conclusions this study indicates that satureja khuzestaniea essence has inhibitory effects on the gene expression of antibiotic resistance in bla-oxa-23 that has a high mic. given that this essence has a good inhibitory effect on gene expression in mdr acinetobacter baumannii and bla-oxa-23, the results indicate that it could be used as a natural way to prevent the growth of acinetobacter bauma...

in the current study, molecular typing of 50 erwinia amylovora strains related to different regions in iran was evaluated using multi-locus sequence analysis and variable number of tandem repeats. in the first assay, phylogenetic tree based on partial sequences of recombinase a, sigma factor s and a heat shock protein groel showed significant identity in studied gene sequences. a single nucleot...

Our aim was to identify a suitable microRNA housekeeping gene for real-time PCR analysis of bovine mastitis-related microRNA in milk. We identified , , and as housekeeping gene candidates on the basis of previous Solexa sequencing results. Threshold cycle (CT) values for , , and did not differ between milk from control cows and milk from mastitis-affected cows. NormFinder software identified as...

Do housekeeping genes, which are turned on most of the time in almost every tissue, evolve more slowly than genes that are turned on only at specific developmental times or tissues? Recent large-scale gene expression studies enable us to have a better definition of housekeeping genes and to address the above question in detail. In this study, we examined 1581 human-mouse orthologous gene pairs ...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to use the case an international luxury hotel chain in Hong Kong illustrate general environmentally-friendly practices housekeeping. Six in-depth interviews were conducted with housekeeping department staff evaluate effectiveness Hotel’s environmental sustainability by analysing their benefits and limitations. Results reveal that all informants acknowledged ...

For accurate and reliable gene expression analysis, normalization of gene expression data against housekeeping genes (reference or internal control genes) is required. It is known that commonly used housekeeping genes (e.g. ACTB, GAPDH, HPRT1, and B2M) vary considerably under different experimental conditions and therefore their use for normalization is limited. We performed a meta-analysis of ...
