27 28 Culturing of bacteria from bronchial secretions in respiratory patients has low 29 sensitivity and does not allow for complete assessment of microbial diversity across the 30 different bronchial compartments. In addition, a significant number of clinical studies 31 are based on sputum samples and it is not known to what extent they describe the real 32 diversity of the mucosa. In order to...

Infectious endocarditis is an infrequent pathology but with a very significant morbidity and mortality context. The MostCommon responsible germs are streptococci staphylococci.Neisseria strain of bacteria characterized by several subgroups such as gram-negative diplococci which present in the respiratory tract generally harmless other Neisseria gonorrhoeae known to be pathogens involved patholo...

Bacterial vaginosis or non-specific vaginitis describes the disease caused by a change in the normal Flora of the vagina, which leads to the elimination of Lactobacilli, generating hydrogen peroxide and excess growth of bacteria, particularly anaerobic bacteria. This disease is the most prevalent infection of the female genital tract, and the rate of frequency of anaerobic bacteria, specificall...

lack of vaccination and modern health care facilities in many countries including iran let meningococcemia to remain as a serious challenging disorder especially among children and in spite of improved diagnosis and earlier treatment its prognosis is still dismal. this study describes 68 cases (54.4% male) of proved meningococcemia hospitalized since 1992 up to the end of 2002 in children medic...

conclusions our data has provided baseline information about epidemiologic aspects of oral mucosal lesions which can be valuable in organized national program targeting on oral health and hygiene in the society. results the prevalence of mucosal lesions in our study was 19.4%. our data demonstrated higher prevalence of oral mucosal lesions in males and young adults (30-40 years). the most commo...

conclusions these results show the usefulness of proteome analysis in successful identification of the common proteins between n. lactamica strains and nmb. this proteomics analysis is the starting point in the path of knowledge development about whole proteome profiles of n. lactamica strains. objectives the main aims of this study were to determine whole proteome profiles of n. lactamica stra...

Neisseria lactamica is a commensal bacteria that colonizes the human upper respiratory tract mucosa during early childhood. In contrast to the closely related opportunistic pathogen Neisseria meningitidis, there is an absence of adaptive cell-mediated immunity to N. lactamica during the peak age of carriage. Instead, outer membrane vesicles derived from N. lactamica mediate a B cell-dependent p...
