Proficiency Testing of Virus Diagnostics Based on Bioinformatics Analysis of Si...
Brinkmann, Annika; Andrusch, Andreas; Belka, Ariane; Wylezich, Claudia; Höper, Dirk; Pohlmann, Anne; Nordahl Petersen, Thomas; Lucas, PierrickQuality management and independent assessment of high-throughput sequencing-based virus diagnostics have not yet been established as a mandatory approach for ensuring comparable results. The sensitivity and specificity of viral high-throughput sequence data analysis are highly affected by bioinformatics processing using publicly available and custom tools and databases and thus differ widely between individuals...
Quantifying the reproduction of Bacillus thuringiensis HD 1 in cadavers and liv...
Raymond, Ben; Elliot, Simon L.; Ellis, Richard J.The Bacillus cereus group comprises a range of micro-organisms with diverse habits, including gut commensals, opportunistic pathogens and soil saprophytes. Using quantitative microbiological methods we tested whether Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) could reproduce in cadavers of Plutella xylostella killed by Bt, or in the gut of live insects, or be transmitted vertically from females to their offspring. We also tes...
