background: acute bacterial meningitis is among serious infections of the central nervous system (cns). the early diagnosis and empiric antibiotic treatments have led to a reduction in morbidity and mortality rates. pcr and the enzymatic digestion of 16s rdna fragment following the pcr by universal primers led up fast and sensitive determination. the aims of the present study was to improve our...

A rapid and accurate enzymatic assay has been developed for the determination of blood serum levels of BB-K8 and other suitable aminoglycoside antibiotics.

A simple colorimetric assay for blood glucose has been developed based on enzymatic engineering of gold nanorods by glucose oxidase (GOx)-mediated oxidative etching of gold nanorods.

Introd u ction Clinical chemistry, for decades restricted to a limited number of chemical tests, has, in recent years, through an increasing awareness of the value of the laboratory investigation of disease, and the introduc­ tion of automation and sophisticated instru­ mentation, expanded its field of operations to include a bewildering variety of tests. Advances in biochemical knowledge have ...

ied this possibility by performing the enzymatic assay on controls containing increasing concentrations of ACET in the presence of different therapeutic concentrations of NAC (Fig. 1A). Evidently, NAC concentrations $100 mg/L cause a marked negative bias, reaching total suppression of the reaction in the presence of 10 g/L NAC. In contrast, similar concentrations of NAC have no effect on the AC...

objective: the aim of this experiment   was to observe and study the effects of two anti-fungus essences. methods: thymus vulgaris and thymus kotschyanus, against two fungi pathogens botrytis cinerea and rhizopus stolonifere, and the quality of strawberries after cropping. this study is performed in two assays, in vitro and in vivo.  a treatment consists: control, 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000 µl/l....
