Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEpidemiology and Detection of Bacterial Diarrhea Using Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction, Focusing on Campylobacter spp.Eun Ju Oh, Tae Su Jang, Jung Min Park, Jae Kyung KimThis study assessed the clinical characteristics, epidemiological trends, and changes associated with major pathogens causing gastrointestinal inflammation. We retrospectively analyzed the test results of hospitalized patients who were administered a mPCR test for diarrhea causing bacteria between June 2010 and December 2019 at the Cheonan Dankook University hospital in the Republic of Korea and identified clinical characteristics and epidemiological trends … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 27 Mar 2023 · 4,979 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAn Observational Study on the Prevalence of Sexually Transmitted Infections in Cheonan from 2017 to 2021Sun Jung Lee, Tae Su Jang, Jae Kyung KimAlthough the global incidence of sexually transmitted infections is increasing annually, there are few studies in Cheonan that have analyzed the frequency of infection by individual bacterial species by age since 2017. Therefore, in this observational study, we investigated trends in sexually transmitted infections in Cheonan, South Korea, since 2017. From January 2017 to November 2021, 3,297 specimens were obtained … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 17 Apr 2024 · 6,316 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Underestimated Prevalence of Ureaplasma Infections: A Comprehensive Epidemiological Study in South Korea (2018-2020)Jae Eun Choi, Bo Kyeung Jung, Eun Ju Oh, Jae Kyung KimUreaplasma infections are frequently underestimated due to potential inaccuracies in data collection from symptomatic patients. This study aimed to accurately assess the prevalence of Ureaplasma Urealyticum (UU) and Ureaplasma Parvum (UP) infections among outpatients aged 0-70 years in South Korea between 2018 and 2020. A total of 59,381 clinical samples, including swabs and urine specimens, were collected and analyzed using … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2024 · 6,130 accessesView PDF Cite

Short CommunicationsOpen accessIn the keywordsMolecular Testing for Respiratory Tract Infections May Have Favorable Impact on Real-world Healthcare CostsAzia Evans, Vijay Singh, Pallavi Upadhyay et al.Molecular testing by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) has improved diagnostic performance to inform appropriate treatment. However, its impact on healthcare utilization and costs related to respiratory tract infections are yet to be studied in detail. The aim of this study is to evaluate the costs of healthcare utilization following traditional culture and molecular PCR diagnostic testing for respiratory tract infections. … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 20, Issue 3 · 15 Jan 2025 · 5,262 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrevalence of Diarrhea-Causing Pathogens in South Korea Analyzed Using Molecular Diagnostic MethodsYonghee Lee, Jae Kyung KimGastrointestinal inflammation remains a prevalent global health concern. Prompt and accurate diagnosis of the condition is required to mitigate health risks in immunocompromised individuals and alleviate the economic burden linked to treatment and pathogen isolation. Challenges posed by traditional culture tests, such as long detection time and inability to isolate low-abundance organisms, can be overcome using molecular diagnostic methods, which … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 25 Jul 2024 · 5,005 accessesView PDF Cite
