Bloodstream infections progress rapidly to life threatening septicemia and sepsis hence appropriate rapid management is crucial. A prospective study was carried out in the department of microbiology where patients with clinical suspension bacteremia were enrolled blood culture performed. The isolates identified by phenotypic characters antimicrobial susceptibility total 1200 samples collected w...

background the 30 kda major secretory protein of mycobacterium tuberculosis (antigen 85b) is a primary vaccine candidate. this secreted antigen induces a protective immune response and stimulates the production of ifn-γ in animal models. objectives the aim of this study was cloning and expression of ag 85b of m. tuberculosis in escherichia coli. materials and methods to produce recombinant ag85...

this study was performed from february to april 2006; several visits were made to abattoirs in the north of iran for hypoderma spp infestation. necropsy inspection of slaughtered and skinned animals were carried out by examination of the inner skin surface and subcutaneous tissues. warbles were isolated by squeezing nodules from subcutaneous tissues. in the case of abscess presence, aseptic sam...

We determined and annotated the complete 2.2-megabase genome sequence of Pyrobaculum aerophilum, a facultatively aerobic nitrate-reducing hyperthermophilic (T(opt) = 100 degrees C) crenarchaeon. Clues were found suggesting explanations of the organism's surprising intolerance to sulfur, which may aid in the development of methods for genetic studies of the organism. Many interesting features wo...

Hydrogenobacter thermophilus Kawasumi et al. 1984 is the type species of the genus Hydrogenobacter. H. thermophilus was the first obligate autotrophic organism reported among aerobic hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria. Strain TK-6(T) is of interest because of the unusually efficient hydrogen-oxidizing ability of this strain, which results in a faster generation time compared to other autotrophs. It is...

Infection of a prosthetic joint is uncommon in standard primary arthroplasty, occurring in 1%-2% of all cases.1,2 Recommendations for treatment differ depending on the time-course of the infection, the infecting organism, whether the implant is well-fixed, and the patient’s health.3,4 The most common organism cultured in a septic total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA) is ...

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (previously named Xanthomonas maltophilia) is an aerobic, non-fermentive, Gram-negative bacillus that is wide spread in the environment. It was considered to be an organism with limited pathogenic potential, which was rarely capable of causing diseases in human other than those who were in debilitated or immunocompromised state. More recent studies have established ...

The intestinal microbiota, which has gained a foothold in the field of research, represents significant factor for human health because its ability to form relationships with organism through modulation pathophysiological processes. Dysbiosis, is caused by non-specific inflammation and leads condition persistent low-grade inflammation, may be poor eating habits an unhealthy lifestyle, as well p...

In recent years, it has been recognized that bacteria can produce antibiotics of wide structural diversity. Many examples for the production of the antibiotics knownas products of Actinomycetales by eubacteria have been reported1*. Here, we will report the isolation of azomycin from the culture broth of a strain identified as Pseudomonas fluorescens. Azomycinwas first isolated from a strain res...

Sphingomonas paucimobilis is a yellow-pigmented, glucose nonfermenting, aerobic, Gram negative bacillus of low pathogenicity. This organism was found in the implantation of indwelling catheters, sterile intravenous fluid, or contaminated hospital environment such as tap and distilled water, nebulizer, ventilator, and hemodialysis device. A 55-year-old female was hospitalized for diabetic foot u...
