(author), TNO Kwaliteit van Leven (author)Bacterial strains differ in their ability to cause hospital outbreaks. Using comparative genomic hybridization, Enterobacter cloacae complex isolates were studied to identify genetic markers specific for Enterobacter cloacae complex outbreak strains. No outbreak-specific genes were found that were common in all investigated outbreak strains....article 2009

(author), Verhoef, J. (author), Fluit, A.C. (author)Background: Isolates of the Enterobacter cloacae complex have been increasingly isolated as nosocomial pathogens, but phenotypic identification of the E. cloacae complex is unreliable and irreproducible. Identification of species based on currently available genotyping tools is already superior to phenotypic identification, but the taxonomy of...article 2008

(author), Gaubius Instituut TNO (author)The pathogenesis of hemolytic uremic syndrome (D+ HUS) is characterized by endothelial damage of glomeruli and tubules within the kidney. In several other diseases in which glomerular endothelial damage occurs, elevated serum levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) have been reported. VEGF is involved in angiogenesis,...article 2004

(author), Centraal Instituut voor Voedingsonderzoek TNO (author)It is known that volatile fatty acids can inhibit growth of species of the family Enterobacteriaceae in vitro. However, whether these volatile fatty acids affect bacterial populations in the ceca of chickens is unknown. Therefore, a study was conducted to investigate if changes in volatile fatty acids in ceca of broiler chickens during growth...article 2000

(author), Gaubius Instituut TNO (author)The epidemic form of the hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) has been associated with a verocytotoxin producing Escherichia coli infection. Endothelial cell damage of glomeruli and arterioles of the kidney plays a central role in the pathogenesis of HUS. A number of observations in vivo and in vitro indicate that inflammatory mediators contribute to...article 1996
