1. Outbreak of <em>Cryptosporidium hominis</em> following river flooding in the city of Halle (Saale), Germany, August 2013 (Publications)

   Outbreak of <em>Cryptosporidium hominis</em> following river flooding in the city of Halle (Saale), Germany, August 2013

   Relevance:

   BACKGROUND: During weeks 32-33, 2013, 24 cases of cryptosporidiosis were notified in the city of Halle (annual mean 2008-2012: 9 cases). We investigated the outbreak to identify the source and recomme

2. Rapid identification of yeast by fluorescence<em> in situ</em> hybridisation from broth and blood cultures (Publications)

   Rapid identification of yeast by fluorescence<em> in situ</em> hybridisation from broth and blood cultures

   Relevance:

   Candida species including species other than Candida albicans are of importance as causative agents of sepsis in intensive-care units, requiring prompt initiation of targeted therapy. While fluconazol

3. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for rapid identification of <em>Salmonella</em> spp. from agar and blood culture broth--an option for the... (Publications)

   Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for rapid identification of <em>Salmonella</em> spp. from agar and blood culture broth--an option for the tropics?

   Relevance:

   BACKGROUND: Salmonella enterica is an important cause of diarrhea with the potential to cause systemic infection including sepsis, particularly in the tropics. Sepsis in particular requires quick and

4. Rapid discrimination of <em>Haemophilus influenzae</em>, <em>H. parainfluenzae</em>, and<em> H. haemolyticus</em> by fluorescence<em> in situ</em>... (Publications)

   Rapid discrimination of <em>Haemophilus influenzae</em>, <em>H. parainfluenzae</em>, and<em> H. haemolyticus</em> by fluorescence<em> in situ</em> hybridization (FISH) and two matrix-assisted laser-desorption-ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (M

   Relevance:

   BACKGROUND: Due to considerable differences in pathogenicity, Haemophilus influenzae, H. parainfluenzae and H. haemolyticus have to be reliably discriminated in routine diagnostics. Retrospective anal

5. Rapid identification of <em>Acinetobacter</em> spp. by fluorescence <em>in situ</em> hybridization (FISH) from colony and blood culture material (Publications)

   Rapid identification of <em>Acinetobacter</em> spp. by fluorescence <em>in situ</em> hybridization (FISH) from colony and blood culture material

   Relevance:

   Multi-drug-resistant strains of the Acinetobacter baumannii complex cause nosocomial infections. Rapid identification of Acinetobacter spp. is desirable in order to facilitate therapeutic or hygiene d

6. Identification of lymphogranuloma venereum-associated <em>Chlamydia trachomatis</em> serovars by fluorescence <em>in situ</em> hybridisation--a... (Publications)

   Identification of lymphogranuloma venereum-associated <em>Chlamydia trachomatis</em> serovars by fluorescence <em>in situ</em> hybridisation--a proof-of-principle analysis

   Relevance:

   We describe a proof-of-principle evaluation of a fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) procedure to identify Chlamydia trachomatis serovars L1-L3, the causative agents of lymphogranuloma venereum,

7. Molecular detection of <em>Setaria tundra</em> (Nematoda: Filarioidea) and an unidentified filarial species in mosquitoes in Germany (Publications)

   Molecular detection of <em>Setaria tundra</em> (Nematoda: Filarioidea) and an unidentified filarial species in mosquitoes in Germany

   Relevance:

   BACKGROUND: Knowledge of the potential vector role of Culicidae mosquitoes in Germany is very scanty, and until recently it was generally assumed that they are not involved in the transmission of anth
