aureus
isolates tested were cultured on blood agar overnight.
Previous studies have found that PFGE is a good measure of genotypic relatedness between Enterobacter sakazakii
isolates (3).
New cases of Mokola virus infection in South Africa: a genotypic comparison of southern African
isolates. Virus Genes.
Isolates were tested for susceptibility at reference laboratories by using NCCLS methods (1).
A leg extension is the best single-joint movement with which to
isolate the "quads," but the athlete can once again use the leg press as a secondary movement.
If the results hold up, the viral
isolate should be useful in a number of ways.
(12-14) However, little is known about the dissemination of these clonal
isolates, although studies on the clonal profile of MRSA infections have been conducted in other countries.
In our study, 4 of 10
isolates were genotypes B and C, which are rarely found in psittacine birds.
Yet isolating the PHY chip alone does not totally
isolate the node.
Since 1985, nonpolio enterovirus (NPEV) surveillance data on
isolates reported from March through May in the United States have been used to predict the serotypes likely to be isolated during July through December, which encompasses the period of the peak enterovirus activity.
Typing was performed by SmaI pulsed-field gel electrophoresis as previously described (2), and the
isolate was classified as the USA300 clone.
In two studies released last week, one group of researchers suggests that the most virulent immunodeficiency viruses may escape isolation and detection by current laboratory methods, while another presents evidence that a virus
isolate thought to be HIV-2 is actually a contaminant from monkeys.
We thank Lee Davis for excellent work in recognizing the clinical
isolate, David Chin and Anthony Kane for providing the clinical background and photograph, and Aine Martin and Helen Green for field assistance.
To identify the source of the new
isolate, we compared the sequence of its hemagglutinin gene with those of H5N1 viruses isolated since 2003 in China, Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia (Figure 2).
