TL;DR: A case of typhoid fever associated with acute appendicitis caused by an S. enterica serotype Typhi H1-j strain in a Chinese woman in Hong Kong is described and a 261-bp deletion in the fliC gene of the isolate was confirmed, confirming that the isolate possessed the H 1-j antigen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of multilocus sequence typing schemes for 35 different bacteria revealed that gene loci of 10 bacteria could be replaced to improve cost-effectiveness
Patrick C. Y. Woo,Alan K.L. Tsang,Annette Y. P. Wong,Hui Chen,Jocelyn Chu,Susanna K. P. Lau,Kwok-Yung Yuen +6 more
TL;DR: The discriminatory powers of 36 MLST schemes are analyzed using all combinations of the 7 loci and contributions of each locus to the schemes to identify genes that have no additional or minimal contribution to the overall discriminatory powers and should be replaced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid Genomic Diagnosis of Fungal Infections in the Age of Next-Generation Sequencing.
TL;DR: A review of the current use of NGS for laboratory diagnosis of fungal infections can be found in this article, where Pneumocystis jirovecii is the predominant fungus reported, constituting 25% of the fungi detected.
