[ 1 ] - Brucella melitensis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis depict overlapping gene expression patterns induced in infected THP-1 macrophages

Pathogens infecting mammalian cells have developed various strategies to suppress and evade their hosts’ defensive mechanisms. In this line, the intracellular bacteria that are able to survive and propagate within their host cells must have developed strategies to avert their host’s killing attitude. Studying the interface of host-pathogen confrontation can provide valuable information for defi...

[ 2 ] - Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis induces differential cytosine methylation at miR-21 transcription start site region

Mycobacterium aviumsubspecies paratuberculosis (MAP), as an obligate intracellular bacterium, causes paratuberculosis (Johne’s disease) in ruminants. Plus, MAP has consistently been isolated from Crohn’s disease (CD) lesions in humans; a notion implying possible direct causative ...

[ 3 ] - Rapid quantitative detection of Listeria monocytogenes in chicken using direct and combined enrichment/qPCR method

Listeria monocytogenes is a species of foodborne pathogen often related to foods, such as poultry, ready-to-eat products, fruits, and vegetables. The culture method is a standard procedure for the detection of bacteria in food products. The real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) technique can be used for the quantification of foodborne pathogens. The current research was aimed to assess...
