objective: helicobacter pylori is a spiral, microaerophilic gram negative bacterium, that multiplies and causes infection in human gastric mucosal layer. h.pylori infection, followed by destruction of gastric epithelial tissue, leads to gastric chronic inflammation, which can cause gastric and peptic ulcers. new approaches have focused on using specific treatments, such as immunotherapy, to era...

A urease-deficient derivative of Streptococcus salivarius 57.I was constructed by allelic exchange at the ureC locus. The wild-type strain was protected against acid killing through hydrolysis of physiologically relevant concentrations of urea, whereas the mutant was not. Also, S. salivarius could use urea as a source of nitrogen for growth exclusively through a urease-dependent pathway.

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...

The current study was aimed to investigate the prevalence of ureC, rsbA, zapA and mrpA virulence genes using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in Proteus spp. isolated from 5 commercially popular species of pet turtles and comparison of the mrpA gene sequences of Proteus mirabilis isolates with human clinical isolates. A total of 24 isolates in pet turtles were identified, comprised of P. mirabil...

abstract: introduction & objective: helicobacter pylori are among the important pathogens responsible for chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer and gastric cancer. the present study aimed to comparatively evaluate pcr and rut methods for detection of h. pylori and determination of the prevalence of the cagapositive helicobacter pylori strains in shahrekord. materials & methods: this is a molecular ep...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is cause of several gastrointestinal diseases in humans. Virulence genes of H. pylori are associated with severity of disease and vary geographically. The aim of present study was to detect H. pylori in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues and further investigate prevalence of babA2, cagA, iceA1, iceA2, vacA s1/s2 an...
