PCR correction strategies for malaria drug trials: updates and clarifications (Publications)
of recurring parasitaemia. Such PCR correction is required to obtain accurate failure rates, even for new effective drugs. Despite the routine use of PCR correction in surveillance of drug resistance and [...] after treatment. It is therefore vital to reliably distinguish drug failures from new infections in order to obtain accurate estimates of drug failure rates. This distinction can be achieved for Plasmodium [...] molecular genotyping methods have led some researchers to question the...

Rapid identification of <em>Acinetobacter</em> spp. by fluorescence <em>in situ</em> hybridization (FISH) from colony and blood culture material (Publications)
FISH, the new probe correctly identified 81/81 Acinetobacter spp. isolates and excluded 109/109 tested non-target organisms from agar culture. Furthermore, the new probe correctly identified 7/7 Acinetobacter [...] baumannii complex cause nosocomial infections. Rapid identification of Acinetobacter spp. is desirable in order to facilitate therapeutic or hygiene decisions. We evaluated a newly designed DNA probe that can be

Reinvestigation of the <em>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</em> genome annotation by comparison to the genome of a related fungus: <em>Ashbya gossypii</em> (Publications)
suggested 69 potential sequence corrections resulting in ORF extensions or ORF fusions with improved homology to the syntenic A. gossypii homologs. Of the proposed corrections, 25 were tested and confirmed [...] budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae both at the level of homology and synteny (conservation of gene order). Thus, it became possible to reinvestigate the S. cerevisiae genome in the syntenic regions leading

Heparin therapy seems to be enough [...] In order to see whether thrombolytic therapy led to a reduction of CPT, a cause of long periods of inability to work, a study on the development of phlebothrombosis was carried out at the Department of
