Journal ArticleDOI
Frequent shedding of human herpesvirus 6 in saliva.
TL;DR: It is concluded that HHV‐6 is usually present in the saliva of most adults and that this affords a possible explanation of the high infection rate with this virus in young children.
Journal ArticleDOI
Duplex Real-Time Reverse Transcriptase PCR Assays for Rapid Detection and Identification of Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 and Seasonal Influenza A/H1, A/H3, and B Viruses
TL;DR: A real-time reverse transcriptase PCR assay for the detection of pandemic (H1N1) 2009 was designed and used with existing real- time RT-PCR assays for seasonal influenza viruses A and B to allow accurate, rapid, and cost-effective screening of large numbers of clinical samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Epidemiology of Scedosporium apiospermum Infection Determined by PCR Amplification of Ribosomal Intergenic Spacer Sequences in Patients with Chronic Lung Disease
Emma C. M. Williamson,David J. Speers,Ian Arthur,Gerald B. Harnett,Gerard Ryan,Timothy J. J. Inglis +5 more
TL;DR: A molecular typing method was developed to examine isolates collected from the respiratory medicine unit and elsewhere in Australia and demonstrated persistent carriage of isolates of the same type in one patient for 7 months, suggesting transmission to patients from a source in the unit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aeromonas aquariorum Is Widely Distributed in Clinical and Environmental Specimens and Can Be Misidentified as Aeromonas hydrophila
TL;DR: Aeromonas aquariorum was the most frequently isolated species in clinical and water samples and could be misidentified as Aeromonas hydrophila by phenotypic methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
High detection rates of nucleic acids of a wide range of respiratory viruses in the nasopharynx and the middle ear of children with a history of recurrent acute otitis media.

TL;DR: HRV was predominant in the middle ear and detected in middle ear effusion of 46% of children and the co‐detection of these viruses with Streptococcus pneumoniae, nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis was analyzed.
