Wolbachia pipientis growth kinetics and susceptibilities to 13 antibiotics determined by immunofluorescence staining and real-time PCR.
Wolbachia spp. are strict intracellular bacteria that infect a wide range of arthropods and filarial nematodes. Filarial nematodes are important causes of human diseases. There is increasing evidence that Wolbachia spp. influence important functions in the biology of the hosts, specifically, infertility. Preliminary experiments with humans and animals have suggested that antibiotics with activi...
متن کاملComparison of quantitative real-time PCR and direct immunofluorescence for the detection of Pneumocystis jirovecii
BACKGROUND Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) is a serious risk for HIV-positive patients. Asymptomatic infection or colonisation with P. jirovecii has been shown to occur frequently. PCR assays frequently identify such cases, due to their high sensitivity. Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) gene copy number cut-off values have been suggested to differentiate colonisation and infection; these need to ...
متن کاملRapid and accurate diagnosis of Foot-and-mouth disease virus by Real-time PCR in field samples
During 2010-2011, Real-time PCR procedure was used to detecting FMDV RNA on 147 epithelium samples from the field. In this survey, for Real-time PCR from 3D gene segment as conserve region selected for tracking all of seven serotypes FMDV. The assay detected the viral RNA in all serotypes of FMDV. The rRT-PCR specifically detected FMD virus in sample with greater sensitivity than our convention...
متن کاملThe Diagnosis of Secondary Syphilis by Gram and Giemsa Staining
A 21-year-old man presented with a painless ulcer on the penis, which had been present for 4 weeks, and diffuse, symmetrical erythematous maculopapules on the trunk, extremities, palms, and soles, which had been present for 1 week. Gram staining of bloody exudate from his chancre revealed very weakly Gram-negative spiral rods (Picture 1; × 1,000). We therefore performed Giemsa staining, which r...
متن کاملClinical value of Treponema pallidum real-time PCR for diagnosis of syphilis.
The diagnosis of syphilis can be complicated when it is based on diverse clinical manifestations, dark-field microscopy, and serology. In the present study, therefore, we examined the additional clinical value of a Treponema pallidum real-time TaqMan PCR for the detection of primary and secondary syphilis. The additional value of the T. pallidum real-time PCR for the diagnosis of primary syphil...
