Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The independent risk factors determined here point to the impact of S. aureus SCVs on chronic and persistent infections in advanced CF lung disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
First case of human babesiosis in Germany - Clinical presentation and molecular characterisation of the pathogen.
TL;DR: The findings suggest that human babesiosis occurs in Germany and can take a chronic course in immunocompromised individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanism of complement resistance of pathogenic Borrelia burgdorferi isolates.
TL;DR: In complement-resistant Borreliae, two outer surface proteins, the 27.5 kDa (CRASP-1, complement regulator-acquiring surface protein 1) and the 20/21 kDa, are responsible for the surface attachment of the two complement regulators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heterogeneity in the complement-dependent bacteriolysis within the species of Borrelia burgdorferi.
TL;DR: Sixteen Borrelia burgdorferi strains, including all three species, were compared in a colorimetric bactericidal assay for their ability to escape the complement-dependent bacteriolysis on incubation in normal human serum free of specific antibodies (NHS).
Journal ArticleDOI
Elution characteristics of vancomycin, teicoplanin, gentamicin and clindamycin from calcium sulphate beads
TL;DR: In vitro release of vancomycin, teicoplanin, gentamicin and clindamycin from biodegradable calcium sulphate (CaSO(4) beads may prove to be effective in the management of chronic bone infections.
