Carriage rate of staphylococcus aureusamong healthcare workers at the University Teaching Hospital in Lusaka
… of hospital-acquired infections worldwide. The carriage of S. aureus among healthcare workers has been associated with transmission of the bacterium to susceptible patients. The aim of this study was to determine the carriage rate, antimicrobial susceptibility profile and spa type of S. aureus …

Equine Herpesvirus Type 1: Filling Gaps Toward Improved Outbreak Management
… Once a horse is infected, the virus concentrates to local lymphoid tissue, where it becomes latent. The virus can recrudesce during times of stress, which can lead to the initiation of devastating outbreaks. Some variants of EHV-1 have been associated with more severe disease outcomes. …

MULTIPLEX REAL TIME PCR and MELT CURVE ASSAY DEVELOPMENT FOR THE SIMULTANEOUS DETECTION AND IDENTIFICATION OF STREPTOCOCCUS PNEUMONIAE and STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS
… may be more likely to carry MRSA. Assessing the carriage rate of these bacteria in both vaccinated and non-vaccinated individuals may provide important information to support or refute this hypothesis. To facilitate this study, we developed a multiplex Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) …

Prevalence and control of Clostridium difficile in patients with cystic fibrosis
… to control its dissemination. To determine the carriage rate of C. difficile in CF patients, 60 patients were tested for C. difficile and its toxin. In total, 50% of patients were found to be asymptomatic carriers of C. difficile despite toxin being detected in 31.66% of patients. Ribotyping of …

The Rapid Detection of MRSA
… healthcare priority. Screening patients for MRSA carriage occupies a central position in this control. Conventional culture methods for MRSA screening take 2-3 days to produce a positive result. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based systems can detect MRSA within one day ('rapid screening') though …

Cystic fibrosis and the gut microbiota
… (Ireland, UK and Belgium), reporting the highest carriage rate to date of 63-71% compared to 7% in age-matched healthy controls. C. difficile ribotypes were geographically distinct among the three sites, with a core of two ribotypes (046 and 078) shared among all sites. In order to identify …

An investigation of the protective effect of alpha+-thalassaemia against severe Plasmodium falciparum amongst children in Kumasi, Ghana
… (-α/-α) alpha+-thalassaemia, resulting in a carriage rate (α/αα & -α/-α) of 29.3%. Among the microcytic patients, geometric mean parasite density (GMPD) values were lower in the presence of an alpha+thalassaemia genotype (-α/αα GMPD 9015, n=126 and -α/-α GMPD 6852, n=49) compared to normal …

Verbreitung von Meningokokken bei gesunden Trägern in Bayern : unter besonderer Berücksichtigung des hypervirulenten ET-15-Klons
… untersucht. Die allgemeine Trägerrate an Meningokokken betrug 10,3%. Bei vier Probanden aus zwei Orten wurden ET-15-Meningokoken isoliert, was einer Trägerrate von 0,05% entspricht. Im Landkreis Rottal/ Inn wurden keine ET-15-Meningokokken gefunden. Während des …
