antibiotic-resistant propionibacterium acnes among acne patients in a regional skin centre in hong kong.	background there has been no study on antibiotic-resistant propionibacterium acnes in hong kong. objective we investigated the prevalence and pattern of antibiotic-resistant p. acnes and to identify any associated factors for harbouring the resistant strains. methods culture and sensitivity testing of p. acnes to commonly used antibiotics were performed. resistance to tetracycline was defined at a minimal inhibitory concentration (mic) of 2 μg/ml or more; erythromycin at an mic of 0.5 μg/ml o ...	2011	22103749
anaerobic, non-sporulating, gram-positive bacilli bacteraemia characterized by 16s rrna gene sequencing.	owing to the difficulties in identifying anaerobic, non-sporulating, gram-positive bacilli in clinical microbiology laboratories, the epidemiology and clinical spectrum of disease of many of these bacteria have been poorly understood. the application of 16s rrna gene sequencing in characterizing bacteraemia due to anaerobic, non-sporulating gram-positive bacilli during a 4-year period is described. the first case of olsenella uli bacteraemia, in a patient with acute cholangitis, is also reported ...	2004	15585505
