Structural diversity of class 1 integrons and their associated gene cassettes in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from a hospital in China
TL;DR: Data from this study demonstrated that class 1 integrons are highly diverse and are associated with a variety of drug resistance phenotypes, drug resistance genes, as well as genotypes among K. pneumoniae isolates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel Partitivirus Enhances Virulence of and Causes Aberrant Gene Expression in Talaromyces marneffei
Susanna K. P. Lau,George C.S. Lo,Franklin W.N. Chow,Rachel Y.Y. Fan,James J. Cai,Kwok-Yung Yuen,Patrick C. Y. Woo +6 more
TL;DR: The discovery of a novel partitivirus, TmPV1, in seven clinical isolates of T. marneffei is reported, the first report of a mycovirus in a thermal dimorphic fungus, and the present results offer insights into myCovirus-fungus interactions and pathogenesis of thermalDimorphic fungi.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clostridium bacteraemia characterised by 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing.
TL;DR: Patients with clinically relevant clostridium bacteraemia should be investigated for the presence of underlying disease processes in the gastrointestinal or hepatobiliary tracts, and 16S rRNA gene analysis will continue to be useful in further understanding the pathogenicity of various clastridium species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complete Genome Sequences of Novel Canine Noroviruses in Hong Kong
Herman Tse,Susanna K. P. Lau,Wan-Mui Chan,Garnet K. Y. Choi,Patrick C. Y. Woo,Kwok-Yung Yuen +5 more
TL;DR: The complete genome sequences of two novel isolates of norovirus isolated from the fecal swab specimens of dogs in Hong Kong suggested that these noroviruses are divergent from known norovIRuses and may represent a novel phylogenetic clade within the genus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cell-wall-deficient bacteria and culture-negative febrile episodes in bone-marrow-transplant recipients.
TL;DR: Bacteraemia due to cell-wall-deficient forms causes a significant proportion of so-called culture-negative febrile episodes in BMT recipients, and antibiotic treatment was successful in 19 (95%) of 20 episodes.
