TY - JOUR AU - Trampuz, Andrej AU - Steinhuber, Andrea AU - Wittwer, Matthias AU - Leib, Stephen L. PY - 2007 DA - 2007/10/10 TI - Rapid diagnosis of experimental meningitis by bacterial heat production in cerebrospinal fluid JO - BMC Infectious Diseases SP - 116 VL - 7 IS - 1 AB - Calorimetry is a nonspecific technique which allows direct measurement of heat generated by biological processes in the living cell. We evaluated the potential of calorimetry for rapid detection of bacterial growth in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in a rat model of bacterial meningitis.
