Novel Hydrurus species (Chrysophyceae) and their adaptations to high-altitude European and Arctic snowfields. [PDF]
J PhycolAbstract Colored snow caused by green algae (Chlorophyceae) is well known, but melting snowpacks can also harbor golden‐brown blooms consisting of Chrysophyceae. We collected 14 samples of cryoflora in the Austrian and Swiss Alps, the High Tatras in Slovakia, and in Arctic Svalbard. Eight laboratory unicellular flagellated strains were established from

Physicians' prediction for the assessment of atypical pathogens in respiratory tract infections
Journal of General and Family Medicine, Volume 21, Issue 6, Page 226-234, November 2020., 2020 Our study indicates that while physicians' predictions were associated with the detection of atypical pathogens, overestimation was observed. The criteria for atypical pneumonia did not perform well for accurately diagnosing atypical pathogen infection in patients with a fever and cough.

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020 Background. Bordetella pertussis is a human pathogen which causes pertussis, or whooping cough. The diphtheria‐tetanus‐pertussis immunization has significantly reduced the morbidity and mortality of pertussis globally. However, higher prevalence and resurgence of pertussis cases among both vaccinated and unvaccinated people has raised questions on the ...

Standard Operating Procedure for Real-time PCR Detection and Identification of Bordetella pertussis, B. parapertussis, and B. holmesii using AB7500 v1 [PDF]
, 2017 The appropriate use of clinically accurate diagnostic tests is essential for the detection of pertussis, a poorly controlled vaccine-preventable disease. The purpose of this study was to estimate the sensitivity and specificity of different diagnostic criteria including culture, multi-target polymerase chain reaction (PCR), anti-pertussis toxin IgG ...
