OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution of microbiologic agents causing cervicovaginitis. METHODS We conducted the study between October 2002 and December 2004 in Abant Izzet Baysal University, Duzce School of Medicine Hospital, Turkey. The samples were obtained from the posterior vaginal fornix and cervix by swabs in 828 patients. Direct microscopic examination, culture and enzyme immune a...

Despite recombinant protein technology development, proteins isolated from natural sources remain important for structure and activity determination. Ficolins represent a class of proteins that are difficult to isolate. To date, three methods for purifying ficolin-3 from plasma/serum have been proposed, defined by most critical step: (i) hydroxyapatite absorption chromatography (ii) N-acetylate...

Interfaces between silicon and oxides are of great fundamental and technological interest. According to the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors, the SiO2-based gate oxide in metal-oxide-semiconductor MOS transistors used in computer processors should be replaced by a higher-K value dielectric material starting in 2008.1 Presently, off-state gate tunneling is increasing power con...

The ability of Bacillus alvei to form migrating colonies upon the surfaces of solid media free from excessive moisture was reported previously by Smith and Clark (1938).2 A similar property has been noted by Roberts (1935) for Bacillus rotans. Recently Shinn (1938), in a cinematographic study of colony motility of B. alvei, remarked that it was surprising that such motility had been so long ove...

Six different types of bacteria (five strains of lactic acid bacterium and one strain of coliform) isolated from 35-day-old Serra cheese were assayed for proteolytic and lipolytic activities on milk agar and tributyrin agar, respectively. Peptidase and lipase activities were further studied via analytical assaying of free amino acids by spectrophotometry and of free fatty acids by HPLC in in vi...

INTRODUCTION Patients requiring long-term ventilation are at high risk of lower airway infections, generally of endogenous development. Patients on long-term ventilation, in particular via a tracheostomy, may develop tracheobronchitis or pneumonia of exogenous pathogenesis, ie, caused by microorganisms not carried in the oropharynx. The frequency of exogenous colonization or infection has previ...

The purpose of this study was to identify diseases in gariang fish the Lubuk larangan river. research locations used were Nagari Guguak Kuranji Hilir, Sungai Limau District, Sikucur Barat, District V Koto Kampung, Lareh Nan Panjang Selatan, VII Sariak and Sicincin, 2 x 11, six environments carried out from September December 2021. Fish samples tested laboratory at Padang Fisheries Product Quara...

Anatomic adaptations make birds more prone to open fractures with exposed bone parts losing vascularization. As a result of this exposure, are colonized by different microorganisms, including types bacteria, both aerobic and anaerobic, causing osteomyelitis in many cases. For reason, antibiotic treatment is common. However, carrying out without previous antibiogram may contribute increased resi...
