Real-Time PCR in Clinical Microbiology: Applications for Routine Laboratory Testing
Mark J. Espy,J. R. Uhl,Lynne M. Sloan,Seanne P. Buckwalter,Mary F. Jones,Emily A. Vetter,Joseph D. Yao,Nancy L. Wengenack,Jon E. Rosenblatt,Franklin R. Cockerill,Thomas F. Smith +10 more
TL;DR: Real-time PCR assays provide sensitivity and specificity equivalent to that of conventional PCR combined with Southern blot analysis, and since amplification and detection steps are performed in the same closed vessel, the risk of releasing amplified nucleic acids into the environment is negligible.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infective Endocarditis Due to Unusual or Fastidious Microorganisms
TL;DR: The microbiologic and clinical features of these organisms andRecommendations for diagnosis and treatment of infective endocarditis due to fastidious microorganisms are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age- and sex-associated trends in bloodstream infection: a population-based study in Olmsted County, Minnesota.

TL;DR: The incidence of BSI increases sharply with increasing age and is significantly higher in males, mainly because of nosocomial organisms, including S aureus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infective endocarditis caused by hacek microorganisms
TL;DR: The results confirm previous reports that HACEK endocarditis portends a favorable prognosis and were an insensitive predictor of subsequent major arterial embolization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiplex PCR detection of vanA, vanB, vanC-1, and vanC-2/3 genes in enterococci.
TL;DR: Multiplex PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism appears to be a useful and convenient method for rapidly detecting and discriminating genotypes for vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus spp.
