Escherichia coli K1 aslA contributes to invasion of brain microvascular endothelial cells in vitro and in vivoJ A Hoffman
Division of Infectious Diseases, Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California 90027, USA
Infect Immun 68:5062-7. 2000..Complementation of the decreased-invasion phenotypes of these mutants was achieved when aslA was supplied in trans. This is the first demonstration that this locus contributes to invasion of the blood-brain barrier by E. coli K1...

Division of Infectious Diseases, Children s Hospital Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA 90027, U S A
Microb Pathog 31:69-79. 2001..We have identified novel phenotypes associated with E. coli K1 purA and sorC, which provide evidence that these genes contribute to the invasion of HBMEC...
Prospective monitoring for invasive aspergillosis using galactomannan and polymerase chain reaction in high risk pediatric patientsSaro H Armenian
Department of Population Sciences, City of Hope National Medical Center, Duarte, CA, USA
J Pediatr Hematol Oncol 31:920-6. 2009..We evaluated the utility of prospective monitoring for invasive aspergillosis (IA) using biomarkers such as serum galactomannan (GM) and/or blood polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in high-risk pediatric patients...
