Journal ArticleDOI
Novel Multiplex PCR Assay for Characterization and Concomitant Subtyping of Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec Types I to V in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
TL;DR: A novel multiplex PCR assay allowing for concomitant detection of the methicillin resistance (mecA gene) to facilitate detection and classification of all currently described SCCmec types and subtypes I, II, III, IVa, b, c, d, and V is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infection-induced NETosis is a dynamic process involving neutrophil multitasking in vivo
Bryan G. Yipp,Björn Petri,Davide Salina,Craig N. Jenne,Brittney N V Scott,Lori Zbytnuik,Keir Pittman,Muhammad Asaduzzaman,Kaiyu Wu,H. Christopher Meijndert,Stephen E. Malawista,Anne de Boisfleury Chevance,Kunyan Zhang,John Conly,Paul Kubes +14 more
TL;DR: Early in infection NETosis involves neutrophils that do not undergo lysis and retain the ability to multitask, and a requirement for both Toll-like receptor 2 and complement-mediated opsonization tightly regulated NET release.
Journal ArticleDOI
New Quadriplex PCR Assay for Detection of Methicillin and Mupirocin Resistance and Simultaneous Discrimination of Staphylococcus aureus from Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci
Kunyan Zhang,Jennifer Sparling,Barbara L. Chow,Sameer Elsayed,Zafar Hussain,Deirdre L. Church,Daniel B. Gregson,Thomas J. Louie,John Conly +8 more
TL;DR: This assay represents a simple, rapid, accurate, and reliable approach for the detection of methicillin- and mupirocin-resistant staphylococci and offers the hope of preventing their widespread dissemination through early and reliable detection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel Multiplex PCR Assay for Detection of the Staphylococcal Virulence Marker Panton-Valentine Leukocidin Genes and Simultaneous Discrimination of Methicillin-Susceptible from -Resistant Staphylococci
Jo-Ann McClure,John Conly,Vicky Lau,Sameer Elsayed,Thomas J. Louie,Wendy Hutchins,Kunyan Zhang +6 more
TL;DR: A new multiplex PCR assay for detection of Panton-Valentine leukocidin virulence genes and simultaneous discrimination of methicillin-susceptible from -resistant staphylococci is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Handwashing practices in an intensive care unit: The effects of an educational program and its relationship to infection rates
TL;DR: An educational and enforcement program designed to improve handwashing procedures can significantly reduce endemic nosocomial infection rates.
