mycoplasma gallisepticum is the most important and infectious mycoplasmosis. it is caused lots of economic losses for poultry's industry of iran. the target of this study is comparison of culture and nested pcr techniques to detect mycoplasma gallisepticum infection of chicken’s from industrial farms in kerman province of iran. 88 isolates received from industrial farms of kerman province of ir...

Sensitivity and specificity are important for tests used to defect Helicobacter pylori infection from gastric biopsy specimens. Molecular methods, such as PCR and nested PCR, are sensitive methods for H. pylori detection. The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of PCR and nested PCR compared to culture, the rapid urease test (RUT) and histology for the diagnosis of H. pylori...

conclusions in this study, snpcr was specific and more sensitive than the chromogenic medium chromagar™ candida for the detection of candida spp. insofar as it failed to identify only a few isolates. materials and methods we used snpcr with universal and species-specific primers to detect candida species in the culture of clinical isolates. by using universal primers, we carried out the amplifi...

pneumocystis jirovecii causes pneumocystis pneumonia (pcp) in immunocompromised patients with a high rate of morbidity and mortality. colonization with this fungus may stimulate pulmonary inflammation or lead to pcp in susceptible patients. the epidemiology of this infection and routs of its transmission has poorly studied in iran. we examined pneumosystis colonization in patients with various ...

leptospirosis is a zoonosis of worldwide distribution, caused by leptospira interrogans and is considered as an emerging global public health problem. transmission usually results from direct or indirect exposure to the urine or other body fluids of leptospiruric animals which may become a source of infection for human or other animals. having a humid climate with plenty of annual rainfall, gui...
