Sensitive differential detection of genetically related mycobacterial pathogens in archival material.

Design and production of a genetically simulant construct for the detection of B. malei and pseudomaleii

Aim & Background the genus Burkholderia (mallei and pseudomallei species) are classified as dangerous human pathogens. Diagnosing cultures for this bacterium is costly and time consuming and on the other hand it is very dangerous to work with and it is very difficult to access this bacterium. the porpose of this research Design and production of a genetically simulant construct for the detectio...

Rapid detection of the most important pathogenic microorganisms in water and Food by (Chromogenic media)

Abstract Background and Objectives: Chromogenic media are the newest methods applied for rapid detection of pathogenic microorganisms in drinking water and food from 1998-2008. These Specific media contained the compounds acting as a substrate for microbial enzymes and, according to the type of enzyme, produce specific color. The aim of this study was to introduce the chromogenic media as a pow...

Molecular approaches for detection and identification of foodborne pathogens

Foodborne pathogens comprise microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria and parasites that can be transmitted by food and affect public health worldwide. The most common viruses transmitted via food are hepatitis A virus and Norwalk-like caliciviruses. Also, the most common bacteria involved in foodborne illnesses are Campylobacter jejuni, Clostridium perfringens, Salmonella spp, Escherichia...

Detection of NAD(P)H: Quinone Oxidoreductase 609C T Polymorphism in Blood and Archival Human Tissues Using a Simple PCR Method

Polymerase Chain Reaction, Bacteriologic Detection and Antibiogram of Bacteria Isolated from Otitis Media with Effusion in Children, Shiraz, Iran

Background: Otitis media with effusion is one of the leading causes of hearing loss in children. Effective treatment of effusion in the middle ear requires appropriate empirical treatment and characterization of responsible pathogens. Objective of the present study was to detect pathogens in clinical samples from patients with otitis media with effusion in our area and to determine the sensitiv...
