aim : the purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of enteropathogenic escherichia coli (epec) and shiga toxin producing e. coli (stec) strains in healthy broilers in iran.   background : stec and epec strains as diarrheagenic e. coli are among the most prevalent causative agents in acute diarrhea. domestic animals, mainly cattle and sheep, have been implicated as the principal r...

conclusions the results showed that e. coli isolated from patients with uti had eight virulence factors with high frequencies. moreover, these results alleged a direct connection between virulence factors and antimicrobial resistance in e. coli. results the frequency of virulence factors papc, afa, sfa/foc, fimh, hly, neuc, ibea, and iucc were 53.3%, 51.7%, 53.3%, 56.7%, 23.3%, 31.7%, 20%, and ...

وراثت مقاومت سفیدبالک گلخانه، Trialeurodes vaporariorum Westwood (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae)، به دو ترکیب ایمیداکلوپرید و کلرپایریفوس مورد مطالعه قرار گرفت. در این پژوهش، از جمعیت فیلستان ورامین (FL) عنوان والد مقاوم فردیس کرج (FR) حساس استفاده شد. مقدار ترتیب حدودا 62/13 91/14 برابر بود. عدم وجود اختلاف معنی‌دار LC50 روی تلاقی‌های F1 (R♂×S♀) Fʹ1 (R♀×S♂) نشان داد که T. نوع اتوزومی (غیرجنسی) است. ه...

B Background The pathogenic bacterium Listeria monocytogenes is able to cross the endothelial, placental and blood-brain barrier causing gastritis, meningitis, neonatal death and other diseases in humans. PrfA (Positive regulatory factor A) is the sole regulator of the virulence genes identified in Listeria monocytogenes till date. It regulates genes within the virulence gene cluster (vgc), whi...

propose a novel approach, which is tive matrix factorization (NMF), to ide expression data. One of NMF it can directly process these data tion. Firstly, we design an optimal F approach. Compared with the rithms, our algorithm is more stable ry fast. We have coded the final hly optimized C. Secondly; we of NMF in the extraction of the erns from genome wide expression e simulation experiments are...

Detection of pathogens in contaminated food products by PCR can result in false-positive data due to the amplification of DNA from nonviable cells. A new method based on reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) amplification of mRNA for the specific detection of viable Listeria monocytogenes was developed. The expression of three L. monocytogenes genes, iap, hly, and prfA, was examined to determine a...
