Journal ArticleDOI
Unusual Laboratory Findings in a Case of Norwegian Scabies Provided a Clue to Diagnosis
TL;DR: Serpiginous tracks were noted on the surface of Sabouraud dextrose agar used for fungal culture of the skin scrapings in a laboratory manifestation that must alert clinical microbiologists to the possible diagnosis of scabies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Streptococcus hongkongensis sp. nov., isolated from a patient with an infected puncture wound and from a marine flatfish.
Susanna K. P. Lau,Shirly O. T. Curreem,Cherry C. N. Lin,Ami M. Y. Fung,Kwok-Yung Yuen,Patrick C. Y. Woo +5 more
TL;DR: Phylogenetic analysis of four additional housekeeping genes showed that the three isolates formed a distinct branch among known species of the genus Streptococcus, being most closely related to S. parauberis (CCUG 39954(T).
Journal ArticleDOI

Sunitha Joseph,Ulrich Wernery,Jade Ll Teng,Renate Wernery,Yi Huang,Nissy A. Patteril,Kwok-Hung Chan,Shyna K. Elizabeth,Rachel Y.Y. Fan,Susanna K. P. Lau,Jörg Kinne,Patrick C. Y. Woo +11 more
TL;DR: The present study is the first to demonstrate the isolation of WNV from dromedaries, and expands the possible reservoirs of W NV and sources ofWNV infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Talaromyces marneffei Mp1p Is a Virulence Factor that Binds and Sequesters a Key Proinflammatory Lipid to Dampen Host Innate Immune Response
Kong-Hung Sze,Wai-Hei Lam,Hongmin Zhang,Hongmin Zhang,Yi-Hong Ke,Man-Kit Tse,Patrick C. Y. Woo,Susanna K. P. Lau,Candy C. Y. Lau,Jian-Piao Cai,Edward T. K. Tung,Raymond K. C. Lo,Simin Xu,Richard Y.T. Kao,Quan Hao,Kwok-Yung Yuen +15 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that T. marneffei depletes levels of a key proinflammatory lipid mediator arachidonic acid to evade the host innate immune defense, and it is expected that this novel class of fatty-acid-binding proteins sequestering key pro inflammatory lipid mediators represents a general virulence mechanism of pathogenic fungi.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metagenomic analysis of Sichuan takin fecal sample viromes reveals novel enterovirus and astrovirus.
Tian-Pei Guan,Jade L. L. Teng,Kai-Yan Yeong,Zhang-Qiang You,Hao Liu,Samson S. Y. Wong,Susanna K. P. Lau,Patrick C. Y. Woo +7 more
TL;DR: Sichuan takin enterovirus is a novel serotype/genotype of the species Enterovirus G, with evidence of recombination and is a new subtype of bovine astrovirus, probably belonging to a new genogroup in the genus Mamastrovirus.
