Journal ArticleDOI

Resistance Mechanisms of Multiresistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Strains from Germany and Correlation with Hypermutation

TL;DR: Eleven out of 12 strains and 3 out of 10 strains from CF patients and non-CF patients, respectively, were hypermutable, which should be taken into consideration for the treatment of multiresistant P. aeruginosa.
Journal ArticleDOI

Concordant genotype of upper and lower airways P aeruginosa and S aureus isolates in cystic fibrosis

TL;DR: The presence of identical genotypes in UAW and LAW suggests that the UAW play a role as a reservoir of S aureus and P aeruginosa in CF, and further longitudinal analyses and comparison with invasive methods are required.
Journal ArticleDOI

Population pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of continuous versus short-term infusion of imipenem-cilastatin in critically ill patients in a randomized, controlled trial

TL;DR: This study studied 20 critically ill patients with nosocomial pneumonia and investigated whether continuous infusion with a reduced total dose, compared to the standard regimen of intermittent short-term infusion, results in a superior probability of target attainment as assessed by the fT>MIC value of imipenem.
Journal ArticleDOI

Culture independent Raman spectroscopic identification of urinary tract infection pathogens: a proof of principle study.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Raman microspectroscopy in combination with support vector machines allow an identification of important UTI bacteria within two hours without the need of a culture step.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of microbial cultivation and a commercial PCR based method for detection of periodontopathogenic species in subgingival plaque samples.

TL;DR: Nucleic acid techniques should replace cultivation methods as gold standard in microbiological diagnosis of progressive periodontitis and the micro-Dent(R) kit can be recommended for microbiological laboratories analysing subgingival plaque samples.
