Molecular Analysis of Bacterial Pathogens in Otitis Media With Effusion
J. C. Post,Preston Ra,Aul Jj,Larkins-Pettigrew M,J. Rydquist-White,Anderson Kw,Robert M. Wadowsky,Reagan Dr,Walker Es,Lawrence A. Kingsley,Magit Ae,Garth D. Ehrlich +11 more
TL;DR: The PCR-based assay systems can detect the presence of bacterial DNA in a significant percentage of culturally sterile middle ear effusions, and the large number of bacterial genomic equivalents present in the ears is suggestive of an active process.

Effect of temperature, pH, and oxygen level on the multiplication of naturally occurring Legionella pneumophila in potable water.
TL;DR: A water culture containing naturally occurring Legionella pneumophila and associated microbiota was maintained in the laboratory by serially transferring the culture in tap water which had been sterilized by membrane filtration, and an association was observed between the multiplication of L. pneumophile and the non-Legionellaceae bacteria which were also present in the water culture.

Chronic high Epstein-Barr viral load state and risk for late-onset posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease/lymphoma in children.
M. A. Bingler,Brian Feingold,Susan A. Miller,E.S. Quivers,Marian G. Michaels,Michael Green,Robert M. Wadowsky,David T. Rowe,Steven A. Webber +8 more
TL;DR: A chronic high EBV‐load state is not benign and is a predictor of de novo or recurrent PTLD, and this state may identify patients at high risk for development of late PTLD/lymphoma.

Intracellular multiplication ofLegionella pneumophila in amoebae isolated from hospital hot water tanks
Barry S. Fields,Gary N. Sanden,J M Barbaree,W E Morrill,Robert M. Wadowsky,Elizabeth White,James C. Feeley +6 more
TL;DR: Control of these amoebae in potable water may prevent colonization and multiplication ofLegionella in domestic hot water systems.

Growth-supporting activity for Legionella pneumophila in tap water cultures and implication of hartmannellid amoebae as growth factors.
Robert M. Wadowsky,L J Butler,M K Cook,S M Verma,M A Paul,B S Fields,G Keleti,J L Sykora,Robert B. Yee +8 more
TL;DR: Photosynthetic cyanobacteria, heterotrophic bacteria, free-living amoebae, and ciliated protozoa may support growth of Legionella pneumophila in some tap water cultures and hartmannellid amoEBae appear to be important determinants of multiplication of L. pneumophILA.
