Geostatistics - a tool applied to the distribution of Legionella pneumophila in a hospital water system.
INTRODUCTION Legionnaires' disease is normally acquired by inhalation of legionellae from a contaminated environmental source. Water systems of large buildings, such as hospitals, are often contaminated with legionellae and therefore represent a potential risk for the hospital population. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential contamination of Legionella pneumophila (LP) in a large...

introduction: l. pneumophila is the most important cause of legionaires, disease, which is currently reported either as a nosocomial or community acquired infection. rapid and reliable diagnosis of legionella has hampered the epidemiological studies and disease control activities. in spite of good sensitivity and specificity, the culture method encountered serious shortcomings. polymerase chain...
متن کاملAtomic Force Microscopy as a Tool Applied to Nano/Biosensors
This review article discusses and documents the basic concepts and principles of nano/biosensors. More specifically, we comment on the use of Chemical Force Microscopy (CFM) to study various aspects of architectural and chemical design details of specific molecules and polymers and its influence on the control of chemical interactions between the Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) tip and the sample...
متن کاملRapid antigen detection test for respiratory syncytial virus diagnosis as a diagnostic tool.
