    E O Kajander
    Department of Biochemistry, University of Kuopio, Kuopio, Finland
    Lett Appl Microbiol 42:549-52. 2006
    ..Despite the controversy of their classification, they propagate and cause cell death in vitro and are associated or found in many human diseases. Thus, more efforts should be focussed on research on pathogenicity of CNP...

    N Ciftcioglu
    Department of Biochemistry, University of Kuopio, Finland
    Kidney Int 56:1893-8. 1999
