   Superiority of molecular techniques for identification of gram-negative, oxidase-positive rods, including morphologically nontypical <em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</em>, from patients with cystic fibrosis

   Relevance:

   Phenotypic identification of gram-negative bacteria from Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients carries a high risk of misidentification. Therefore, we compared the results of biochemical identification by API

2. Rapid detection of Brucella spp. in blood cultures by fluorescence in situ hybridization (Publications)

   Rapid detection of Brucella spp. in blood cultures by fluorescence in situ hybridization

   Relevance:

   Brucellosis is a severe systemic disease in humans. We describe a new 16S rRNA-based fluorescence in situ hybridization assay that facilitates rapid and specific detection of all human pathogenic spec

   <em>Schistosoma mansoni</em> in schoolchildren in a Madagascan highland school assessed by PCR and sedimentation microscopy and Bayesian estimation of sensitivities and specificities

   Relevance:

   Madagascar is an endemic area for schistosomiasis, but recent prevalence data are scarce. We investigated stool samples of 410 children aged 4-18 years from a combined primary and secondary school in

4. Travel-acquired subcutaneous <em>Sparganum proliferum</em> infection diagnosed by molecular methods (Publications)

   Travel-acquired subcutaneous <em>Sparganum proliferum</em> infection diagnosed by molecular methods

   Relevance:

5. Rapid identification of <em>Fusobacterium nucleatum</em> and <em>Fusobacterium necrophorum</em> by fluorescence in situ hybridization (Publications)

   Rapid identification of <em>Fusobacterium nucleatum</em> and <em>Fusobacterium necrophorum</em> by fluorescence in situ hybridization

   Relevance:

   Identification of clinically relevant Fusobacterium spp. is hampered by their slow growth, their frequent occurrence in polymicrobial culture, and the low reliability of biochemical differentiation me

6. Multiple infections of rodents with zoonotic pathogens in Austria (Publications)

   Multiple infections of rodents with zoonotic pathogens in Austria

   Relevance:

   Rodents are important reservoirs for a large number of zoonotic pathogens. We examined the occurrence of 11 viral, bacterial, and parasitic agents in rodent populations in Austria, including three dif

7. Prevalence and genetic characterization of <em>Anaplasma marginale</em> in zebu cattle (<em>Bos indicus</em>) and their ticks (<em>Amblyomma... (Publications)

   Prevalence and genetic characterization of <em>Anaplasma marginale</em> in zebu cattle (<em>Bos indicus</em>) and their ticks (<em>Amblyomma variegatum, Rhipicephalus microplus</em>) from Madagascar

   Relevance:

   Tick-borne bovine anaplasmosis, caused by the obligate intracellular pathogen Anaplasma marginale (Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae), is a major constraint to cattle production in tropical and subtropic

8. Rapid identification of beta-hemolytic streptococci by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) (Publications)

   Rapid identification of beta-hemolytic streptococci by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)

   Relevance:

   Rapid identification of pathogenic, beta-hemolytic streptococci is important for treatment decisions. We evaluated fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for this purpose using 23 reference strains

9. Biology and clinical significance of chlamydiae (Publications)

   Biology and clinical significance of chlamydiae

   Relevance:

10. <em>Chlamydia pneumoniae</em> in an ex vivo human artery culture model (Publications)

    <em>Chlamydia pneumoniae</em> in an ex vivo human artery culture model

    Relevance:

    The role of the obligate intracellular pathogen Chlamydia pneumoniae in the development of atherosclerosis could not be completely clarified. Reasons are the highly discrepant results obtained in the
