Abstract A potential probiotic strain BXM2 was isolated from naturally fermented honey passion fruit beverage, and identified as Lactiplantibacillus plantarum using 16S rDNA sequence analysis, rpoA gene analysis combined with API bacterial identification method. evaluated for its technological properties, such growth efficiency, gastrointestinal tolerance, antibacterial activity antibiotic resi...

Tributyltin compound TBT released into the aquatic environment is generally degraded by bacteria in water and sediment. The isolation of TBT-degrading bacteria from TBT polluted sediment leads to the indication of specific potential TBT degraders. Two new strains of bacteria designated as B2 and B3 were successfully isolated using glycerol medium containing tributyltin chloride TBTC at 130 μM f...

Nontyphoidal salmonellae are among the most common causes of bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide. They are also notable causes of extraintestinal infections, including bacteremia and vascular infections. Salmonella enterica serotype Choleraesuis is typically associated with invasive infections. We report a patient who had an infected intra-abdominal aortic aneurysm due to an unusually mucoid st...

The API 20 STREP system was used to identify 146 known strains from seven species of the genus Listeria, including both pathogenic and environmental strains. The gallery was easy to use and tests, with the exception of leucine arylamidase (LAP) and starch fermentation (AMD), were simple to interpret. Identification to genus level was satisfactory but differentiation between species was poor. Us...

Gallibacterium, a gram-negative coccobacillus, is a genus of the Pasteurellaceae family with capability of infecting a wide range of avian host species. In 2003, Gallibacterium was selected instead of different previous names. Four different species has been recognized in Gallibacterium genus so far. Members of the genus can cause a wide range of pathological lesions, from upper respiratory tra...

API 20E strip test, the standard for Enterobacteriaceae identification, is not sufficient to discriminate some Yersinia species for some unstable biochemical reactions and the same biochemical profile presented in some species, e.g. Yersinia ferderiksenii and Yersinia intermedia, which need a variety of molecular biology methods as auxiliaries for identification. The 16S rRNA gene is considered...

The health problems caused waterborne pathogens bacteria belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family are aggravated by rise of antimicrobial resistant phenomenon. This has been identified as one biggest global challenges. present study aims make a comparative approach sensitivity/resistance antibiotics 4 Enterobacter cloacae, Citrobacter freundii, Salmonella typhi and Shigella sonnei isolated fr...

In this study, the accuracy of two phenotypic tests, API Staph ID 32 and Staph-Zym, was determined for identification of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) from bovine milk samples in comparison with identification based on DNA-sequencing. A total of 172 CNS isolated from bovine milk were classified into 17 species. The most frequently isolated species based on rpoB sequencing were Staphylo...

This study evaluated the performances of three phenotypic systems (RapID Yeast panel, Vitek2 YST card, and API 20 C AUX) and multiplex PCR for Candida spp. identification. Four-hundred and fifty clinical strains of Candida spp. were identified with the four systems and results of multiplex PCR were compared with those of phenotypic methods. The best correspondence was obtained between Multiplex...

Alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor (API) is one of the acute phase proteins. Following an inflammatory stimuli the concentration of API increased up to four folds. Accompanying these quantitative changes, there is qualitative alterations in the structure of carbohydrate moiety (glycosylation). To determine the alterations in the glycosylation of API in inflammation, API was isolated from the sera of...
