Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis . 1993 Aug; 17(2):97-101. PMID: 7902228
Four methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus and eight methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) isolates, all of which were ciprofloxacin susceptible (MIC < 2.0 micrograms/ml) were manipulated, in vitro, to achieve high-level ciprofloxacin resistance...

Goswitz J, Willard K, Eastep S, Shanholtzer C, Olson M, Pinnell M, et al.
Am J Clin Pathol . 1993 Feb; 99(2):132-6. PMID: 7679871
The slide centrifuge (cytospin) Gram's-stain technique has been shown in previous studies to be a sensitive technique for detecting bacteriuria when compared to culture. The method concentrates urine sediment in...

Antimicrob Agents Chemother . 1992 May; 36(5):1166-9. PMID: 1510411
A portion of the gyrA gene from amino acid codons 67 to 129 was sequenced in 34 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains (14 isolated in Minnesota, 10 isolated in Indiana, and...

Comput Biomed Res . 1992 Feb; 25(1):17-28. PMID: 1547624
The histogram has long been used in the clinical laboratory for the depiction and manipulation of frequency data. We present recent results of refinements to the usual histogram procedures along...

Cundy K, Fasching C, Willard K, Peterson L
J Antimicrob Chemother . 1991 Oct; 28(4):491-7. PMID: 1761443
To examine the possibility of a proton-motive efflux pump for quinolones in highly quinolone-resistant clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), we studied 3H-norfloxacin uptake in two quinolone-resistant and two...

Olson M, Shanholtzer C, Willard K, Peterson L
Am J Clin Pathol . 1991 Oct; 96(4):454-8. PMID: 1716413
A slide centrifuge Gram stain procedure was performed to screen for bacteriuria 4161 urine specimens submitted in urine preservative tubes for routine culture. For slide centrifuge Gram staining, each urine...

Mol Cell Probes . 1991 Apr; 5(2):97-102. PMID: 1906578
We have developed a 33 mer probe that hybridizes to the serine active site of the chromosomal ampC beta-lactamase gene of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the Enterobacteriaceae. We tested this probe...
