Mycobacterium bovis Persistence in Two Different Captive Wild Animal Populations in Germany: a Longitudinal Molecular Epidemiological Study Revealing Pathogen Transmission by Whole-Genome Sequencing.

abstract：:A newly developed enzyme immunoassay (EIA) was used to detect the presence of pneumococcal teichoic and lipoteichoic acids in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from patients with Streptococcus pneumoniae meningitis who were being treated with antibiotics. All initial CSF samples, which on culture grew S. pneumoniae, were posi...
