Simultaneous Detection of Neisseria meningitidis, Haemophilus influenzae, and Streptococcus pneumoniae in Suspected Cases of Meningitis and Septicemia Using Real-Time PCR
Caroline Corless,Malcolm Guiver,Ray Borrow,Valerie Edwards-Jones,Andrew J. Fox,Edward B. Kaczmarski +5 more
TL;DR: A single-tube 5′ nuclease multiplex PCR assay was developed on the ABI 7700 Sequence Detection System (TaqMan) for the detection of Neisseria meningitidis, Haemophilus influenzae, and Streptococcus pneumoniae from clinical samples of cerebrospinal fluid, plasma, serum, and whole blood.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contamination and Sensitivity Issues with a Real-Time Universal 16S rRNA PCR
Caroline E. Corless,Malcolm Guiver,Ray Borrow,Valerie Edwards-Jones,Edward B. Kaczmarski,Andrew J. Fox +5 more
TL;DR: A set of universal oligonucleotide primers specific for the conserved regions of the eubacterial 16S rRNA gene was designed for use with the real-time PCR Applied Biosystems 7700 (TaqMan) system, but problems were noted with the use of this gene as an amplification target.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of Acticoat™ with nanocrystalline silver in the management of burns
Ken Dunn,Valerie Edwards-Jones +1 more
TL;DR: This article collects together a number of presentations that were given at the 2003 European Burns Association Meeting on the use of Acticoat in the management of burns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid discrimination between methicillin-sensitive and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus by intact cell mass spectrometry
TL;DR: ICMS spectra for 20 staphylococcal isolates showed characteristic peaks, some of which were conserved at species level, some at strain level and some were characteristic of the methicillin susceptibility status of the strain.
Journal ArticleDOI
The benefits of silver in hygiene, personal care and healthcare.
TL;DR: Increasing evidence of improved antimicrobial activity of nanoparticles of silver and possible dual immunomodulatory effects are exciting, which may lead to further product development as potential alternative preservatives as some currently available preservatives have an increasing incidence of allergic reactions.
