Differentiation of M. scrofulaceum from Related Mycobacterial Species by Double-Diffusion Technique

Isolation and differentiation of various species of mycobacteria are predominantly based on conventional, cultural and biochemical tests. Among the non-tuberculous mycobacteria, these tests are unable to differentiate M. scrofulaceum from M. avium-intracellulare (MAI) because of their identical biochemical characteristics. For this reason, one hundred mycobacterial strains suspected to be M. ...

Rapid lysis technique for mycobacterial species.

The lysis of mycobacterial cells typically has been difficult and time-consuming. We report a method for the physical rupture of Mycobacterium paratuberculosis and several other members of the family Mycobacteriaceae using a Mini-Beadbeater cell disrupter (Biospec Products; Bartlesville, Okla.) and zirconium beads, a process which yields DNA and RNA of high molecular weight and in greater quant...

Differentiation of two closely related species of the genus Empoasca (Hem.: Cicadellidae)

پیش‌تر، گونه‌ای زنجرک از مزارع چغندرقند استان اصفهان به اشتباه به نام Empoasca decipiens (Paoli) گزارش شده است که در این نوشتار نام صحیح آن به‌صورت Empoasca meridiana Zachvatkin اعلام می‌گردد. گونه‌ی اخیر دارای سینونیم شناخته‌تری به نام Empoasca punjabensis Singh-Pruthi می‌باشد. گونه‌های آسیایی خویشاوند گونه‌ی E. decipiens، براساس شکل پیگوفر (pygofer) ژنیتالیای نر ازهم تفکیک می‌گردند، به‌طوری‌ک...

Differentiation between Mycobacterium bovis BCG-vaccinated and M. bovis-infected cattle by using recombinant mycobacterial antigens.

Tuberculosis continues to be a worldwide problem for both humans and animals. The development of tests to differentiate between infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis or Mycobacterium bovis and vaccination with M. bovis BCG could greatly assist in the diagnosis of early infection as well as enhance the use of tuberculosis vaccines on a wider scale. Recombinant forms of four major secreted pr...
