conclusions: the results showed that direct fusion of the recombinant plasmids containing the initial and ending parts of the target gene are simple and cost-effective techniques for increasing the length of the fragment and constructing ipc. results: the size of the pcr product was equal to the sum of the first and second fragments. sequencing confirmed the presence of the desire insert (ipc s...

BACKGROUND Staphylococcus aureus is a common and significant pathogen in cystic fibrosis. We sought to determine if quantitative PCR (qPCR) and 16S rRNA gene sequencing could provide a rapid, culture-independent approach to the identification of S. aureus airway infections. METHODS We examined the sensitivity and specificity of two qPCR assays, targeting the femA and 16S rRNA gene, using cult...

Dye׳s residues in textile effluents are hazardous for humans and animals health. Such pollutants can be degraded into non-harmful molecules using biological approaches that are considered cheaper and ecologically safer. Isolated 15 bacterial cultures from soil that could be used in biological system were showed decolorization capacity for Acid Green dye (33.9% to 94.0%) using thin layer chromat...

Introduction and Aim: Proteus mirabilis is a Gram-negative bacterium that responsible for urinary tract infections (UTI), especially catheter-associated UTI. In this study, we investigated whether certain painkillers anti-inflammatory drugs, when used alongside antibiotics, could lower P. growth consequently resistance to antibiotics. Materials Methods: Urine samples (n=119) were collected from...

13 strains of bacteria were isolated from 12 shoes that were worn by children aged 6 to 12 for more than half a year. Through morphological observation, physiological and biochemical measurements, as well as 16SrRNA sequence analysis, the bacteria were identified as follows: Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus subtilis (5 subspecies), Bacillus spore (3 subspecies), Bacillus anthracis, Staphylococc...

Background and aimsNowadays, probiotic microorganisms are given high attention due to their potential for the improvement of animal production productivity. The natural gut microflora poultry can serve as an excellent source optimum strains. Therefore, this study isolated, identified characterized Lactobacillus strains from digestive tract content RIR chicken in Ethiopia.MethodsA total five chi...

OBJECTIVE To develop a rapid and definite diagnostic test of bacterial enteritis caused by pathogenic enterobacteria, the most frequent etiologic agent of infectious enteritis in the world. METHODS A set of conventional PCR assays were applied to detect and identify salmonella, shigella, and E. coli O157:H7 directly from pure culture and fecal samples. The general primers of pathogenic entero...

The current study was aimed at isolating and identifying the halophilic and halotolerant bacteria which can produce mercuric reductase in Gavkhuni wetland in Iran. Moreover, tracking and sequencing merA gene and kinetic properties of mercuric reductase in the selected strain were performed in this study. Soil samples were taken from Gavkhuni wetland and cultured in nutrient agar medium...

BACKGROUND Appropriate methodology for storage biological materials, extraction of DNA, and proper DNA preservation is vital for studies involving genetic analysis of insects, bacteria, and reservoir hosts as well as for molecular diagnostics of pathogens carried by vectors and reservoirs. Here we tried to evaluate the utility of a simple filter paper-based for storage of insects, bacteria, rod...
