(Elsevier, 1999)The bacterial community structure of phosphate removing activated sludge systems were compared. Samples were obtained from 21 different activated sludge systems, differing in design and phosphorus removal. Community ...
-
(Water Research Council, 1999-01)The diversity and dynamics of microbial communities of phosphorus-removing and non-phosphorus-removing activated sludge systems have mostly been analysed by culture-dependent methods. A more direct method is the isolation ...
-
(Water Research Council, 1999-07)Samples from laboratory-scale activated sludge systems operating under spesific conditions which differ in phosphate-removing capabilities were obtained from the University of Cape Town. The total protein content of samples ...
-
(Elsevier, 2001)In this study, different carbon source profiles were generated by inoculating Biolog GN microwell plates, with different dilutions of microbial communities from a number of activated sludge systems. This led to the successful ...
-
(Elsevier, 2005-09)Polioviruses (PVs) are not associated with waterborne transmission to the same extent as many other enteric viruses. However, they are typically transmitted by the faecal-oral route, which implies that the risk of infection ...
-
(Water Resource Council, 2006)Please open article to read abstract
-
(Water Research Council, 2006-01)Faecal contamination of water sources can only be managed if the sources of pollution are identified and thus tools to distinguish between human and animal faecal sources are needed. Male-specific F-RNA coliphages have ...
-
(Medpharm Publications, 2006-09)The hepatitis A, B, C, D and E viruses primarily target the liver to cause viral hepatitis. Hepatitis A (HAV) and E (HEV) viruses are transmitted by the faecal-oral route and cause acute viral hepatitis. Acute viral hepatitis ...
-
(South African Medical Association, 2007-04)Two patients with African sleeping sickness (SS) presented to the neurology unit, Pretoria Academic Hospital, during 2004 and 2005. SS has shown a recent resurgence, with epidemics in the Sudan, Angola and the Democratic ...
-
(2008-10-23)Acinetobacter baumannii is an important cause of nosocomial infections in hospitals, with most cases occurring in immunocompromised patients. Nosocomial infections are most often associated with medical device related ...
-
(2008-10-23)Extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) are considered one of the most important antibiotic resistance mechanisms. Multidrug resistance is emerging in many Gram-negative pathogens and is associated with severe nosocomial ...
-
(2008-12-09)Extended-spectrum-beta-lactamases (ESBL) have been recovered from medical centres in South Africa since the late 1980’s but little is known about the various types of ESBLs present and their prevalence. Metallo-beta-lactamase ...
-
(Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2009)BACKGROUND: Non-typhoidal Salmonella are frequently food-borne zoonotic pathogens that may cause invasive disease in HIV-positive individuals. METHODOLOGY: Invasive isolates (n = 652) of Salmonella Typhimurium from human ...
-
(Bentham Science, 2009)BACKGROUND: This study was undertaken to determine co-infection rates of common aetiological agents of urethritis and information regarding sexual contacts of symptomatic males presenting to a family practitioner. METHODS: ...
-
(Elsevier, 2009)BACKGROUND: Little is known regarding the human papillomaviruses (HPV) genotypes prevalent inwomen in South Africa, a country with a high incidence of cervical cancer. OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence and HPV genotypes ...
-
(Federation of Infectious Diseases Societies of South Africa, 2009)Retrospective antibiotic surveillance data of selected invasive pathogens isolated from blood and cerebrospinal fluid at public sector hospitals in South Africa in 2007 are presented. Antimicrobial susceptibilities were ...
-
(Water Research Council, 2009-07)The use of different concentrations of sodium hypochlorite solutions (placebo; 1% and 3.5% sodium hypochlorite solutions) and 2 water-storage containers (traditional plastic container and the improved CDC safe water-storage ...
-
(Health and Medical Publishing Group, 2009-08)AIM: To investigate the profile of common uropathogens isolated from urine specimens submitted to the diagnostic microbiology laboratory at a tertiary teaching hospital and assess their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns ...
-
(International Federation of Infection Control (IFIC), 2010)Latex allergy is an important concern from an occupational safety aspect and affects compliance of glove usage, which directly influences infection control practices aimed at providing safe medical care for both the health ...
-
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2010)The recombinant vaccine, tgAAC09, based on an adeno-associated virus serotype 2 (AAV2) vector encoding HIV-1 subtype C Gag, protease, and part of reverse transcriptase, induced robust T cell and antibody responses in ...
