The Gulf of Mexico (GoM) is an important source oil for the United States and Mexico. There has been growing interest, particularly after Deepwater Horizon spill, in characterizing fungal diversity GoM identifying isolates use bioremediation petroleum event another spill. Most studies have focused on light crude processes, while heavy (HCO) extra-heavy (EHCO) largely ignored. In this work, we e...

objective: microbiological infection plays vital role in determining the outcome as well as cost and duration of the hospital stay for patients admitted in icu setup. therefore regular surveillance of important pathogens and its related factors are mandatory. the objective of this study was to find out the organisms causes infection in patients admitted in different trauma-surgery, medical and ...

conclusions in conclusion, the data showed that high rate of females harbor these microorganisms in the genital microbiota. this finding suggests the importance of routine gynecological tests, mainly in pregnant females, during the second and third trimesters, and in asymptomatic females under infertility clinical investigation. furthermore, the application of molecular methods is suggested; si...

Four new meroterpenoids, guignardones P-S (1-4), and three known analogues (5-7) were isolated from the endophytic fungal strain Guignardia mangiferae A348. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction. All the isolated compounds were evaluated for their inhibitory effects on SF-268, MCF-7, and NCI-H460 human cancer cell lines. Com...

Background and objectives: The incidence of candiduria caused by Candida spp. has increased in recent years, particularly in hospitalized patients. Candiduria is most commonly caused by Candida albicans; however, an increase in the prevalence of non-albicans species has been observed during last decades. This study aimed at molecular identification of Candida species isolated from candiduria in...

Background: Emerging of microbial resistance, spread life-threatening diseases, and biological control pathogens destroying economically important crops, are serious problems that encourage scientists to search for unusual sources novel compounds with activities. Fungi promising such due their ability produce variety secondary metabolites could be, if truly investigated, the solution currently ...

conclusions an increasing frequency of ndo compared to onychomycosis due to other causative agents has been noticeable over the past few years in iran. this epidemiological data may be useful in the development of preventive and educational strategies. results based on only direct microscopy, onychomycosis was diagnosed in 424 (39.6%) cases, among which 35.8% were caused by dermatophytes, 32.7%...
