There are three dominant contributing factors that distort short tandem repeat profile measurements, two of which, stutter and variations in the allelic peak heights, have been described extensively. Here we characterise the remaining component, baseline noise. A probabilistic characterisation of the non-allelic noise peaks is not only inherently useful for statistical inference but is also sig...

The use of antibiotic growth promoter as a feed additive for animals in Indonesia has been prohibited and regulated law, starting from January 1, 2018. Alternative replacement was investigatedand introduced to farms such probiotic. commonly used probiotic the genus Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium , Bacillus. aim this study identify Lactobacillus strains isolates Jawa Super chicken excreta.

Leclercia adecarboxylata is a recently acknowledged emerging pathogen. It member of the Enterobacterals family, formerly thought to be genus Escherichia. Isolation was reported from various animal and environmental specimens. However, it rarely causes infection in humans, true frequency unknown or underestimated. showed an ascending resistance grade pan-sensitive Carbapenem-resistant due its ab...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate and assess the plant growth promoting characteristics and diversity of major tef rhizosphere isolates from central Ethiopia. A total of 162 bacteria were isolated from rhizosphere of tef [Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter] and characterized. While screening using some plant growth promoting characteristics, only about sixty six of the isolates were found t...

Abstract Introduction Universally, in microbiological diagnostics the detection of live bacteria is essential. Rapid identification pathogens enables appropriate remedial measures to be taken. The many simultaneously facilitates determination characteristics accompanying microbiota and/or complexity a given environment. Material and Methods effectiveness VITEK2 Compact automated microbial syste...

Arterial velocity pulse index (AVI) and arterial pressure-volume index (API), new indicators of arterial stiffness, are risk factors for the development of cardiovascular disease. Regular aerobic exercise decreases arterial stiffness. In fact, pulse wave velocity (PWV), index of arterial stiffness, is lower in endurance-trained than in untrained young adults. However, the effect of regular aero...

One hundred and fifty-one Cryptococcus neoformans strains isolated from AIDS patients in Brazil and maintained in the Adolfo Lutz Institute (São Paulo, Brazil) were tested for phospholipase, protease and other extracellular enzymatic activities and their serotypes determined. Production of extracellular phospholipase and protease was tested by the agar plate methods. Determination of extracellu...

Background: Very few studies have been carried out to comprehensively characterize Aeromonas isolates. This study reports biochemical and enzymatic characterization of 60 isolates belonging to seven Aeromonas species. Methods: Seven types of API (Analytab Production Incorporation, France) strips (API 20 E, API 20 NE, Rapid ID 32 E, API 50 CH, ID 32 GN, ID 32 C, Rapid ID 32 A) were used for the ...

Thirty-three strains of bacteria (30 Enterobacteriaceae and one strain each of Aeromonas formicans, A. hydrophila, and Plesiomonas shigelloides) were tested three times in each of 27 conventional tests and in the API, Enterotube, and Pathotec systems. The results obtained were analysed for test reproducibility within each kit, correlation of the kit tests with the equivalent conventional media,...

BACKGROUND  Diagnosis of Ebola virus (EBOV) disease (EVD) requires laboratory testing. METHODS  The RealStar Filovirus Screen reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) kit and the derived RealStar Zaire Ebolavirus RT-PCR kit were validated using in vitro transcripts, supernatant of infected cell cultures, and clinical specimens from patients with EVD. RESULTS  The Filovirus S...
