Nasopharyngeal Pneumococcal Density Associated with Invasive Lung Disease
Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is one of the most important bacterial causes of pneumonia among children and adults worldwide. Nasopharyngeal pneumococcal colonization is common in young children and represents a critical initial step in the progression to invasive disease. More...30 Oct 2019
Methods Explored for Gram-Negative Non-Fermentative Bacteria ID
The non-fermentative Gram-negative bacteria are widely distributed in the environment and have become increasingly common isolates in the clinical laboratory. Being ubiquitous in nature, they are often disregarded as contaminants. More...26 Oct 2019
Immunoassays Compared to Improve Diagnosis of Chagas Disease
Chagas disease (CD), caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, is a vector-borne infection of significant public health concern in Latin America, where nearly six million people are infected and 70 million are at risk of infection. More...26 Oct 2019
PCR Kit Developed for Detection of Q-fever Pathogen
Coxiella burnetii is an obligate intracellular bacterium that causes Q fever in animals and humans. The infection results from inhalation of a spore-like small-cell variant, and from contact with the milk, urine, feces, vaginal mucus or semen of infected animals. More...17 Oct 2019
