Brown, D F, Messer, S, Rampling, A, ...
AIM--To develop an internal quality assessment (IQA) scheme in a clinical bacteriology laboratory. METHODS--Over 24 months, 1230 diagnostic specimens, representing 0.42% of laboratory workload, were...
CD40 ligand expression is defective in a subset of patients with common variable immunodeficiency.
Farrington, M, Grosmaire, L S, Nonoyama, S, Fischer, S H, Hollenbaugh, D, Ledbetter, J A, ...
Common variable immunodeficiency (CVI) is characterized by hypogammaglobulinemia and recurrent bacterial infections due to failure of CVI B cells to differentiate in vivo into...
Vertebral osteomyelitis due to coccobacilli of the HB group.
Farrington, M, Eykyn, S J, Walker, M, Warren, R E
Three cases of pyogenic vertebral osteomyelitis occurred in which unusual, fastidious, Gram negative coccobacilli belonging to the "HB" group were isolated. The organisms were Haemophilus aphrophilus...
