Journal ArticleDOI
Laboratory medicine in Africa: a barrier to effective health care.
TL;DR: The barriers to implementing consistent testing within this region are explored and the need for a more comprehensive approach to the diagnosis of infectious diseases is illustrated, with an emphasis on making laboratory testing a higher priority is illustrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection and identification of microorganisms by gene amplification and sequencing.
TL;DR: In this paper, a review explains sequence-based microbial classification, with emphasis on relating the complex world of microbial taxonomy to a clinical context, and discusses a rational approach to broad-range bacterial polymerase chain reaction and gene sequencing when applied directly to clinical samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impaired neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation: a novel innate immune deficiency of human neonates
Christian C. Yost,Mark J. Cody,Estelle S. Harris,Nathan L. Thornton,Alison M. McInturff,Mark L. Martinez,Nancy B. Chandler,Christopher K. Rodesch,Kurt H. Albertine,Cathy A. Petti,Andrew S. Weyrich,Guy A. Zimmerman +11 more
TL;DR: It is found that neutrophils from term and preterm infants fail to form NETs when activated by inflammatory agonists-in contrast to leukocytes from healthy adults, and this deficiency in NET formation may be a critical facet of a common developmental immunodeficiency that predisposes newborn infants to infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sequence-Based Identification of Aspergillus, Fusarium, and Mucorales Species in the Clinical Mycology Laboratory: Where Are We and Where Should We Go from Here?
S. A. Balajee,Andrew M. Borman,Mary E. Brandt,Joan Cano,Manuel Cuenca-Estrella,Eric Dannaoui,Josep Guarro,Gerhard Haase,Christopher C. Kibbler,Wieland Meyer,Kerry O'Donnell,Cathy A. Petti,J. L. Rodriguez-Tudela,Deanna A. Sutton,Aristea Velegraki,Brian L. Wickes +15 more
TL;DR: The purpose of an “identification” method in a clinical microbiology laboratory is the ability to provide a specific name or epithet to an organism rapidly and with precision, without the complex experimental research or detailed phylogenetic analyses vital for a taxonomic “classification’ scheme.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of 16S rRNA gene sequencing in identification of microorganisms misidentified by conventional methods.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the initial identifications of three bacterial blood isolates from three different College of American Pathologists-certified laboratories were erroneous, may have misled clinicians, and potentially impacted patient care.
