Escherichia coli was isolated from the feces of 122 piglets with diarrhea on 55 farms in Korea. The virulence genes of each isolate were characterized by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Of the 562… (More)
PURPOSE
To assess the diagnostic accuracy of two-phase 64-section cardiac computed tomographic (CT) angiography for detection of left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombi and differentiation between… (More)
BACKGROUND
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) play a pivotal role in repair and regeneration of damaged vessels. We investigated the role of mobilized EPCs in the healing process after intravascular… (More)
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) is an important cause of diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome worldwide. E. coli O26 and O111 are the serotypes most frequently… (More)
A plasmid harboring eltB, the gene encoding heat-labile enterotoxin (LTB), was constructed by insertion of eltB into an Asd(+) β-lactamase signal plasmid (pMMP65). This was introduced into the Δlon… (More)
