Prediction of Susceptibility to First-Line Tuberculosis Drugs by DNA Sequencing
susceptibility to first-line antituberculosis drugs has not been clear. METHODS: We obtained whole-genome sequences and associated phenotypes of resistance or susceptibility to the first-line antituberculosis ...
Eight years after an international workshop on myotonic dystrophy patient registries: case study of a global collaboration for a rare disease.
agreed in 2009. These registries represent over 10,000 myotonic dystrophy patients worldwide (Europe, North America, Asia and Oceania). RESULTS: The registries use a variety of data collection methods ...
Application of whole genome data for in silico evaluation of primers and probes routinely employed for the detection of viral species by RT-qPCR using dengue virus as a case study.
targeted nucleic acid regions. Whole genome sequencing allows to characterize and track such changes, which in turn enables to evaluate, optimize, and (re-)design novel and existing RT-qPCR methods. The ...
Relationship between mold exposure, specific IgE sensitization, and clinical asthma: A case-control study.
indoor mold contamination among mold-sensitized patients with asthma and nonsensitized patients with asthma. METHODS: A case-control study was conducted and several asthma severity markers were compared ...
Multivalent binding of herpesvirus to living cells is tightly regulated during infection.
introduce a new method to force-probe multivalent attachment directly on living cells, and we show, for the first time, direct evidence of a new mechanism by which a herpesvirus surface glycoprotein acts as ...
Neonatal factors predictive for respiratory and gastro-intestinal morbidity after esophageal atresia repair.
objective of this study is to identify possible neonatal predictive factors contributing to a long-term complicated clinical course in patients after repair of esophageal atresia. METHODS: A total of 93 ...
Risk factors and impact of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis in Pseudomonas aeruginosa-negative CF patients.
aeruginosa (Pa), were explored. METHODS: We performed a retrospective case-control study in 73 Pa-negative patients. Each patient was matched with 2 controls for age, gender, pancreas sufficiency, DeltaF508 ...
The potential use of rifabutin for treatment of patients diagnosed with rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis.
patients determined by Xpert can be treated with a rifabutin-containing regimen. Methods: Rifabutin susceptibility by rpoB mutation was assessed in 349 individuals from South Africa and 172 from Belgium. ...
Preparing cDNA Libraries from Lytic Phage-Infected Cells for Whole Transcriptome Analysis by RNA-Seq.
Publication Type: Peer reviewed scientific article Authors: Blasdel, Bob; Pieter-Jan Ceyssens; Lavigne, Rob Source: Methods Mol Biol, Volume 1681, Issue 1681, Number 1941 (2018) Keywords: ...
Very Long Persistence of Botulinum Toxin B in a Patient’s Serum
method. Botulinum toxin was still detected in the serum up to 29 days after food consumption while it was not detected anymore in the faeces. Conclusion: The described case highlights i) prolonged presence ...
