Thermo-tolerant Campylobacter fetus bacteraemia identified by 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing: an emerging pathogen in immunocompromised patients.
Patrick C. Y. Woo,Kit-Wah Leung,Hoi-Wah Tsoi,Samson S. Y. Wong,Jade L. L. Teng,Kwok-Yung Yuen +5 more
TL;DR: Because of the ability of C fetus to grow over a wide range of temperatures and a higher incidence of bacteraemia by this organism than C. jejuni in the past 5 years in Hong Kong, thermo-tolerant C fetus may be an emerging pathogen in immunocompromised patients in the years to come.
Journal ArticleDOI
Signature Gene Expression Reveals Novel Clues to the Molecular Mechanisms of Dimorphic Transition in Penicillium marneffei
Ence Yang,Wang Ngai Chow,Gang Wang,Patrick C. Y. Woo,Susanna K. P. Lau,Kwok-Yung Yuen,Xiaorong Lin,James J. Cai +7 more
TL;DR: Analysis of signature expression patterns suggested diverse roles of secreted proteins at different developmental stages and the potential importance of non-coding RNAs in mycelium-to-yeast transition in P. marneffei, showing that RNA structural transition in response to temperature changes may be related to the control of thermal dimorphism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical and Molecular Epidemiology of Erythromycin-Resistant Beta-Hemolytic Lancefield Group G Streptococci Causing Bacteremia
TL;DR: Among 100 patients with group G beta-hemolytic streptococcal bacteremia in a 6-year period (1997 to 2002), five of the seven patients had cellulitis and/or abscesses and one of those resistant to both erythromycin and clindamycin possessed mef genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Systematic Approach to Novel Virus Discovery in Emerging Infectious Disease Outbreaks
Siddharth Sridhar,Kelvin K. W. To,Jasper Fuk-Woo Chan,Susanna K. P. Lau,Patrick C. Y. Woo,Kwok-Yung Yuen +5 more
TL;DR: This review appraises the roles of culture, electron microscopy, and nucleic acid detection–based methods in optimizing virus discovery and suggests a systematic approach that incorporates carefully chosen combinations of virus detection techniques is required for successful virus discovery.
Journal ArticleDOI
High Mortality Associated with Catabacter hongkongensis Bacteremia
Susanna K. P. Lau,Rachel Y.Y. Fan,Hoo-Wing Lo,Ricky H. Y. Ng,Samson S. Y. Wong,Iris W. S. Li,Alan K.L. Wu,Kenneth H. L. Ng,Steven Tseung,Rodney A. Lee,Kitty S. C. Fung,Tak-Lun Que,Kwok-Yung Yuen,Patrick C. Y. Woo +13 more
TL;DR: Catabacter hongkongensis bacteremia is associated with a poor prognosis, with a high mortality of 50% among reported cases, especially in patients with advanced malignancies, and all reported isolates were susceptible to metronidazole.
