The stem region of premembrane protein plays an important role in the virus surface protein rearrangement during dengue maturation (Publications)
Newly assembled dengue viruses (DENV) undergo maturation to become infectious particles. The maturation process involves major rearrangement of virus surface premembrane (prM) and envelope (E) protein
Isolation of <em>Mycobacterium ulcerans</em> from Swab and Fine-Needle-Aspiration Specimens (Publications)
For cultivation of Mycobacterium ulcerans from clinical specimens, we optimized the release of bacteria from swabs, as well as decontamination and cultivation on supplemented medium. Nevertheless, the
