Journal ArticleDOI
Sequencing of 16S rRNA gene: a rapid tool for identification of Bacillus anthracis.
Claudio Tavares Sacchi,Anne M. Whitney,Leonard W. Mayer,Roger E. Morey,Arnold G. Steigerwalt,Arijana Boras,Robin S. Weyant,Tanja Popovic +7 more
TL;DR: This report describes the first demonstration of an exclusive association of a distinct 16S sequence with B. anthracis and was able to rapidly identify suspected isolates and to detect the B. Anthracis 16S rRNA gene directly from culture-negative clinical specimens from seven patients with laboratory-confirmed anthrax.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nucleic acid-based methods for the detection of bacterial pathogens: Present and future considerations for the clinical laboratory
TL;DR: A major area of advancement in nucleic acid-based assay development has been for specific and broad-range detection of bacterial pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outbreak of W135 Meningococcal Disease in 2000: Not Emergence of a New W135 Strain but Clonal Expansion within the Electophoretic Type-37 Complex

Whitney,Yagoub Al-Mazrou,Mohammed Al-Jefri,Amin Mishkhis,Sameer Sabban,Dominique A. Caugant,Jairam R. Lingappa,Nancy E. Rosenstein,Tanja Popovic +17 more
TL;DR: To elucidate the origin of the outbreak strains and to investigate their relatedness to major clonal groups, genotypic and phenotypic subtyping was performed on 26 MenW135 outbreak-associated isolates and 50 meningitidis serogroup W135 isolates collected worldwide from 1970 through 2000.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bordetella holmesii sp. nov., a new gram-negative species associated with septicemia.
Robbin S. Weyant,Dannie G. Hollis,Robert E. Weaver,M. F. M. Amin,Arnold G. Steigerwalt,S P O'Connor,Anne M. Whitney,Maryam I. Daneshvar,C W Moss,Don J. Brenner +9 more
TL;DR: DNA relatedness studies (hydroxyapatite method) confirmed a close relatedness betweenNO-2 and Bordetella species and demonstrated that NO-2 strains were a single new species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of 16S rRNA Gene Sequencing for Rapid Identification and Differentiation of Burkholderia pseudomallei and B. mallei
Jay E. Gee,Claudio Tavares Sacchi,Mindy B. Glass,Barun K. De,Robbin S. Weyant,Paul N. Levett,Anne M. Whitney,Alex R. Hoffmaster,Tanja Popovic +8 more
TL;DR: The use of 16S rRNA gene sequencing is evaluated to rapidly identify Burkholderia pseudomallei and B. mallei and differentiate them from each other as well as from closely related species and genera.
