  6. Bacteria and fungi in day-old turkeys vary among companies, collection periods, and breeder flocks

    • Poultry Science

    • AbstractMicrobial colonization of the intestinal tract of commercial poultry is highly variable, likely due to the fact that poults and chicks are hatched and raised without exposure to adult birds and their microbiota. In industrial poultry production, it is hypothesized that most of the microbiota is obtained through horizontal transmission from the environment and very little by maternal transmission.

  22. Bimodal Seasonality and Alternating Predominance of Norovirus GII.4 and Non-GII.4, Hong Kong, China, 2014–20171

    • Emerging Infectious Diseases

    • We report emerging subtropical bimodal seasonality and alternating predominance of norovirus GII.4 and non-GII.4 genotypes in Hong Kong. GII.4 predominated in summer and autumn months and affected young children, whereas emergent non-GII.4 genotypes predominated in winter months and affected all age groups. This highly dynamic epidemiology should inform vaccination strategies.

  23. Pathogen Identification by Multiplex LightMix Real-Time PCR Assay in Patients with Meningitis and Culture-Negative Cerebrospinal Fluid Specimens [Bacteriology]

    • Journal of Clinical Microbiology

    • Acute bacterial meningitis is a medical emergency, and delays in initiating effective antimicrobial therapy result in increased morbidity and mortality. Culture-based methods, thus far considered the "gold standard" for identifying bacterial microorganisms, require 24 to 48 h to provide a diagnosis. In addition, antimicrobial therapy is often started prior to clinical sample collection, thereby decreasing the probability of confirming the bacterial pathogen by culture-based methods.

  24. Direct Detection of Shigella in Stool Specimens by Use of a Metagenomic Approach [Bacteriology]

    • Journal of Clinical Microbiology

    • The underestimation of Shigella species as a cause of childhood diarrhea disease has become increasingly apparent with quantitative PCR (qPCR)-based diagnostic methods versus culture. We sought to confirm qPCR-based detection of Shigella via a metagenomics approach.

  25. Highly Sensitive Detection of Isoniazid Heteroresistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis by DeepMelt Assay [Mycobacteriology and Aerobic Actinomycetes]

    • Journal of Clinical Microbiology

    • Detection of heteroresistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis remains challenging using current genotypic drug susceptibility testing methods. Here, we described a melting curve analysis-based approach, termed DeepMelt, that can detect less-abundant mutants through selective clamping of the wild type in mixed populations. The singleplex DeepMelt assay detected 0.01% katG S315T in 105 M. tuberculosis genomes/μl.
