Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical features and rapid viral diagnosis of human disease associated with avian influenza A H5N1 virus.

TL;DR: Avian Influenza A H5N1 virus causes human influenza-like illness with a high rate of complications in adults admitted to hospital, and rapid H5-subtype-specific laboratory diagnosis can be made by RT-PCR applied directly to clinical specimens.
Journal ArticleDOI

Emergence of Fluoroquinolone Resistance among Multiply Resistant Strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae in Hong Kong

TL;DR: The MICs of 17 antimicrobial agents for 181 Streptococcus pneumoniae strains were determined by the E-test and 69.1% were penicillin resistant (MIC > 0.06 μg/ml).
Journal ArticleDOI

Increasing resistance of Streptococcus pneumoniae to fluoroquinolones: results of a Hong Kong multicentre study in 2000

TL;DR: The prevalence of fluoroquinolone non-susceptibility (levofloxacin MIC > or = 4 mg/L) was 13.3%, but increased to 27.3% among the penicillin-resistant isolates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Usefulness of the MicroSeq 500 16S ribosomal DNA-based bacterial identification system for identification of clinically significant bacterial isolates with ambiguous biochemical profiles

TL;DR: The database of the MicroSeq 500 16S rDNA-based bacterial identification system has to be expanded in order to encompass the rarely encountered bacterial species and achieve better accuracy in bacterial identification.
