| dna restriction patterns produced by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis in moraxella catarrhalis isolated from different geographical areas. | pulsed field gel electrophoresis (pfge) of the genomic dna of moraxella catarrhalis was done in 172 strains isolated from sputum of patients with respiratory infections in nagasaki (130 strains), europe (14 strains), thailand (6 strains), uganda (3 strains), bangladesh (5 strains) and kuwait (14 strains). restriction endonuclease with smai generated 4-16 dna fragments ranging from 1000 kb to 24.25 kb and was classified into 31 major groups. it was found that there were wide variations of dna res ... | 1999 | 10459644 |
| antimicrobial susceptibilities of potential bacterial pathogens in adults with acute respiratory tract infections prospective epidemiological network investigating community-acquired infection surveillance in nagasaki (penicillin) study. | the prevalence and the antimicrobial susceptibilities of bacterial pathogens in acute upper respiratory tract infections (aurtis) is not clear. we conducted a prospective community-based multicenter study in 45 centers across nagasaki, japan, between december 2001 and april 2002. we examined the nasopharyngeal or throat isolates in 930 adult outpatients with aurtis. potential bacterial pathogens, including streptococcus pyogenes (from 6.8% patients), s. pneumoniae (5.3%), s. milleri group (2.0%) ... | 2005 | 15808319 |
