C. difficile strains were isolated from patients with diarrhoea attending hospitals in the Western Cape region of South Africa that tested positive using the GeneXpert CDiff diagnostic test. Ribotyping and multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) were used to type isolates, and their...
This chapter analyses making/allowing in terms of positive/negative: you allow something to happen if an explanation of its happening requires only a negative fact about your behaviour. A negative fact about your behaviour is a highly general or uninformative one; it corresponds to almost the whol...
作者: Leibowitz, JillSoma, Vijaya L.Rosen, LisaGinocchio, Christine C.Rubin, Lorry G. 摘要: Background: Many laboratories use polymerase chain reaction (PCR)based assays to detect the Clostridium difficile toxin B gene (tcdB) in stool. However, PCR testing experience in pediatric patients is ...
Accord- ingly, the numbers of BCAS1(+) cells in these regions were limited in both MSA-C and MSA-P cases (case 1, 2, 3, and 6, Additional file 1: Table S1), and it was diffi- cult to perform statistical analysis regarding the differ- ence in the numbers and morphological ...
Risk factors for Clostridium diffi- cile toxin-positive diarrhea: a population-based prospective case- control study. Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis 31: 2601-2610, 2012.Vestcinsdottir I, Gudlaugsdottir S, Einarsdottir R, Kalaizakis E, Sigurdardottir O, Bjornsson ES. Risk factors for ...
Although a rapid detection kit of toxins (C. DIFF QUIK CHEK COMPLETE, TechLab, Blacksburg, VA, USA) showed positivity, Western blotting detected no toxins. Therefore, we explored the strain's toxin genes and their sequences to determine whether the strain possessed a toxin. Results:Polymerase ...
Conclusions and Clinical Relevance-Results provided some evidence that horses positive for toxin A had more severe clinical disease than did horses with evidence of C diffici/e infection that were negative for toxin A and horses with diarrhea without evidence of C difficile infection.Ruby...
Background: Many laboratories use polymerase chain reaction (PCR)based assays to detect the Clostridium difficile toxin B gene (tcdB) in stool. However, PCR testing experience in pediatric patients is limited. We compared the detection of C. difficile by PCR in hospitalized children with and ...
