pasteurella multocida is known as one of the main organisms causing pneumonia in sheep. as immunity in pasteurellosis is serogroup specific, identification of prevalent capsular group among endemic areas is essential. the aim of this study was to molecular identification and determine of the capsular type of the p. multocida strains isolated from sheep pneumonia in iran. bacteriological and bio...

background and objectives: to investigate coagulase gene polymorphisms of mrsa and mssa isolates from shiraz teaching hospitals from 2011 to 2012. materials and methods: a total of 302 isolates of staphylococcus aureus were collected from clinical specimens in three major teaching hospitals and confirmed on the basis of morphological characteristics and biochemical tests. the isolates were subj...

background and objectives: bacillus anthracis is one of the most homogenous bacteria ever described. bacillus anthracis 17jb is a laboratory strain. it is broadly used as a challenge strain in guinea pigs for potency test of anthrax vaccine. material and methods: this work describes genetic characterization of b. anthracis 17 jb strain using the snps and mlva genotyping. results and conclusion:...

conclusions sequence and structural diversity of the 3'utr variable region and poly u/uc region found in the local isolates indicate specificity in the regulating elements of 3'utr that might be associated with differential replication efficacy of the hcv pakistani isolates. the study necessitates functional characterization of these regulating elements to elucidate variable viral eff...

conclusions the results of this study showed that pcr–rflp technique was a fast and applicable method especially for separation, detection and differentiation between species of b. melitensis and b. abortus biovars in blood sample. also the presented data showed that b. melitensis biovar 1 was the prevalence biovar. background brucella is an intracellular parasite of the disease brucellosis thr...

OBJECTIVES The primary objective was to investigate the effects of continuous typing on median nerve changes at the carpal tunnel region at two different keyboard slopes (0° and 20°). The secondary objective was to investigate the differences in wrist kinematics and the changes in wrist anthropometric measurements when typing at the two different keyboard slopes. METHODS Fifteen healthy right...

Fast 10 Finger Typing is a blind typing method which means we only value what are going to type and use our instincts without looking at the keyboard. This technique used optimize function of fingers eyes do not get tired easily because they focus on typed writing. has an arrangement placing so that all can in typing. finger exercise will apply fast method, namely by using master method.This se...

An assessment of three simple methods of typing Proteus strains is described. The methods chosen were biochemical typing, bacteriocine typing, and typing by means of the Dienes phenomenon. Dienes typing was deemed to be superior to biochemical typing and bacteriocine typing.A brief discussion on the relationship between the Dienes phenomenon and bacteriocine production is appended.

background and objective: shigella species belong to the family enterobacteriaceae, which cause dysentery with abdominal pain and tenesmus in human. our country is one of the endemic and occasional epidemic areas of the disease. in the present study, repetitive extragenic palindromic polymerase chain reaction (rep-pcr) technique that has high differentiation and specificity power compared to ph...
