impatiens necrotic spot virus (insv) infects ornamental plants worldwide. it has been reported from almost every ornamental screenhouse in tehran province. insv symptoms include necrotic leaf spot, chlorosis and stunting. heavy losses have been reported from insv in plants such as zinnia elegans, ficus benjamina, viola spp., saintpaulia ioantha, althea spp., cheiranthus cheiri, pelargoniumxhort...

In this study, the antibiotic resistance (AR) of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from traditional Turkish fermented dairy products was investigated. Yogurt, white cheese, tulum cheese, cokelek, camız cream and kefir as dairy products were collected from various supermarkets. Lactic acid bacteria such as Lactobacillus spp., Streptococcus spp., Bifidobacterium spp., and Enterecoccus spp. were...

This study was conducted to determine the effects of different culture times on root growth and accumulation secondary metabolites in adventitious roots from Hyoscyamus niger petioles. For this purpose, transferred media containing 1 mM methyl jasmonate (MeJA) were harvested at 11 times, starting day 30. After harvest, fresh dry weights index as parameters growth, well amounts tropane alkaloids...

To study the putative transfer of antibiotic resistance from broiler breeders to human, hen’s eggs and theirday-old chicks were examined for the presence of bacteria. The most frequently isolated organisms indecreasing order were: Streptococcus spp., Bacillus spp., Staphylococcus spp., Klebsiella spp., Enterobacterspp. and Escherichia coli followed by Citrobacter spp., Proteus spp. and Pseudomo...

conclusions minimum biofilm eradication values of ciprofloxacin obtained in the study are close to the values of the minimal inhibition concentration (mic). results all tested strains formed a biofilm. a value of 1.0 μg/ml ciprofloxacin is mbe50 for the strains of both tested species. an mbe90 value of ciprofloxacin for isolates of p. vulgaris was 2 μg/ml and for p. mirabilis was 512 μg/ml. mat...

conclusions optimization of medium composition and synergistic antimicrobial activity on the cyanobacteria could lead to production of effective antimicrobials. results c. leptolyngbya had antimicrobial activity individually and in synergy with antibiotics against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. the highest activity of the chloroform extract was on gram positive strains and its effect...

A total of 1,013 isolates of Enterobacteriaceae were identified in parallel by the Repliscan (Cathra International, Ontario, Canada) and API 20E (Analytab Products, Plainview, N.Y.) systems. There was a 62% agreement at the genus level between the two systems. Of the 38% discrepant results, Repliscan classified 22% as "biochemical pattern not on file," 8% as a multiple-genus group which include...
