Diagnostic detection of AML1/ETO gene fusion by polymerase chain reaction

Detection of the eaeA Gene in Escherichia coli Isolated from Broiler Chickens by Polymerase Chain Reaction

The aim of this study was to isolate Escherichia coli from chickens and to determine the presence of the eaeA gene, a virulence factor detected in Escherichia coli, in the isolates by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Different chicken organs (lung, liver and spleen) were inoculated onto blood agar and biochemical tests were performed on the suspicious isolates. Escherichiacoliwas isolated from ...

Detection of the ectC Gene in Halomonas Strains by Polymerase Chain Reaction

1, 4, 5, 6-Tetrahydro-2-methyl-4-pyrimidine carboxylic acid (ectoine) is an excellent osmoprotectant. Ectoine and hydroxyl ectoines are of great significance to the biotechnology industry, thus the detection and isolation of ectoine producing bacteria is of great importance. Hence, this study involved the detection of the ectC gene (encoding ectoin synthase enzyme) using polymerase chain reacti...

Rapid Detection of Campylobacter jejuni by Polymerase Chain Reaction and Evaluation of its Sensitivity and Specificity

Introduction: Campylobacter jejuni is one of the most common causes of food poising in humans. Rapid and specific detection of these bacteria has an important role in diagnosis and treatment of infection. The aim of this study was to design a specific PCR for the detection of Campylobacter jejuni. Methods: In this experimental study, oxidoreductase gene from the Campylobacter jejuni was sele...

Evaluation of G2677T/A polymorphism of MDR1 gene by polymerase chain reaction in Mazandaran province, Iran

The human MDR1 gene encodes for a P-glycoprotein (PGP), which acts as an efflux pump that transports a large variety of substrates from the inside of cells to the outside until protection against xenobiotics. The G2677T/A polymorphism in exon 21 is associated with PGP expression and function in humans. The present study was aimed to determine the frequencies of this polymorphism in a healthy po...
