2011-03-31ZeitschriftenartikelIS element IS16 as a molecular screening tool to identify hospital-associated strains of Enterococcus faecium Background: Hospital strains of Enterococcus faecium could be characterized and typed by various molecular methods (MLST, AFLP, MLVA) and allocated to a distinct clonal complex known as MLST CC17. However, these techniques ...

2012-06-21ZeitschriftenartikelNovel paramyxoviruses in free-ranging European bats. The zoonotic potential of paramyxoviruses is particularly demonstrated by their broad host range like the highly pathogenic Hendra and Nipah viruses originating from bats. But while so far all bat-borne paramyxoviruses ...
