4.23.2008 | Fluorescence in situ hybridization using peptide nucleic acid probes (PNA-FISH) differentiates Staphylococcus aureus from other Gram-positive-cocci in clusters (GPCC). 101/202 patients with...

12.1.2007 | A simple test in use at the University of Maryland Medical Center that in hours can identify specific gram-positive bacteria and yeast directly from positive blood cultures is reducing patient...

11.8.2007 | We found that PNA-FISH can provide rapid and accurate identification of Candida at the species level from colonies, thereby enabling more directed early treatment for patients. At our...

10.31.2007 | In summary, the C. albicans/C. glabrata PNA FISH assay is an accurate diagnostic assay to guide optimal therapy in a timely fashion. It replaces identification by slow and subjective...

10.3.2007 | Deparaffinized sections were analyzed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probes.104 A mixture of Texas Red-labeled, P. aeruginosa-specific PNA...

6.5.2008 | The modified protocol makes a rapid identification method stain even more rapid with the same excellent results.

6.5.2008 | Application of PNA FISH using the S. aureus probe enables a rapid and reliable species identification in case of phenotypically difficult-to-identify small colony variants of Staphylococcus...

6.5.2008 | The results of this work indicate that the EVIGENE assay is comparable (i.e. Sensitivity, 94-95% or greater) to PCR for the detection of mec-A, PVL, mup-A and TSST-1.

6.5.2008 | The S. aureus PNA FISH assay accurately detects S. aureus from nasal swabs which have been incubated overnight in enriched nonselective broth media.

6.5.2008 | PNA FISH testing followed by mecA EVIGENE(TM) as a rapid algorithm for direct identification of MRSA and MSSA from positive blood culture bottles could result in decreased morbidity and...
