Background: Bacteremia due to Enterococcus faecalis is usually caused by strains resistant to most antibiotics. Effective management of the disease is dependent on rapid detection and characterization of the bacteria, and determination its sensitivity pattern to antimicrobial drugs. The aim of this study was to investigate a more rapid and reliable assay for simultaneous diagnosis of enterococc...

In this paper we present a novel approach for matching simultaneous latent fingerprint to plain fingerprint. In the experiment, we tested 160 simultaneous latent print images that are equal to 10 classes from 240 simultaneous impressions in the IIITD SLF Database and match them with a gallery of optical slap fingerprints. The Gallery of Optical is used as references to the accuracy of matching ...

We aim to detect all instances of a category in an image and, for each instance, mark the pixels that belong to it. We call this task Simultaneous Detection and Segmentation (SDS). Unlike classical bounding box detection, SDS requires a segmentation and not just a box. Unlike classical semantic segmentation, we require individual object instances. We build on recent work that uses convolutional...

Both C. pneumoniae and M. pneumoniae are common causes of respiratory tract infection. At present, both are still diagnosed in the laboratory retrospectively by serology. This is despite many publications which indicate that PCR, which is not retrospective, is extremely good at detecting these organisms. We thought that a single PCR test which could detect both organisms simultaneously in a...

In order to improve simultaneous detection and identification of Helicobacter genus in general and Helicobacter pylori specifically and reduce the number of amplifications needed, we established a multiplex PCR. In this study, two pairs of primers: Hcom1 and Hcom2 specific for Helicobacter genus, Hicd1 and Hicd2 specific for Helicobacter pylori species were used. To determine the sensitivity of...

methods allplex gi-virus assay was developed to detect pathogens causing viral gastroenteritis, one of the major diseases caused by rna viruses. this one-step multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction (pcr) based on the mudt technique permits simultaneous amplification and detection of target nucleic acids of norovirus gi, norovirus gii, rotavirus a, adenovirus f, astrovirus, and sapovirus ...

objective: bacterial meningitis is a dangerous and sometimes fatal infection that affects the central nervous system. because some antibiotics can prevent some types of these bacteria and supress them from spreading and infecting, therefore it is important to know what type of virus or bacterium is causing meningitis. haemophilus influenzae and neisseria meningitides are the two main pathogens...
