The performance of a point-of-care test for the diagnosis of Neurocysticercosis in a resource-poor community setting in Zambia- a diagnostic accuracy study.
at any stage was limited for all tests (TS POC, rT24H- EITB and antigen ELISA). With further development the TS POC CC may enable a better detection and faster referral of NCC patients who may benefit ...
QC as a basis for human application of phage therapy in Belgium
a viable alternative treatment strategy has gained more interest in the last two decades, encouraging research in the field. In Belgium, more than a hundred patients have already benefited from phage ...
Personalized bacteriophage therapy outcomes for 100 consecutive cases: a multicentre, multinational, retrospective observational study.
were used (odds ratio = 0.3; 95% confidence interval = 0.127-0.749). In vivo selection of bacteriophage resistance and in vitro bacteriophage-antibiotic synergy were documented in 43.8% (7/16 patients ...
The phage-encoded PIT4 protein affects multiple two-component systems of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
for which the development of novel antibiotics is the most crucial. The pathogen causes both acute and chronic infections, especially in patients who are the most vulnerable. Therefore, efforts are ...

Pyrogen testing of phage therapeutic products
these last years, with treatments provided to more than 100 patients, against more than 10 different bacterial species. Therapeutic phage products are produced in a bacterial host strain, hence pyrogen ...
Evaluation of a point-of-care test for the diagnosis of Taenia solium neurocysticercosis in rural southern Tanzania: a diagnostic accuracy study.
Patients with epileptic seizures or severe progressive headache were recruited consecutively from three hospitals in southern Tanzania. All patients were tested with the TS POC test. All patients positive ...
