To the Editor: The rapid rate of HIV-I replication in vivo (10' virions per day), coupled with the poor fidelity of reverse transcription of the HIV-1 genome, results in the production of new virus variants (1). This makes it easy to understand how multiple clades of HIV-1 have emerged throughout the world and explains the development of genetic diversity even within clades (2). Numerous report...

Staphylococcus aureus infections are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in health care settings. S. aureus clinical isolates vary in the function of the accessory gene regulator (agr), which governs the expression of virulence determinants, including surface and exoproteins, while agr activity has been correlated with patient outcome and treatment efficiency. Here we describe a dupl...

The Nuclisens EasyQ HIV-1 v1.1 assay (Biomerieux) is a real-time detection method combined with NASBA technology designed to measure plasma HIV-RNA. Its performance was assessed in 1008 clinical specimens collected from individuals infected with clade B (774) and non-B (234) HIV-1 variants at four European laboratories. The results were compared with those obtained using three other commercial ...

A molecular beacon-based real-time NASBA (QNASBA) assay for detection and identification of Listeria monocytogenes has been developed. A correlation between targeting highly accessible mRNA sequences and QNASBA efficiency and sensitivity was demonstrated. The assay targets a sequence from the mRNA transcript of the hly gene which is specific for this bacterium; and includes an internal amplific...
