[ 1 ] - Patulin contamination in apple products marketed in Shiraz, Southern Iran
Background and Purpose: Patulin is one of the important mycotoxins, produced by a wide range of molds, including Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Bysochlamys. Patulin is mainly found in the rotten parts of fruits and vegetables, such as apples, pears, peach, apricots, and grapes. Currently, the Codex Alimentarius and Food and Drug Administration have recommended a maximum level of 50 μg/L patul...
[ 2 ] - Osteomyelitis and lung abscess due to Aspergillus fumigatus in a chronic granulomatous disease patient
Background and Purpose: Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an inherited disorder of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase complex. This disorder results in recurrent life-threatening bacterial and fungal infections. Aspergillus species are the most common fungal infections in these patients. Case Report: Herein, we present a case of fungal infection in a girl wi...
[ 3 ] - The Frequency of Exotoxin A and Exoenzymes S and U Genes Among Clinical Isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Shiraz, Iran
Pseudomonas aeruginosa as an opportunistic pathogen produces several virulence factors. The most important of these factors are exotoxin A and type III secretion system (T3SS). The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of toxA, exoU and exoS genes among clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa. In this cross-sectional study from September 2011 to February 2012, 156 P. aeruginosa isolates w...
[ 4 ] - تأثیرات داروهای ضد قارچ آزول بر پاسخ سیتوکینی سلول‌های کراتینوسیت انسانی
چکیده : مقدمه و هدف: امروزه ترکیبات آزول به صورت موفقیت‌آمیزی در درمان عفونت‌های قارچی به کار می‌روند. اخیراً نقش برخی از ترکیبات آزول در القا یا سرکوب پاسخ‌های سیستم ایمنی مشاهده شده است. کراتینوسیت‌ها به عنوان یکی از فراوان‌ترین سلول‌های پوست، نقش مؤثری در پاسخ ایمنی ذاتی علیه عوامل پاتوژن ایفا می‌نمایند. نظر به فقدان مطالعه جامع در خصوص تأثیر آزول‌ها بر پاسخ‌های ایمنی، هدف از این مطالعه ت...
[ 5 ] - SDS-PAGE Analysis of the Outer Membrane Proteins of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli Isolated from Patients in Different Wards of Nemazee Hospital, Shiraz, Iran
Background: Outer membrane proteins (OMPs) constitute the main structure and about half of the cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria. The OMPs of Escherichia coli (E. coli) play an important role in its drug resistance. Previous studies have shown that the OMPs of E. coli enhance its pathogenic effects by helping the bacterium to evade the immune defense and promote its adsorption to host cells. ...
