Cryptococcal antigen test revisited: significance for cryptococcal meningitis therapy monitoring in a tertiary chinese hospital.

abstract：:We isolated and characterized a Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal-specific DNA region by arbitrary PCR. The fragment contains open reading frames encoding two potential glycosyltransferases possibly involved in capsular polysaccharide or lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis. In order to evaluate the possibility that this region ...
