These evidence-based guidelines have been produced after a literature review of the laboratory diagnosis and susceptibility testing of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). We have considered the detection of MRSA in screening samples and the detection of reduced susceptibility to glycopeptides in S. aureus. Recommendations are given for the identification of S. aureus and for sui...

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a promising tool in the analytical science because it provides good selectivity and sensitivity without the labeling process required by fluorescence detection. This technique consists of locating the target analyte on nanometer range of roughed Au-nanoparticles. The presence of the metal nanoparticles provides a tremendous enhancement to the result...

background: classical bacteriological detection of brucella species from food, and environment is routinely carried out based on morphological and biochemical characteristics. however, for increasing specificity and sensitivity of species identification methods, development of a molecular assay is necessary that was main aim of this study. methods: panel of some reference strains belonging to t...

introduction: lactic acid bacteria are widely used for the fermentation and preservation of dairy and meat products and to improve their aroma and texture. the aim of this study wasto screen lactobacillus plantarum isolated from sausage for detection of plasmids, protein bandsand phages, to find possible linkage of bacteriocin production to genetic location. material and methods: two lactobacil...

odontogenic tumors contain a heterogeneous collection of lesions that are categorized from hamartomas to benign and malignant neoplasms of inconstant aggressiveness. odontogenic tumors are usually extraordinary with assessed frequency of short of 0.5 cases/100,000 population for every year. the lesions such as odontogenic tumors are inferred from the components of the tooth-structuring contrapt...

conclusions our study demonstrated that the b1 gene, more so than the re gene, showed positive samples and can be used to detect toxoplasmosis, although the b1 gene, in comparison to the re gene, did not show any superiority of molecular diagnosing capability. results also showed that toxoplasma molecular detection methods can be used instead of routine serological detection methods in a clinic...

in recent years due to improvements of technology within automobile industry, design process of advanced driver assistance systems for collision avoidance and traffic management has been investigated in both academics and industrial levels. detection of traffic signs is an effective method to reach the mentioned aims. in this paper a new intelligent driver assistance system based on traffic sig...

The novel coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has introduced as causative agent for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) since the 2019 December. Human coronaviruses are classified in Nidovirales order and Coronavirdiae family. This family includes four genera. The SARS-CoV-2 is a member of Betacoronavirus genera and Sarbecovirus linage (linage B). There is ...
