Abstract: Ciprofloxacin (CIP) is a commonly used antibiotic for meningococcal chemoprophylaxis, and the mutations in the quinolone resistance-determining region of gyrA are associated with CIP-resistant Neisseria meningitidis. Here, we established a mismatched PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2019.00112
Abstract: The most common causes of infective endocarditis (IE) are Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Enterococcus, and HACEK-related organisms. In 15–30% of the IE cases, standard blood cultures remain sterile. We aimed at identifying the causative agent of a… read more here.
