The Use of Aptamer in Detection of Pathogenic Bacteria-

Detection, identification and measurement of microbial pathogens is critical for protecting public health. Although microbial culture-based tests and molecular techniques are currently the most commonly used, these techniques are time-consuming and require complex tools and experienced individuals. Consequently, it is costly to analyze these techniques. The emergence of the aptamer led to the e...

Rational evaluation of antimicrobial properties of lactobacilli isolates against some pathogenic microorganisms: a new method comparing the susceptibility of indicator microorganisms

BACKGROUND: Lactobacilli are known as a valuable sourceof antimicrobial compounds and have a high potential of use infood biopreservation against food related microorganisms.OBJECTIVES: Antimicrobial potency of 63 dairy lactobacilliisolates against four highly important food-related microorganismswere evaluated. In addition, a new way in data organization wasintroduced, which led to a more info...

Evaluation of ten SNP Markers for Human Identification and Paternity Analysis in Persian Population

Background: DNA markers are inevitable tools of human identification in forensic science. Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are one category of these markers which is concerned to use especially in the case of degraded DNA because of their short amplicons. Objectives: Detection of highly informative SNPs by the criteria is the essential step to devel...

Evaluation of the Effect of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles on the Inhibition of Biofilm formation of standard Pathogenic Bacteria and Comparison with Drug Resistant Isolates

Introduction: Traditional medicines cannot adequately reach the target tissues, due to their large size; therefore, the attention of researchers has been drawn to the use of nanomedicines. In fact, the use of biological active compounds loaded on the surface of nanoparticles can be effective the in the promotion of their antimicrobial activity. In the earlier studies, it was demonstrated that b...
