O15 IGRA testing for latent tuberculosis in commercial sex workers [PDF]
Background/introduction Tuberculosis (TB) is a significant public health issue in Birmingham. Targeting ‘hard to reach’ groups, such as commercial sex workers (CSW), is a priority for Public Health England. Additionally, a large proportion of CSW in Birmingham are from Romania, where TB prevalence is high.

Three-Decade Epidemiological Analysis of Escherichia coli O15:K52:H1 [PDF]
ABSTRACT The successful Escherichia coli O15:K52:H1 clonal group provides a case study for the emergence of multiresistant clonal groups of Enterobacteriaceae generally. Accordingly, we tested the hypotheses that, over time, the O15:K52:H1 clonal group has become increasingly (i ...

Escherichia coli Serotype O15:K52:H1 as a Uropathogenic Clone
ABSTRACT To clarify the clinical and bacteriological correlates of urinary-tract infection (UTI) due to Escherichia coli O15:K52:H1, during a 1-year surveillance period we prospectively screened all 1,871 significant E. coli urine isolates at the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau,

Identification of Yersinia enterocolitica O15 lipopolysaccharide as a rough antigen [PDF]
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of a reference strain of Yersinia enterocolitica serovar O15, Ye614, was examined for its chemical structure and antigenicity. The O15 LPS was partially hydrolyzed with diluted acetic acid and fractionated on a Sephadex G-50 column. Only one peak was detected at fractions where the R-core oligosaccharide of a Y.

Molecular Characterization of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli Reveals Emergence of Drug Resistant O15, O22 and O25 Serogroups [PDF]
Background and Objectives: Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are common pathogens causing urinary tract infections (UTIs). We aimed to investigate the relationship among clinical manifestation, serogroups, phylogenetic groups, and antimicrobial ...

Studies on electrical properties of SrBi4Ti4−3x Fe4x O15
The system SrBi4Ti4−3x Fe4x O15 belonging to bismuth layer structured ferroelectric (BLSF) materials withx = 0, 0.1 and 0.2 has been prepared through solid-state double sintering method. Increase of iron content in SrBi4Ti4O15 resulted in densification of the samples.

National survey of Escherichia coli causing extraintestinal infections reveals the spread of drug-resistant clonal groups O25b:H4-B2-ST131, O15:H1-D-ST393 and CGA-D-ST69 with high virulence gene content in Spain [PDF]
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the current prevalence of the three clonal groups O25b:H4-B2-ST131, O15:H1-D-ST393 and CGA-D-ST69 (where ST stands for sequence type) among Escherichia coli isolates causing extraintestinal infections in Spain and to characterize ...
