| significance of atypical pathogens among community-acquired pneumonia adult patients admitted to hospital in kuwait. | the aim of this study is to determine the microbial etiology and severity of community-acquired pneumonia (cap) in kuwait. | 2005 | 15961932 |
| application of three uniplex polymerase chain reaction assays for the detection of atypical bacteria in asthmatic patients in kuwait. | respiratory infections are known to exacerbate wheezing in many asthmatic patients. we aimed to use molecular methods for the fast detection of mycoplasma pneumoniae, chlamydia pneumoniae and legionella pneumophila in respiratory specimens from asthmatic patients in kuwait. | 2013 | 23537827 |
| legionella detection and subgrouping in water air-conditioning cooling tower systems in kuwait. | the main aim of the study was to test for the presence of legionnaires' disease-causing microorganisms in air-conditioned buildings in kuwait using molecular technologies. for this purpose, 547 samples were collected from 38 cooling towers for the analysis of legionella pneumophila. these samples included those from water (n = 178), air (n = 231), and swabs (n = 138). out of the 547 samples, 226 (41%) samples were presumptive positive for l. pneumophila, with l. pneumophila viable counts in the ... | 2015 | 25701245 |
