Field evaluation of a personal, bioaerosol cyclone sampler.

30 Oct 2008 A personal cyclone sampler (cyclone) was operated continuously alongside a 25-mm filter sampler (filter), a slit impactor (Burkard slide), and a high-volume cyclone sampler (Burkard cyclone) at an outdoor location with abundant naturally occurring ... Read more...

Operating room ventilation with laminar airflow shows no protective effect on the surgical site infection rate in orthopedic and abdominal surgery.

30 Oct 2008 OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether operating room (OR) ventilation with (vertical) laminar airflow impacts on surgical site infection (SSI) rates. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort-study based on routine surveillance data. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Sixty-three ... Read more...

Phycicoccus aerophilus sp. nov., isolated from air.

29 Sep 2008 A Gram-positive, short rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacterium, designated 5516T-20(T), was isolated from an air sample. The results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses showed that strain 5516T-20(T) belonged to the family Intrasporangiaceae, having ... Read more...
