The present study was designed to investigate the potential of Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy to identify Trueperella (T.) pyogenes isolated from bovine clinical mastitis. FT-IR spectroscopy was applied to 57 isolates obtained from 55 cows in a period from 2009 to 2012. Prior to FT-IR spectroscopy these isolates were identified by phenotypic and genotypic properties, also inclu...

The FT-IR, FT-Raman and SERS Spectra of 1-Chloro 4-Flurobenzene (C6H4CLF) have been recorded in the range 4000-400cm -1 , the optimized geometry,frequency and intensity of the vibrtional bands of C6H4CLFhave been obtained by DFT levels of theory with complete relaxation in the 6-311**G basis sets. A complete vibrational assignment, aided by the theoretical frequency analysis, has been proposed....

Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats' normal and abnormal pancreatic tissues are determined directly by attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FT-IR) spectroscopy method. In order to diagnose earlier stage of SD rats pancreatic cancer rate with FT-IR, a novel method of extraction of FT-IR feature using discrete wavelet transformation (DWT) analysis and classification with the probabil...

BACKGROUND Kidney stones are a common illness with multifactorial etiopathogenesis. The determination of crystalline and molecular composition and the quantification of all stone components are important to establish the etiology of stones disease but it is often laborious to obtain using the chemical method. The aim of this paper is to compare chemical spot test with FT-IR spectroscopy, for a ...

copper (cu) is an essential trace element involved in normal reproduction but its over-exposure may produce some detrimental effects. the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of purslane on copper sulfate poisoning on liver structures changes. twenty eight wistar rats were randomly allocated to four treatment groups. group i) control, group ii) copper sulfate (200 mg/kg bw were appl...

AIMS Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) was used to analyse a selection of Acinetobacter isolates in order to determine if this approach could discriminate readily between the known genomic species of this genus and environmental isolates from activated sludge. METHODS AND RESULTS FT-IR spectroscopy is a rapid whole-organism fingerprinting method, typically taking only 10 s per sample, and ge...

Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and chemometric techniques were used to discriminate five closely related Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis phage types, phage type 1 (PT1), PT1b, PT4b, PT6, and PT6a. Intact cells and outer membrane protein (OMP) extracts from bacterial cell membranes were subjected to FT-IR analysis in transmittance mode. Spectra were collected over a wav...
