Five common tetracycline resistance genes tet(A), tet(B), tet(M), tet(O) and tet(S) were studied by polymerase chain reaction in 100 bacteria isolated from Iranian fish farms. In the antibiogram test most of the bacteria were either intermediately or completely resistant to tetracycline. Nine isolates out of 46 Aeromonas spp. contained eithe...

background the importance of sialic acid binding adhesin (saba) as a new outer membrane protein in gastroduodenal diseases has been recognized. the prevalence rate of saba gene varies in different geographic areas. objectives the aim of this study was to determine the frequency of saba gene in helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) strains isolated from different clinical outcomes in tehran, iran. pat...

abstractbackground and objective: satellite cells are muscle stem cells that enter cycle cells due to myotrauma. among activation and proliferation indices of these cells is increase of myod gene expression. but these are contradiction in response of this gene to resistance exercise in fast and slow fibers. thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a single bout of resistance ex...

The aim of the present study was to screen the genotype profile of bovine kappa-casein gene among Frieswal (HF × Sahiwal) crossbred cattle developed in India. A total number of two hundred Frieswal cows were evaluated for HinfI RFLP based genotyping of kappa-casein gene. We observed that only two genotypes (AA and AB) exist among the studied population with the genotype frequency of 0.58 (n=117...

background and objectives : economic constraint of diseases arising from salmonella typhimurium causes the study of this zoonotic organism more important. most studies on identification and characterization of s. typhimurium are conducted at dna level. flagellin genes (flic and fljb genes encoding phase-1 and phase-2 flagella, respectively) are useful as a model system for studying genetic diff...

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is a fatal infectious neurodegenerative disease in cattle, characterized by the accumulation of an abnormal, proteaseresistant prion protein (PrPSc) in the brain. BSE is similar to scrapie in sheep and goats and Creuzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans. Susceptibility in cattle hasbeen shown to be under the influence of two polymorphic locations, which are...
