Lau S, Lo G, Lam C, Chow W, Ngan A, Wu A, et al.
Antimicrob Agents Chemother . 2016 Dec; 61(3). PMID: 28031205
We determined the susceptibilities of 57 strains to anidulafungin, itraconazole, voriconazole, and posaconazole with MICs of 2 to 8, 0.002 to 0.004, 0.016 to 0.063, and 0.001 to 0.002 μg/ml...

Lau S, Chow W, Foo C, Curreem S, Lo G, Teng J, et al.
Sci Rep . 2016 May; 6:26045. PMID: 27185741
Unlike Elizabethkingia meningoseptica, the clinical importance of E. anophelis is poorly understood. We determined the clinical and molecular epidemiology of bacteremia caused by Elizabethkingia-like species from five regional hospitals in...

Sci Rep . 2016 Apr; 6:25147. PMID: 27121085
Despite the recent emergence of enterovirus D68 (EV-D68), its clinical impact on adult population is less well defined. To better define the epidemiology of EV-D68, 6,800 nasopharyngeal aspirates (NPAs) from...

BMC Microbiol . 2016 Mar; 16:36. PMID: 26965891
Background: Penicillium marneffei is the most important thermal dimorphic fungus causing systemic mycosis in HIV-infected and other immunocompromised patients in Southeast Asia. However, laboratory diagnosis of penicilliosis, which relies on...

Lau S, Lee K, Lo G, Ding V, Chow W, Ke T, et al.
Int J Mol Sci . 2016 Mar; 17(3):307. PMID: 26927094
To identify potential biomarkers for improving diagnosis of melioidosis, we compared plasma metabolome profiles of melioidosis patients compared to patients with other bacteremia and controls without active infection, using ultra-high-performance...

Lau S, Lee K, Curreem S, Chow W, To K, Hung I, et al.
J Clin Microbiol . 2015 Sep; 53(12):3750-9. PMID: 26378277
Although tuberculosis (TB) is a reemerging disease that affects people in developing countries and immunocompromised populations in developed countries, the current diagnostic methods are far from optimal. Metabolomics is increasingly...

Cell Biosci . 2015 Jun; 5:26. PMID: 26097677
Background: Burkholderia pseudomallei is an emerging pathogen that causes melioidosis, a serious and potentially fatal disease which requires prolonged antibiotics to prevent relapse. However, diagnosis of melioidosis can be difficult,...

Emerg Microbes Infect . 2015 Jun; 4(1):e6. PMID: 26038762
Although previous studies have reported the use of metabolomics for Mycobacterium species differentiation, little is known about the potential of extracellular metabolites of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) as specific biomarkers. Using...
