    The aim of this study was to determine if mycobacterial lineages affect infection risk, clustering, and disease progression among Mycobacterium tuberculosis cases in The Netherlands. Multivariate negative binomial regression ...
  • Identification of pneumococcal colonization determinants in the stringent response pathway facilitated by genomic diversity 
    Trzcinski, KP (BioMed Central, 2015)
    Background Understanding genetic determinants of a microbial phenotype generally involves creating and comparing isogenic strains differing at the locus of interest, but the naturally existing genomic and phenotypic diversity ...
  • Effect of Serotype on Pneumococcal Competition in a Mouse Colonization Model. 
    Trzcinski, KP (American Society for Microbiology, 2015-08-15)
    Competitive interactions between Streptococcus pneumoniae strains during host colonization could influence the serotype distribution in nasopharyngeal carriage and pneumococcal disease. We evaluated the competitive fitness ...
  • Analysis of false-positive results of fetal RHD typing in a national screening program reveals vanishing twins as potential cause for discrepancy
