| microbiological profile of the cervix in 1,000 sexually active women. | one thousand consecutive women who attended the richmond family planning association clinic and who were to undergo a vaginal examination were asked to participate in a large prospective microbiological study. participants were questioned about their sexual activity during the previous 12 months and any apparent signs of sexually transmitted disease. on examination the cervix was inspected for evidence of inflammation, ectopy or discharge and cervical swabs were taken microbiological assessment. ... | 1988 | 3148302 |

| nested duplex pcr to detect bordetella pertussis and bordetella parapertussis and its application in diagnosis of pertussis in nonmetropolitan southeast queensland, australia. | a duplex pcr to detect bordetella pertussis and bordetella parapertussis was developed with the insertion sequences is481 (b. pertussis) and is1001 (b. parapertussis) and evaluated with specimens from 520 consecutive patients presenting with possible pertussis. no culture-positive-pcr-negative results occurred, giving the method a sensitivity of 100%. for b. pertussis, 58 of 520 patients (11.2%) were positive by pcr compared to 17 of 520 patients positive (3.3%) by culture. for b. parapertussis, ... | 1999 | 9986820 |
| preliminary studies on the prevalence of mycoplasma bovis mastitis in dairy in cattle in australia. | a highly sensitive and specific pcr (mb-pcr) was used in preliminary studies to detect m. bovis in milk samples to investigate its association with high somatic cell count (scc), an indicator of subclinical mastitis and one of the factors in down grading the quality of milk. a total of 186 and 167 herds were tested with 43% and 62% of herds positive for m. bovis in victoria and north queensland, respectively. the quarter milks from 52 cows with persistently high scc were tested by mb-pcr and cul ... | 1999 | 10189193 |
| genetic diversity among mycoplasma species bovine group 7: clonal isolates from an outbreak of polyarthritis, mastitis, and abortion in dairy cattle. | a comprehensive genetic analysis of 60 mycoplasma sp. bovine group 7 isolates from different geographic origins and epidemiological settings is presented. twenty-four isolates were recovered from the joints of calves during sporadic episodes of polyarthritis in geographically distinct regions of queensland and new south wales, australia, including two clones of the type strain pg5o. a further three australian isolates were also recovered from the tympanic bulla, retropharyngeal lymph node and th ... | 2001 | 11669541 |
| development of a monoclonal blocking elisa for the detection of antibody to mycoplasma bovis in dairy cattle and comparison to detection by pcr. | a monoclonal antibody blocking enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (b-elisa) was developed to detect antibodies to mycoplasma bovis in cattle sera. the assay was highly specific and sensitive and there was no cross-reaction detected. this method revealed a high prevalence of antibodies (60%) to m. bovis in dairy cattle in north queensland. the diagnostic potential of this b-elisa for the detection of antibody to m. bovis was compared with its detection by pcr. there was a strong positive correlati ... | 2005 | 15734539 |
| interaction of microbiology and pathology in women undergoing investigations for infertility. | cases of endometriosis with no tubal damage are associated with infertility, suggesting an immunological rather than mechanical barrier to reproduction. laparoscopy and falloposcopy results of clinically asymptomatic women undergoing investigation of infertility were correlated with the outcomes of microbiological screening for chlamydia trachomatis, mycoplasma pneumoniae, mycoplasma hominis, ureaplasma species, neisseria gonorrhoeae, neisseria meningitidis and chlamydia pneumoniae. | 2004 | 15763913 |
