Journal ArticleDOI
16S rRNA gene sequencing for bacterial identification in the diagnostic laboratory: pluses, perils, and pitfalls.
TL;DR: The use of 16S rRNA gene sequences to study bacterial phylogeny and taxonomy has been by far the most common housekeeping genetic marker used for a number of reasons.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Genus Aeromonas: Taxonomy, Pathogenicity, and Infection
J M Janda,Sharon L. Abbott +1 more
TL;DR: An extensive review of issues still remain regarding the role that Aeromonas plays in bacterial gastroenteritis, the extent to which species identification should be attempted in the clinical laboratory, and laboratory reporting of test results from contaminated body sites containing aeromonads.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plesiomonas shigelloides Revisited
TL;DR: For years, recognizable virulence factors potentially associated with P. shigelloides pathogenicity were lacking; however, several good candidates now have been reported, including a cytotoxic hemolysin, iron acquisition systems, and lipopolysaccharide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Usefulness of multilocus polymerase chain reaction followed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry to identify a diverse panel of bacterial isolates.
Carson Baldwin,Gerald B. Howe,Ranga Sampath,Larry B. Blyn,Heather E. Matthews,Vanessa Harpin,Thomas A. Hall,Jared J. Drader,Steve Hofstadler,Mark W. Eshoo,Karl Rudnick,Karen Studarus,David Moore,Sharon L. Abbott,J. Michael Janda,Chris A. Whitehouse +15 more
TL;DR: This study shows that multilocus PCR/ESI-MS has the potential to be a useful technique for identifying a broad range of bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of Commercial Antisera for Salmonella Serotyping
Kimmi N. Schrader,Ali Fernandez-Castro,Wendy K. W. Cheung,Claudia M. Crandall,Sharon L. Abbott +4 more
TL;DR: Overall, Denka Seiken commercial antisera performed very well and, together with the comprehensive range of factors available, offer laboratories quality reagents suitable for serotyping strains of salmonellae.
