background   and   objectives:    the   toxin   co-regulated   pilus   a   (tcpa)   has   been   described   as   a   criti- cal  pathogenicity  factor  of   vibrio  cholerae .  tcpa  is  a  candidate  for  making  subunit  vaccine  against  chol- era.  the  aim  of  this  study  was  to  produce  a  candidate  vaccine  by  expressing  recombinant  tcpa  in   e.  coli . materials and methods: i...

background: enterotoxigenic escherichia coli (etec) strains are the major causes of diarrheal disease in humans and animals. colonization factors and enterotoxins are the major virulence factors in etec pathogenesis. for the broad-spectrum protection against etec, one could focus on colonization factors and non-toxic heat labile as a vaccine candidate. methods: a fusion protein is composed of a...

Calotropis procera Linn a wild growing plant of Asclepiadaecae family is known to possess multifarious medicinal properties. Total 80 non repetitive clinical E. coli strains recovered during 7 month, a...

The objective of the present research was to develop cinnamon oil nanoemulsions using soy protein isolate and lecithin as food grade natural emulsifiers. For this purpose, stable cinnamon oil nanoemulsion (droplet diameter of 141.2 nm) prepared by ultrasonic emulsification. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of free and nanoemulsified cin...

Background: The most important strategy of the immune system against pathogens is producing active oxygen intermediates with sidelong consequence of oxidative stress induction in body. Probiotics and selenium have recently been proven to be powerful antioxidants that help boost the immune system. Hence, the aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant effects of Sac...
