Journal ArticleDOI
Infectious Complications of Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography: A Prospective Assessment
TL;DR: The occurrence of bacteremia following ERCP is low, but there is a risk of transmission of potential nosocomial pathogens with this procedure.
Journal Article

TL;DR: The development of severe invasive infection in dogs resulting from GGS indicates that a virulent form of GGS has developed in southern Ontario.
Journal ArticleDOI
Streptococcus iniae Virulence Is Associated with a Distinct Genetic Profile
Jeffrey D. Fuller,Jeffrey D. Fuller,Darrin J. Bast,Darrin J. Bast,Victor Nizet,Donald E. Low,Donald E. Low,Joyce C. S. de Azavedo,Joyce C. S. de Azavedo +8 more
TL;DR: Resistance to phagocytic clearance and direct cytotoxicity appear to be discriminating virulence attributes of the disease-associated clone of Streptococcus iniae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of Invasive Group B Streptococcus Strains from the Greater Toronto Area, Canada
Sarah Teatero,Allison McGeer,Allison McGeer,Donald E. Low,Donald E. Low,Aimin Li,Walter Demczuk,Irene Martin,Nahuel Fittipaldi +8 more
TL;DR: The findings underline the importance of recombination in GBS pathogenesis and caution against the use of single-gene-based PCR tests to detect CC17 GBS strains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of Specific Nested Oligonucleotide PCR Primers for the Streptococcus iniae 16S-23S Ribosomal DNA Intergenic Spacer
Brian R. Berridge,Jeffrey D. Fuller,Joyce C. S. de Azavedo,Donald E. Low,Herve Bercovier,Paul F. Frelier +5 more
TL;DR: A set of nested oligonucleotide PCR primers that specifically amplified a 373-bp subunit from a variety of clinical isolates from farmed fish and human patients were constructed from a 524-bp consensus sequence of the S. iniae 16S-23S ribosomal DNA intergenic spacer.
