objective: mycoplasma salivarium (m. salivarium) isone of the most common contaminants present in cell culture laboratories that cause undesirable effects on cell cultures. thus, the identification and rapid diagnosis in controlling and prevention of this contaminant are important. the aim of this study is the detection of mycoplasma salivarium contamination in cell culture using polymerase cha...

contagious agalactiae (c.a.) is one of the most common disease affecting small ruminants which is caused by mycoplasma agalactiae. this disease is particularly widespread around the world and iran is one of the countries that c.a. is present. the aim of this study was isolation and identification of m. agalactiae (mg) with culture and pcr technique in milk samples in kordestan province, iran. a...

background and objectives: contamination of cell lines and biological products is one of the major problems of cell culture techniques. rapid detection of mycoplasma contamination in cell culture is an important part of quality control standards in related laboratories. the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of pcr in detection of myroplasma as contaminants in cell cultures and othe...

Mycoplasma gallisepticum is the most important and infectious Mycoplasmosis. It is caused lots of economic losses for poultry's industry of Iran. The target of this study is comparison of culture and nested PCR techniques to detect Mycoplasma gallisepticum infection of chicken’s from industrial farms in Kerman province of Iran. 88 isolates received from industrial far...

Introduction: Early diagnosis of bacteremia and its complications is the most important part of the care and management of the children. The utility of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques has been shown to identify pathogens in less and more optimal time. The aim of our study was to evaluate the importance and prevalence of occult bacteremia using universal PCR of blood in 3-36 month chi...

mycoplasma agalactiae (m. agalactiae) is one of the main causes of contagious agalactia, an infectious syndrome of sheep and goats in khuzestan province –southwest of iran that is characterized by mastitis and subsequent failure of milk production, arthritis, abortion and keratoconjunctivitis. this study was carried out to isolation and identification of m. agalactiae with culture and polymeras...

Many epidemiological studies of Salmonella rely on conventional bacteriological culture methods to detect Salmonella in fecal samples. These culture-based methods are inefficient for epidemiological studies in populations with a low prevalence of Salmonella. The objective of this study was to optimize a protocol that uses pooled Salmonella enrichment broth cultures of bovine feces and polymeras...

OBJECTIVE To describe the use of bacterial DNA amplification of conserved bacterial 16S ribosomal DNA nucleotide sequences by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect the presence of septicemia in critically ill septic patients. DESIGN Case series of blood samples from septic patients comparing the PCR results with conventional blood culture results. SETTING A general intensive care unit i...

the central issue in strategy formulation and implementation process, or strategy-making, is the identification of environmental forces and the preparation of a plan of action to deal with them. this necessitates scanning the environment for gathering information. environmental scanning should enable the firm to identify these forces. doing this not only calls for information gathering, but als...
