Ari B. Molofsky,Brenda G. Byrne,Natalie N. Whitfield,Cressida A. Madigan,Etsu T. Fuse,Kazuhiro Tateda,Michele S. Swanson +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported that mouse macrophages restricted Legionella pneumophila replication and initiated a proinfl ammatory program of cell death when fl agellin contaminated their cytosol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surveillance for severe acute respiratory infections in Southern Arizona, 2010-2014.
Zimy Wansaula,Sonja J. Olsen,Mariana Casal,Catherine Golenko,Laura M. Erhart,Peter E. Kammerer,Natalie N. Whitfield,Orion McCotter,Orion McCotter +8 more
TL;DR: The Binational Border Infectious Disease Surveillance program began surveillance for severe acute respiratory infections on the US–Mexico border in 2009 and patients in Southern Arizona are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical Utility of Advanced Microbiology Testing Tools
Melissa B. Miller,Faranak Atrzadeh,Carey-Ann D. Burnham,Stephen J. Cavalieri,James J Dunn,Stephen M. Jones,Charles Mathews,Peggy McNult,John Meduri,Christopher Newhouse,Duane W. Newton,Michael Oberholzer,J Osiecki,David Pedersen,Nicole Sweeney,Natalie N. Whitfield,Joe Campos +16 more
TL;DR: How to best conduct clinical studies to demonstrate and communicate clinical utility to payers and to set reasonable expectations for what diagnostic manufacturers should be required to demonstrate to support reimbursement from commercial payer and utilization by hospital systems are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mouse Macrophages Are Permissive to Motile Legionella Species That Fail To Trigger Pyroptosis
TL;DR: The results point to the complexity of disease, a product of the pathogenic potential of the microbe, as defined in the laboratory, and the capacity of the host to mount a measured defense.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical Performance of the Novel GenMark Dx ePlex Blood Culture ID Gram-Positive Panel
Karen C. Carroll,Jennifer Reid,Adam Thornberg,Natalie N. Whitfield,Deirdre Trainor,Shawna Lewis,Teresa Wakefield,Thomas E. Davis,Keisha G. Church,Linoj Samuel,Ray Mills,Patricia Jim,Stephen G. Young,Frederick S. Nolte +13 more
TL;DR: The ePlex BCID-GP Panel compares favorably to SOC and targeted molecular methods for the identification of 20 Gram-positive pathogens and four antimicrobial resistance genes in positive blood culture bottles.
