By using that microbiological marker of treatment success, we hope to identify serum cytokine profiles associated with microbiologic cure.
In Castro's study of T. pallidum DNA collected via sera, whole blood, plasma or earlobe scrapings, no patients with treated syphilis (n = 18) had detectable T. pallidum DNA, thus providing one of the first demonstrations of a microbiological marker for treatment success of latent syphilis in humans [ 19].
The aim of the present study was to assess microbiological laboratory markers that are suggestive of true CoNS bacteremia.
This study investigated the use of a large gap DBD design to generate a plasma discharge within the headspace of packaged herring fillets, and its effects on microbiological and quality markers of the fish stored for 11 days at 4 °C.
Description of the microbiological patterns and markers of NP in patients submitted to heart surgery.
So, virulence might well be associated with specific GBS subtypes, but based on current microbiological knowledge, unequivocal markers of invasiveness have not been identified [ 17, 18].
Moreover, microbiological and inflammatory marker assessment of NLF can provide information about the prevalence and impact of compartmentalised airway infection in various respiratory diseases, for example ventilator-associated pneumonia and sepsis.
Serum markers and stool microbiological examinations for viral, bacterial, fungal and parasite infections were negative.
In addition to rapid testing, methods that provide molecular-specific information are also preferred as these may allow one to relate any markers to specific microbiological function.
A recent review enumerates several potential biomarkers (cytokines, proteases and their inhibitors, senescence markers, oxidative stress, microbiological status, etc)., but concludes that no available data reflect wound progression or regression [ 22].
