25. Detection of Campylobacter upsaliensis from a blood culture by using the BacT/Alert system.
Campylobacter upsaliensis was isolated from the blood of a 60-year-old female with hairy cell leukemia. This spiral-shaped organism was detected in the aerobic BacT/Alert bottle (Organon Teknika, Durham, N.C.) by acridine orange staining and was recovered only on chocolate agar in a microaerophilic atmosphere at 35 degrees C.

26. Intra-Assay Performance Characteristics of Five Assays for Quantification of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 RNA in Plasma
Three kits (Roche AMPLICOR human immunodeficiency virus type 1 [HIV-1] Monitor, Chiron enhanced-sensitivity bDNA, and Organon Teknika NASBA HIV-1 QT) and two in-house assays (from National Genetics Institute and Baylor College of Medicine) were compared with a blinded panel. The results were evaluated as to intra-assay sensitivity, precision, and ability to

27. Oral fluid as a specimen for detection and confirmation of antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus type 1.
Paired serum and oral fluid specimens (n = 287) were collected with the Omni-Sal device and were assayed for the presence of antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Enzyme immunoassays (EIAs)--Abbott 3A11, an Organon Teknika Corporation research-use-only test, and the Murex GACELISA--were used per the manufacturers' inserts or were modifie

28. Evaluation of 12 Commercial Tests for Detection of Epstein-Barr Virus-Specific and Heterophile Antibodies
Ten microbiological departments in Norway have participated in a multicenter evaluation of the following commercial tests for detection of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-specific and heterophile antibodies: CAPTIA Select viral capsid antigen (VCA)-M/G/EBNA (Centocor Inc.), Enzygnost anti-EBV/immunoglobulin M (IgM) and IgG (Dade Behring), Vironostika EBV VCA IgM/Ig

29. Comparison of three rapid methods for detection of antibodies to streptolysin O and DNase B.
Three commercial systems were compared for ability to detect antibodies to streptolysin O (ASO) and DNase B (ADB). Streptozyme (Wampole Laboratories, Cranbury, N.J.) exhibited high sensitivity (100%) for detecting ASO but low sensitivity for ADB (22.2%). The LeapStrep (Organon Teknika, Malvern, Pa.) and Check-Spectra (Diagnostic Technology, Hauppauge, N.Y.)

30. Comparison of NucliSens and Roche Monitor Assays for Quantitation of Levels of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 RNA in Plasma
We compared the performance of Organon Teknika’s NucliSens and Roche Diagnostic Systems’ Monitor quantitative human immunodeficiency type 1 RNA assays. Both had similar linearity and sensitivity over most of the dynamic range of the assays, although the Monitor assay was superior at the low range of RNA values while the NucliSens assay was more consisten

31. Comparison of Two Amplification Technologies for Detection and Quantitation of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 RNA in the Female Genital Tract
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RNA levels in female genital tract and peripheral blood samples were compared using two commercial amplification technologies: the Roche AMPLICOR HIV-1 MONITOR test and either the Organon Teknika nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (NASBA-QT) assay or the NucliSens assay. Estimates of HIV-1 RNA copy number we

32. Detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in meat by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, EHEC-Tek.
Investigation of the specificity of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in raw meats (EHEC-Tek; Organon Teknika Corp.) revealed that the target antigens of the detection reagent, monoclonal antibody 4E8C12, were present in numerous serotypes of E. coli and that their ELISA reactivity was influenced by bile s

33. Evaluation of Cobas Core Rubella IgG EIA recomb, a new enzyme immunoassay based on recombinant rubella-like particles.
Cobas Core Rubella IgG EIA recomb (Roche), a new, commercially available rubella enzyme immunoassay using recombinant rubella-like particles, was compared with a hemagglutination inhibition assay (Rubenosticon; Organon Teknika) and two whole-virus enzyme immunoassays (IMx [Abbott] and Platelia [Sanofi Diagnostics Pasteur]). Compared with those of these refer

34. Evaluation of a new latex test and a new enzyme immunoassay for determination of rubella immunity.
A new enzyme immunoassay (Rubenostika; Organon Teknika, Turnhout, Belgium), a new latex agglutination test (Rubalex; Orion Diagnostica, Espoo, Finland), and three other accepted methods for the determination of rubella immunity were compared with a standard hemagglutination inhibition assay. Of 224 serum samples tested, 54 (24%) were nonreactive and 24 (11%)

35. Comparison of Difco ESP and Organon Teknika BacT/Alert continuous-monitoring blood culture systems.
The Difco ESP and Organon Teknika BacT/Alert (BTA) systems were evaluated in a clinical study of 5,421 aerobic and 5,035 anaerobic blood cultures. Of 405 clinically significant positive cultures evaluated, 272 grew in both systems, 86 grew in ESP only, and 47 grew in BTA only (P < 0.005). Of 320 organisms detected in aerobic bottles, 208 grew in both systems

36. Evaluation of commercial enzyme immunoassays for detection of hepatitis delta antigen and anti-hepatitis delta virus (HDV) and immunoglobulin M anti-HDV antibodies.
Panels of hepatitis B virus surface antigen-positive sera from drug abusers were used to evaluate 14 commercial enzyme immunoassays from six companies for detecting hepatitis delta virus (HDV) markers. For detecting hepatitis delta virus antigen (HDAg), the Wellcome, Pasteur and Noctech assays had 100% sensitivity for all 42 HDAg-positive serum specimens tha
