Multilocus Sequence Typing of Clonal Changes of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolated from Intensive Care Unit Patients: 1996 versus 2004

Original article PDF Ji Young Huh, Jongyoun Yi, Ki Ho Hong, Eui-Chong Kim Department of Laboratory Medicine, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea Corresponding to Eui-Chong Kim, E-mail: euichong@snu.ac.kr Ann Clin Microbiol 2006;9(2):84-89.Copyright © Korean Society of Clinical Microbiology. Abstract Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) accounts for more than 70% of S. aureus isolates from tertiary-care hospitals in Korea. Recently, a multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme has been used to study the local and global epidemiologies of MRSA. The aim of this study is to compare the genetic background of MRSA strains isolated in the same ward during two different periods. Methods: To investigate clonal changes of endemic MRSA isolates between 1996 and 2004, we studied a total of 33 MRSA strains (16 from 1996 and 17 from 2004) isolated in the intensive care units of a tertiary-care hospital in Korea. The isolates were analyzed for their sequence types by MLST and

Low-Colony Counts of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria: Clinical Significance Analysis

Original article PDF Ki Ho Hong1, Se-Ick Joo1, Eui-Chong Kim1, Sue Shin2, Eun Youn Roh2, Jong Hyun Yoon2 1Department of Laboratory Medicine, Seoul National University Hospital, 2Department of Laboratory Medicine, Seoul National University Boramae Hospital, Seoul, Korea Corresponding to Jong Hyun Yoon, E-mail: slice@paran.com Ann Clin Microbiol 2012;15(1):9-13. https://doi.org/10.5145/KJCM.2012.15.1.9Copyright © Korean Society of Clinical Microbiology. Abstract Background: Diagnosis of nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) is challenging, and clinical, radiological and microbiological criteria should be met. Traditionally, culture results on solid media have been reported semi-quantitatively, but no study exists regarding the clinical significance of low-colony count culture reports. The authors of the present study analyzed the clinical significance of low-colony count specimens of NTM with a greater than three-year follow-up period. Methods: A total of 341 clinical isolates were evaluated among the isolates at Seoul National University Hospital and Seoul National University Borame Hospital from October 2005 to September 2006. Colony count
