To determine the types of infectious bacteria and positive rate of microbial culture, bacterial DNA levels in the blood, central line tips and sputum sample cultures were investigated. During the postoperative 72 h period, the growth rate of positive bacterial cultures (including blood, central lines...

Finally, the frequencies of positive and negative predictions of UPEC in urine using the qPCR were equivalent to colony count methods. This assay provides an alternative to culture-based approaches for quantitation of UPEC bacteriuria in research studies.Chamoun, Michelle N.Sullivan, Matthew J.Ulett...
A urinary tract infection was defined as a pure culture of > or = 10(5) colony forming units in a mid-stream specimen of urine from a patient with symptoms consistent with a urinary tract infection. RESULTS--Urinary tract infections occurred in 10 (5.7%) of 175 patients, with an ...
No exclusion criteria were applied. Urine culture results were gathered for samples from patients with suspected clinical diagnosis.In urine samples obtained by spontaneous miction from a permanent catheter, collection bag, or nephrostomy tube, SB was defined by a count of ≥105...
Invasive infection by the Gram-positive pathogen Staphylococcus aureus is controlled by a four gene operon, agr that encodes a quorum sensing system for the regulation of virulence. While agr has been well studied in S. aureus, the contribution of agr homologues and analogues in other Gram-positi...
