Microbiological aspects of enterococci isolated at King Edward VIII Hospital, Durban.
(1999)The increasing frequency of enterococci as a major cause of nosocomial infections and the transmission of these organisms amongst hospital patients demands a greater awareness of the Enterococcus. Therapy of enterococcal ... -
Microbiology and molecular epidemiology of multiresistant haemophilus influenza type B in Durban, South Africa.
(1988)Microbiological and molecular epidemiological studies were conducted on 36 multi-resistant Haemophilus influenzae strains, isolated from paediatric patients, over a 26 month period (April 1986 to May 1988). The majority ... -
A microsatellite evaluation of the genetic status of the p27Kip1 and p21Cip1/WAF1 genes in oesophageal cancer.
(2008)p21 C/P 1/"El and p 2 7K/P 1 are cyclin-dependant kinase inhibitors that fonn an integral part of the cell cycle process. These proteins function as cell-cycle inhibitors, and are able to induce cell cycle arrest by binding ... -

Morphology, membrane characterization and detection of a bacterium associated with ratoon stunting disease of sugarcane.
(1984)Ratoon stunting disease (RSD) of sugarcane was first recognized in 1944 in Queensland, Australia (Steindl, 1961). The disease occurs worldwide and causes significant yield losses, especially during drought. RSD produces ... -
Neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies : their clinical associations and an improved method for their detection.
(1993)The test for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) was introduced into the author's laboratory in 1987. An improved indirect immunofluorescent method was developed, using a system which allows 16 instead of one serum ... -
Response of endothelial cells to exposure to Chlamydia trachomatis, biovar LGV.
(2011)Although both are caused by Chlamydia trachomatis, Lymphogranuloma Venereum (LGV) presents differently from the infections caused by Oculogenital (OG) strains. The endothelium of blood and lymph vessels allows passage of ... -

Some aspects of liver disease in Black patients.
(1990)A study of the causes of liver enlargement amongst black patients at King Edward VIII Hospital, Durban, South Africa has revealed that congestive cardiac failure (36.7%), amoebic liver abscess (7.1%), hepatocellular carcinoma ... -
Spread of multi drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR) including extensively drug resistant turberculosis (XDR TB), in rural KwaZulu-Natal.
(2011)Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is an airborne pathogen that is easily transmitted from person to person. An intact immune system prevents the organism from causing disease in most individuals. In South Africa, the ... -

A study of the prevalence of campylobacter pylori in patients with upper gastrointestinal symptoms, and an evaluation of various laboratory methods to detect its presence.
(1988)Antral mucosal biopsies were examined microbiologically and histologically for the presence of Campylobacter pylori in 224 patients with upper gastrointestinal symptoms. One hundred and eighty three (83%) patients were ...
