Laboratory ethnography extended the social scientist's gaze into the day-to-day accomplishment of scientific practice. Here we reflect upon our own ethnographies of biomedical scientific workspaces to provoke methodological discussion on the doing of laboratory ethnography. What we provide is less a 'how to' guide and more a commentary on what to look for and what to look at. We draw upon our e...

the genus entamoeba contains many species, six of which (entamoeba histolytica, entamoeba dispar, entamoeba moshkovskii, entamoeba polecki, entamoeba coli, and entamoeba hartmanni) reside in the human intestinal lumen. entamoeba histolytica is the causative agent of amebiasis in humans with a worldwide distribution. correct detection of e.histolytica is frequently a major concern in diagnostic ...

to investigate the effects of different salinity levels of nacl on germination of safflower (cv. esfahan 24) seeds under three different incubation methods, a factorial experiment was carried out based on a complete randomize design with three replications. salinity levels were 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 dsm-1 (nacl) and incubation methods were sandwich method, and using petri dishes with open or clos...

Gonorrhoea is normally diagnosed presumptively by the presence of intracellular Gram-negative cocci on a Gram stain and confirmed by culture of the causative organism, Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Alternative methods have been evaluated extensively for the detection of gonococci in clinical specimens including immunological techniques such as ELISA and immunofluorescence, DNA probes, genetic transfor...

background and objective: implementation of standard methods for accurate detection of bacteria, correct antibiotic susceptibility testing and effective treatment of bacterial infections play important roles in development of public health and prevention of drug resistance. this study aimed to detect bacteria using standard methods and compare the results with the results obtained in teaching h...
