Assessment of Atopobium vaginae and Gardnerella vaginalis concentrations in a cohort of pregnant South African women

Redelinghuys, Mathys J.; Ehlers, Marthie Magdaleen; Bezuidenhout, J.E.; Becker, Piet J.; Kock, Marleen M. (BMJ Publishing Group, 2017-09)

OBJECTIVES : The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to assess Atopobium vaginae and Gardnerella vaginalis concentrations in pregnant women of different age groups, gestational age groups, vaginal flora categories ...
Development of simple and effective PCR based assay to detect PCCA mutation (c.425G > A) among Saudi carriers and functional study of the homozygous PCCA mutations

Al-Asmari, Ali; Peer-Zada, Abdul Ali; AlDehaimi, Abdulwahed; Polychronakos, Constantin; Chentoufi, Aziz Alami (Elsevier, 2022-12)

The aim of this study is to develop a rapid and effective method to screen for Saudi carriers of one of the most common propionic acidemia mutations (c.425G > A) and to study the functional impact of this mutation. Using ...
Epigenomics, genomics, resistome, mobilome, virulome and evolutionary phylogenomics of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical strains

Kopotsa, Katlego; Mbelle, Nontombi Marylucy; Osei Sekyere, John (Microbiology Society, 2020-11-10)

Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) remains a major clinical pathogen and public health threat with few therapeutic options. The mobilome, resistome, methylome, virulome and phylogeography of CRKP in South ...
Evaluation of a real-time PCR assay for detection and quantification of bacterial DNA directly in blood of preterm neonates with suspected late-onset sepsis

Van den Brand, Marre; Van den Dungen, Frank A.M.; Bos, Martine P.; Van Weissenbruch, Mirjam M.; Van Furth, A. Marceline; De Lange, Annemieke; Rubenjan, Anna; Peters, Remco P.H.; Savelkoul, Paul H.M. (BioMed Central, 2018-04-22)

BACKGROUND : Rapid and accurate diagnosis of neonatal sepsis is highly warranted because of high associated morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of a novel multiplex PCR assay ...
Frequency of circulating CD4+Ki67+HLA-DR− T regulatory cells prior to treatment for multidrug resistant tuberculosis can differentiate the severity of disease and predict time to culture conversion

Ferrian, Selena; Ross, Melinda; Conradie, Francesca; Omar, Shaheed Vally; Ismail, Nazir Ahmed; Little, Francesca; Kaplan, Gilla; allows, Dorothy F; Gray, Clive M. (Frontiers Media, 2018-10-25)

Identifying a blood circulating cellular biomarker that can be used to assess severity of disease and predict the time to culture conversion (TCC) in patients with multidrug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) would facilitate ...
Laboratory evaluation of the BioFire FilmArray Pneumonia plus panel compared to conventional methods for the identification of bacteria in lower respiratory tract specimens : a prospective cross-sectional study from South Africa

Mitton, Barend C.; Rule, Roxanne; Said, H.M. (Halima Mohammed) (Elsevier, 2021-02)

Lower respiratory tract infections are important causes of morbidity and mortality. The global increase in antimicrobial resistance necessitates rapid diagnostic assays. The BioFire FilmArray Pneumonia plus (FAPP) panel ...
Molecular characteristics and genotypic diversity of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 isolates in Gauteng region, South Africa

Bolukaoto, John Y.; Kock, Marleen M.; Strydom, Kathy-Anne; Mbelle, Nontombi Marylucy; Ehlers, Marthie Magdaleen (Elsevier, 2019-11)

Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 is one of the major foodborne and waterborne pathogens causing severe diseases and outbreaks worldwide. There is scarcity of EHEC O157:H7 data in South Africa. This study ...
The population structure of clinical extra-intestinal Escherichia coli in a teaching hospital from Nigeria

Seni, Jeremiah; Peirano, Gisele; Okon, Kenneth Okwong; Jibrin, Yusuf Bara; Mohammed, Alkali; Mshana, Stephen E.; DeVinney, Rebekah; Pitout, Johann D.D. (Elsevier, 2018-09)

Limited information is available regarding the population structure of extra-intestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) in Africa. Antimicrobial resistance profiles, sequence types (STs) and fimH types were determined ...
Prevalence and detection of Trichomonas vaginalis in HIV-infected pregnant women

Price, Collin M.; Peters, Remco P.H.; Steyn, Janré; Mudau, Maanda; Olivier, Dawie; De Vos, Lindsey; Morikawa, Erika; Kock, Marleen M.; Medina-Marino, Andrew; Klausner, Jeffrey D. (Lippincott, Williams and Wilkins, 2018-05)

BACKGROUND : Trichomonas vaginalis is a sexually transmitted infection associated with increased transmission of HIV and significant adverse birth outcomes; culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are commonly used in ...
