Endocarditis Due to Rare and Fastidious Bacteria [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2001 SUMMARY The etiologic diagnosis of infective endocarditis is easily made in the presence of continuous bacteremia with gram-positive cocci. However, the blood culture may contain a bacterium rarely associated with endocarditis, such as Lactobacillus spp., Klebsiella spp., or nontoxigenic Corynebacterium, Salmonella, Gemella ...

Detection of Selected Fastidious Bacteria [PDF]
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2000 The intent of this article is to describe the optimal methods for culture recovery of 7 fastidious bacteria: Legionella species, Brucella species, Francisella tularensis, Leptospira species, Borrelia burgdorferi, Bartonella species, and Bordetella species. These organisms share much in common beyond the fact that their genus names all end in the letter

Selected Case Studies on Fastidious Eukaryotic Microorganisms: Issues and Investigation Strategies
Diversity, 2023 The concept of fastidious microorganisms currently found in scientific literature is mainly related to the difficulty of isolating/culturing/preserving bacteria. Eukaryotes are investigated much less in this respect, although they represent a fundamental

Improving sensitivity of single tube nested PCR to detect fastidious microorganisms
Heliyon, 2020 Single Tube Nested PCR (ST-nPCR) is of value to clinical laboratories with limited settings for the detection of fastidious microorganisms. The detection sensitivity of ST-nPCR is dependent on ensuring minimal leftovers of outer primers during the second
