Journal ArticleDOI
Polymerase Chain Reaction Detection of Leishmania kDNA from the Urine of Peruvian Patients with Cutaneous and Mucocutaneous Leishmaniasis
Nicolas Veland,Diego A. Espinosa,Braulio M. Valencia,Ana Pilar Ramos,Flor Calderon,Jorge Arevalo,Donald E. Low,Alejandro Llanos-Cuentas,Andrea K. Boggild +8 more
TL;DR: Preliminary data in a small number of patients suggest detectable kDNA in urine may identify less localized forms of infection and inform treatment decisions, and is sub-optimal for diagnosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activities of new fluoroquinolones, ketolides, and other antimicrobials against blood culture isolates of viridans group streptococci from across Canada, 2000.
Andrea S. Gershon,Joyce C. S. de Azavedo,Joyce C. S. de Azavedo,Allison McGeer,Allison McGeer,Krystyna Ostrowska,Deirdre L. Church,Daryl J. Hoban,Godfrey K. M. Harding,Karl Weiss,Lewis Abbott,Fiona Smaill,M. Gourdeau,Gilles Murray,Donald E. Low,Donald E. Low +15 more
TL;DR: The rates of nonsusceptibility to penicillin, erythromycin, and clindamycin of 191 blood culture isolates of viridans group streptococci collected from across Canada in 2000 were 36, 42, and 10%, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic incongruence in E. coli O104: understanding the evolutionary relationships of emerging pathogens in the face of homologous recombination.
Weilong Hao,Vanessa Allen,Vanessa Allen,Frances B. Jamieson,Frances B. Jamieson,Donald E. Low,Donald E. Low,David C. Alexander +7 more
TL;DR: Through comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of five O104:H4 ST678 genomes, 167 genes in three gene clusters that have undergone homologous recombination with distantly related E. coli strains have been identified, resulting in unexpectedly high sequence diversity within the same sequence type.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-Level Telithromycin Resistance in a Clinical Isolate of Streptococcus pneumoniae
TL;DR: This study shows that high-level telithromycin resistance is conferred by erm(B), wild type or mutant, in combination with a 69GTG71-to-TPS mutation in ribosomal protein L4.
Journal Article
Prevalence of bloodborne infective agents among people admitted to a Canadian hospital
TL;DR: This is the first report defining rates of infection with these bloodborne agents among patients admitted to a Canadian hospital and the observed rates likely reflect the patient population served by the hospital and do not necessarily apply to other Canadian centres.
