Backgrounds and Aims: Mastitis is a mammalian disease which is considered important due to its potential economic damages. Trueperella pyogenesis is one of the important opportunistic pathogens of the mammary glands of cattle. This bacterium can produce acute mastitis infection in dairy cattle. In fact, this bacterium has several virulence genes which contribute to its pathogenicity. Therefore,...

conclusions by studying the profiles of virulence genes and mlva, it can be concluded that eiec isolates do not have high heterogeneity and are derived from a limited number of clones. background enteroinvasive escherichia coli (eiec) isolates cause dysentery in humans. several virulence factors associated with eiec pathogenesis have been characterized. multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat ...

brucellosis is a widespread zoonotic disease causing considerable economic and public health problems. despite animal vaccination, brucellosis remains endemic in some areas such as iran, especially in the western iranian province of hamadan. we sought to detect some of the most common virulence-associated genes in brucella isolated from human blood cultures to determine the prevalence of some v...

The current study's goal was to identify virulence factors (genes) in P. mirabilis. A total of 25/100 (25%) Proteus mirabilis were obtained from patients with otitis media and identified using culture biochemical characteristics, Polymerase chain reaction (PCR). PCR technique used detect the 16S rRNA gene all factors, including ureC gene, which encodes urease synthesis, flaA flagella fimbriae p...

background and objectives: shiga toxin-producing escherichia coli ( stec) have emerged as human pathogens and contamination of foods of animal origin has been a major public health concern. the aim of the present study was to determine the dissemination of stec in healthy and diarrheic calves in urmia region which is located in west azerbaijan province, iran. materials and methods: in the curre...

Breeding wheat with durable resistance to the fungal pathogen Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt), a major threat cereal production, is challenging due rapid evolution of virulence. Increased durability and broad-spectrum can be achieved by introducing more than one gene, but combining numerous unlinked genes breeding laborious. Here we generate polygenic Pgt transgene cassette five into bre...

Abstract Enteropathogenic E. coli (ETEC) is a common infection in neonatal and nursery pigs resulting significant economic losses from morbidity, mortality, production inefficiencies. Due to the plasticity of its genome, can be particularly challenging manage swine systems. Populations are continuously changing their genome content via multiple methods genomic modification better adapt compete ...

abstract       background and objective: agr is the most important regulatory system for the expression of staphylococcus aureus virulence factors in different conditions. agr acts as a quorum sensing system in this bacterium which is activated by increased cell concentration during the transition from logarithmic growth phase to stationary phase. its role is to upregulate the secretory virulen...

salmonella is one of the most important zoonotic pathogens with many virulence factors playing a major role in its pathogenesis. the aims of this study were to detect spva, int2 and invc virulence genes of different salmonella serotypes isolated from various clinical animal and human sources, and to investigate antibiotic resistance patterns among these serotypes. using a pcr assay, a total of ...
