Pyocine production typing and restriction fragment length polymor¬ phism (RFLP) of plasmid DNA with BamHl (BamHl RFLP) were com¬ pared for intraspecies discrimination of 1 00 Pseudomonas aerugi¬ nosa isolâtes. Typeability of pyocine production method was 76% while that of BamHl RFLP was 100%. BamHl RFLP was highly discriminative so as to distinguish unrelated isolâtes of close lineage. However,...

IS901 RFLP analysis of 36 Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium (MAA) isolates from 15 pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) and two goshawks (Accipiter gentilis) from four pheasant farms was performed. Using this method, six different IS901 RFLP types (E, F, G, M, Q, and V) were identified. The distribution of IS901 RFLP profiles was tightly linked to individual flocks. Matching IS901 RFLP profiles obser...

Callipyge (CLPG) is a candidate gene with significant effect on meat quality and growth in sheep. The aim of this study was to investigate the polymorphism CLPG Akkaraman breed. In study, DNAs obtained from blood samples 50 sheep used as material. CLPG/Faq1 examined all individuals using method PCR-RFLP. Only A allele AA genotype were detected after PCR-RFLP procedure. This first which investig...

A total of 95 isolates, belonging to 33 species of five dermatophyte genera, i.e. Arthroderma (15 species), Chrysosporium (two), Epidermophyton (one), Microsporum (three) and Trichophyton (12), were studied using internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2)-PCR-RFLP analysis (ITS2-RFLP), consisting of amplification of the ITS2 region, restriction digestion with BstUI (CG/CG) and restriction fragment le...

Objective(s): Staphylococcus aureus is an important bacterial pathogen responsible for a variety numbers of nosocomial and community acquired infections. Biofilm formation is regarded as an important factor in the establishment of S. aureus infection. The contribution of the genetic background of S. aureus to biofilm formation is poorly understood. The aim of the present work was to genotype S....

Introduction: The most common cutaneous fungal infections are caused by dermatophyte fungi such as Microsporum, Trichophyton, and Epidermophyton. In this study, the epidemiologic trends predominant organisms causing dermatophytosis in Urmia, Northwest Iran, were identified.Aims objectives: To get better perception of distribution authors studied identification isolated dermatophytes from human ...

background: to identify the fasciolid species by morphometric and molecular methods in zanjan, north­west of iran. methods : adult fasciola worms (n=584) were obtained from cattle and sheep in zanjan slaughterhouse in 2007. living flukes were washed, then worms' images were taken by 3ccd camera and finally apical zone of each worm was obtained. morphometric values such as body length, body widt...
