Characterization to species level of Mycobacterium avium complex strains from human immunodeficiency virus-positive and -negative patients.

Abstract:

:Forty human clinical Mycobacterium avium-M. intracellulare complex strains isolated in Greece were characterized to the species level by PCR with three sets of primers specific for one or both species. M. avium predominated in both human immunodeficiency virus-positive and -negative patients, but the frequency of M. intracellulare isolation appeared to be higher in the latter.

  • Evaluation of Sensititre plates for identification of clinically relevant coagulase-negative staphylococci.

    abstract::Coagulase-negative staphylococcus isolates were identified using Sensititre GPID plates and API strips (n = 156). For selected isolates, partial sequencing of the 16S rRNA, sodA, and tuf genes was performed.
