Isolation and identification of freshwater bacteria antagonistic to Giardia intestinalis cysts.
We have isolated three freshwater bacterial strains that demonstrate the ability to degrade Giardia intestinalis cysts. These strains have been identified by 16S rRNA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis as belonging to the Flavobacterium columnare clade of the Cytophaga-Flavobacterium group. While the cyst degradation mechanism is unclear, two different effects on the cysts were observed: non-...
متن کاملGiardia intestinalis in Thailand: Identification of Genotypes
This study was undertaken to determine the genetic diversities of Giardia intestinalis isolated in Thailand. G. intestinalis cysts were collected from stool samples of 61 subjects residing in Bangkok or in rural communities of Thailand with and without gastrointestinal symptoms. All the cyst samples gave positive tpi amplicons (100% sensitivity), either of the 148- or the 81-bp tpi segments. Cy...
متن کاملMolecular Identification of Giardia intestinalis and Blastocystis hominis Genotypes from Fecal Samples in Khuzestan Province, Iran
Background and purpose: Giardia and Blastocystis are common parasites of humans with a wide range of hosts. The aim of this study was to identify the genotypes of Giardia intestinalis and Blastocystis hominis in individuals attending Bavi health centers in Khuzestan province, Iran. Materials and methods: In this study, 30 positive stool samples of Giardia and Blastocystis were collected from i...
متن کاملIsolation, Identification and Screening of Endophytic Bacteria Antagonistic to Biofilm Formers
An array of 76 endophytic bacterial isolates obtained from different plant tissues including root, stem and fresh and wilted leaves of various plants in Punjab, Pakistan were investigated for their antagonistic ability to biofilm formers. The morphological, biochemical and physiological characterization and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis of the selected endophytic isolates leads to the identif...
متن کاملIsolation and molecular identification of carotenoid-producing bacteria
The production of pigments from bacteria is significant due to the low cost, high yield and ease of extract compared with other sources. Carotenoids are one of the most important pigments with antioxidant properties which are the precursor of vitamin A synthesis and have antibody overproduction ability, anti-tumor activity and inhibitory effect on the cardiovascular disease. The present study a...
