Contribution of molecular typing methods and antifungal susceptibility testing to the study of a candidemia cluster in a burn care unit.

Bart-Delabesse, E, Van Deventer, H, Goessens, W, Poirot, J L, Lioret, N, Van Belkum, A, ...

We investigated a cluster of cases of Candida septicemia diagnosed in four burn patients. Twenty clinical isolates of Candida albicans and two of Candida parapsilosis, plus eight isolates of C....

Study of internal transcribed spacer and mitochondrial large-subunit genes of Pneumocystis carinii hominis isolated by repeated bronchoalveolar lavage from human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients during one or several episodes of pneumonia.

Latouche, S, Poirot, J L, Bernard, C, Roux, P

The objective of this study was to type, analyze, and compare Pneumocystis carinii hominis strains obtained from different samples during a given or recurrent episodes of P. carinii pneumonia (PCP)...

Usefulness of PCR for detection of Pneumocystis carinii DNA.

Roux, P, Lavrard, I, Poirot, J L, Chouaid, C, Denis, M, Olivier, J L, ...

Diagnosis of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia is based on the identification of the various stages of the parasite in lung samples by standard staining techniques. We therefore assessed the value of...

Preliminary results of Pneumocystis carinii strain differentiation by using molecular biology.

Latouche, S, Roux, P, Poirot, J L, Lavrard, I, Hermelin, B, Bertrand, V

The mode of Pneumocystis carinii transmission is controversial. Recent studies point to exogenous inoculation rather than reactivation, and person-to-person transmission has also been suggested....

Collaborative evaluation in seven laboratories of a standardized micromethod for yeast susceptibility testing.

Guinet, R, Nerson, D, De Closets, F, Dupouy-Camet, J, Kures, L, Marjollet, M, ...

The new micromethod for yeast susceptibility testing, MYCOTOTAL, was evaluated with 10 reference strains in seven laboratories. Ready-to-use microtitration plates and the same synthetic medium were...

Evaluation of a monoclonal antibody-based latex agglutination test for diagnosis of cryptococcosis: comparison with two tests using polyclonal antibodies.

Temstet, A, Roux, P, Poirot, J L, Ronin, O, Dromer, F

Cryptococcal antigen detection has become a routine biological test performed for patients with AIDS. The poor prognosis of cryptococcosis explains the need for reliable tests. We evaluated the...

Molecular Identification of Cryptococcus neoformans Serotypesâ–¿

Enache-Angoulvant, A., Chandenier, J., Symoens, F., Lacube, P., Bolognini, J., Douchet, C., ...

Cryptococcus neoformans is a fungal pathogen that causes life-threatening infections primarily in immunocompromised hosts. Based on the genetic characteristics and serologic properties of capsular...
