   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

2. 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

3. 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,

4. 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

5. Stable transmission of <em>Dirofilaria </em>repens nematodes, northern Germany (Publications)

   Stable transmission of <em>Dirofilaria </em>repens nematodes, northern Germany

6. Fluorescent<em> in situ</em> hybridization of pre-incubated blood culture material for the rapid diagnosis of histoplasmosis (Publications)

   Fluorescent<em> in situ</em> hybridization of pre-incubated blood culture material for the rapid diagnosis of histoplasmosis

   Relevance:

   Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) has been shown to be useful for the detection of Candida and Cryptococcus species in blood culture materials. FISH procedures for the detection of Histoplasma

7. 16S rRNA gene sequence-based identification of bacteria in automatically incubated blood culture materials from tropical sub-Saharan Africa (Publications)

   16S rRNA gene sequence-based identification of bacteria in automatically incubated blood culture materials from tropical sub-Saharan Africa

   Relevance:

   BACKGROUND: The quality of microbiological diagnostic procedures depends on pre-analytic conditions. We compared the results of 16S rRNA gene PCR and sequencing from automatically incubated blood cult

8. Rapid identification of <em>Leishmania</em> spp. in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue samples by fluorescence<em> in situ</em> hybridization (Publications)

   Rapid identification of <em>Leishmania</em> spp. in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue samples by fluorescence<em> in situ</em> hybridization

   Relevance:

   OBJECTIVE: To describe and validate fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), a new method of Leishmania spp. identification. FISH allows for a rapid detection of target organisms by specific binding

   Increased detection of invasive enteropathogenic bacteria in pre-incubated blood culture materials by real-time PCR in comparison with automated incubation in sub-Saharan Africa

   Relevance:

   BACKGROUND: Invasive enteropathogenic bacteria can cause systemic infections. Data from studies with PCR detection suggest, at least for Salmonella enterica, that blood culture may lead to underestima
