Pounder, June I.; Voelkerding, Karl V.; Storts, D.; Anderson, Clint M. | Differentiation of species within mycobacterium tuberculosis complex by real-time PCR-based genomic deletion analysis | Differentiation of members within Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) is essential for patient management and infection control. MTC is comprised of M. tuberculosis (Mtb), M. bovis (Mb), M. bovis BCG (vaccine strain; Mbcg), M. africanum (Ma), and M. microti (Mm). Because MTC have highly similar... | MTC; species differentiation; Mycobacterium bovis BCG; Mycobacterium africanum; Mycobacterium microtic; PCR | 2006-01-09 |

Pounder, June I.; Simmon, Keith E.; Barton, Claudia A.; Hohmann, Sheri L. | Identification of nonsporulating molds by sequencing internal transcribed spacer regions with Virodec software and database | Fungal infections are increasing, particularly among immunocompromised hosts, and a rapid, accurate diagnosis is essential for the initiation of targeted antifungal therapy. Identification of fungi from culture requires the presence of reproductive structures, and the absence of spores can increase ... | nonsporulating molds; genetic sequencing; Virodec; ITS I; ITS II | 2006-01-09 |
