A 3-year microplot study was conducted to characterize the interaction between Meloidogyne arenaria race 1 (MA1) and M. hapla (MH), as affected by the five peanut genotypes: Florigiant, NC 7, NC 6, NC Ac 18416, and NC Ac 18016. The interactive effects on infection (total parasitic forms per root unit) and reproduction potentials of each nematode species and crop damage were determined. As a sin...

AIMS To determine whether antibody to lipopolysaccharide-core (LPS-core) antigen is an important component of the antibody, detected by mixed heat-killed coliform antigen, in urine from patients with suspected urinary tract infection. METHODS LPS-core antigen and mixed heat-killed coliform antigen were used in an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to measure IgG antibody in midstream u...

Background. Central venous catheters (CVC) are a major risk factor for candidemia. Mixed candidemia with bacteremia due to CVCs has been increasingly reported in recent times. However, the risk factors for this dual infection have not been clearly identified. The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors for CVC associated mixed candidemia. Methods. This was a prospective case control ...
