The role of DNA amplification technology in the diagnosis of infectious diseases

Louie, Marie, Louie, Lisa, Simor, Andrew E.

Nucleic acid amplification and detection methods developed in the past decade are useful for the diagnosis and management of a variety of infectious diseases. The most widely used of these methods is...

Diagnosis of Group A Streptococcal Necrotizing Fasciitis by Using PCR To Amplify the Streptococcal Pyrogenic Exotoxin B Gene

Louie, Lisa, Simor, Andrew E., Louie, Marie, McGeer, Allison, Low, Donald E.

This study evaluated a PCR assay for detection of the streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin B (speB) gene from tissue biopsy specimens of patients with necrotizing fasciitis. speB was detected in...

Amphotericin B in Lipid Emulsion: Stability, Compatibility, and In Vitro Antifungal Activity

Walker, Scott, Tailor, Sandra A. N., Lee, Mark, Louie, Lisa, Louie, Marie, Simor, Andrew E.

Newer formulations of amphotericin B (AmB) complexed with liposomes or lipid suspensions have been developed. Preliminary studies have suggested that AmB in Intralipid (IL) may be as effective as,...

Evaluation of a Rapid PCR Assay for Diagnosis of Meningococcal Meningitis

Richardson, David C., Louie, Lisa, Louie, Marie, Simor, Andrew E.

We compared the results of Gram staining and culture of cerebrospinal fluid to results obtained with a rapid PCR assay for the diagnosis of meningococcal meningitis in 281 cases of suspected...

Association between Handling of Pet Treats and Infection with Salmonella enterica Serotype Newport Expressing the AmpC β-Lactamase, CMY-2

Pitout, Johann D. D., Reisbig, Mark D., Mulvey, Mike, Chui, Linda, Louie, Marie, Crowe, Larry, ...

Resistance to the extended-spectrum cephalosporins can occur in Salmonella species via the production of extended-spectrum and AmpC β-lactamases. We describe human infections with Salmonella...

Interferon-Mediated Immunopathological Events Are Associated with Atypical Innate and Adaptive Immune Responses in Patients with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome▿

Cameron, Mark J., Ran, Longsi, Xu, Luoling, Danesh, Ali, Bermejo-Martin, Jesus F., Cameron, Cheryl M., ...

It is not understood how immune inflammation influences the pathogenesis of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). One area of strong controversy is the role of interferon (IFN) responses in the...
