Journal ArticleDOI

Development and Clinical Evaluation of a Highly Sensitive PCR-Reverse Hybridization Line Probe Assay for Detection and Identification of Anogenital Human Papillomavirus

TL;DR: The SPF LiPA method allows extremely sensitive detection of HPV DNA as well as reliable identification of HPV genotypes in both cervical smears and paraffin-embedded materials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of phage typing and DNA fingerprinting by polymerase chain reaction for discrimination of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains.

TL;DR: A typing procedure for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of both mecA sequences and variable DNA sequences as present in the prokaryotic genome has been developed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae by Two Polymerase Chain Reactions and Role of M. pneumoniae in Acute Respiratory Tract Infections in Pediatric Patients

TL;DR: Provided a specific internal control is used, sample preparation by freeze-boiling combined with PCR for the PI gene and amplicon detection by visual inspection of the electrophoresis gel can be recommended, although maximal results are obtained after hybridization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Importance of Helicobacter pylori cagA and vacA status for the efficacy of antibiotic treatment.

TL;DR: The strong association between the cagA and vacA status and peptic ulcer disease was confirmed and cure rates seem to be higher for patients with H pylori strains, which is consistent with the higher cure rate observed among ulcer patients compared with functional dyspepsia patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nosocomial colonization and infection with multiresistant Acinetobacter baumannii : outbreak delineation using DNA macrorestriction analysis and PCR-fingerprinting

TL;DR: Wider use of sensitive genotypic methods like DNA macrorestriction analysis and PCR-mediated fingerprinting for typing nosocomial pathogens should improve the detection of micro-epidemics amenable to early control.
