Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation, sensitivity, and specificity of Limulus lysate for endotoxin assay.
J. H. Jorgensen,Rodney F. Smith +1 more
TL;DR: Variations in batch potencies were observed, but little variation in reactivity among different endotoxin preparations was noted, and lysate quality appeared diminished in 1972 as compared with 1971.
Journal Article
Rapid detection of gram negative bacteriuria by use of the Limulus endotoxin assay
TL;DR: The Limulus in vitro endotoxin assay was evaluated as a possible method for the prompt detection of significant gram-negative bacteriuria in children and indicates that the Limulus assay is a simple, accurate method for rapid presumptive detection in patients where an immediate diagnosis is needed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid Detection of Gram-Negative Bacteriuria by Use of the Limulus Endotoxin Assay
TL;DR: The Limulus in vitro endotoxin assay was evaluated as a possible method for the prompt detection of significant gram-negative bacteriuria in children and indicates that the Limulus assay is a simple, accurate method for rapid presumptive detection in patients where an immediate diagnosis is needed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid detection of contaminated intravenous fluids using the Limulus in vitro endotoxin assay.
J. H. Jorgensen,Rodney F. Smith +1 more
TL;DR: The Limulus in vitro assay for endotoxin was used in two patients whose parenteral fluids had become contaminated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa as mentioned in this paper, which demonstrated a concomitant endotoxemia in both patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacteremia and postmortem microbiology in burned children
TL;DR: During a three-year period, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were the organisms most commonly isolated from blood cultures of burned children.
