Determination of the Copy Number of the Nuclear rDNA and Beta-tubulin Genes of Pneumocystis carinii f. sp. hominis Using PCR Multicompetitors (2000)

Aimable Nahimana, Patrick Francioli, Dominique S. Blanc, J. Bille, Ann E. Wakefield, Philippe M. SHauser

Multiple copies of a gene may lead to difficulty in the interpretation of typing results because polymorphism of the copies may wrongly lead to the conclusion that different types are present in a...

Expression of Staphylococcus aureus Clumping Factor A in Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris Using a New Shuttle Vector

Que, Yok-Ai, Haefliger, Jacques-Antoine, Francioli, Patrick, Moreillon, Philippe

Staphylococcus aureus harbors redundant adhesins mediating tissue colonization and infection. To evaluate their intrinsic role outside of the staphylococcal background, a system was designed to...

Mutations of Pneumocystis jirovecii Dihydrofolate Reductase Associated with Failure of Prophylaxis

Nahimana, Aimable, Rabodonirina, Meja, Bille, Jacques, Francioli, Patrick, Hauser, Philippe M.

Most drugs used for prevention and treatment of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia target enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of folic acid, i.e., dihydropteroate synthase (DHPS) and dihydrofolate...

First Case of Bacteremia and Multifocal Cellulitis Due to Helicobacter canis in an Immunocompetent Patient▿

Leemann, Corinne, Gambillara, Eleonora, Prod'hom, Guy, Jaton, Katia, Panizzon, Renato, Bille, Jacques, ...

Bacteremia due to Helicobacter canis has been reported in a patient with X-linked hypogammaglobulinemia. Here we report on the first human case of H. canis bacteremia in an immunocompetent host....

Fibrinogen and fibronectin binding cooperate for valve infection and invasion in Staphylococcus aureus experimental endocarditis

Que, Yok-Ai, Haefliger, Jacques-Antoine, Piroth, Lionel, François, Patrice, Widmer, Eleonora, Entenza, José M., ...

The expression of Staphylococcus aureus adhesins in Lactococcus lactis identified clumping factor A (ClfA) and fibronectin-binding protein A (FnBPA) as critical for valve colonization in rats with...
