background in recent decades, biological properties of biosurfactants, particularly glycolipids, including antimicrobial, antifungal, and anti-cellular effects have been projected in many research studies. the unique advantages of these compounds in terms of production and environment made them important as antimicrobial agents. objectives this study aims to evaluate probable antibacterial and ...

BACKGROUND Wilson's disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive disorder of copper metabolism caused by ATP7B pathogenic mutations. The symptoms of WD can be effectively prevented if the affected individuals are identified and intervened early. However, clinical utility of this molecular analysis is challenging due to hundreds of variants with various clinical effects in the gene. Here, we aim to de...

In  this  reaserch,  photocatalyst  titanium  dioxide  was  doped  with silver  and modified  by  polyethylene  glycol  by  sol  gel method  and the  samples  were  characterized  by  X-ray  diffraction  (XRD)  and scanning  electron  microscopy  (SEM).  The  purpose  of  the  present study  was  to  evaluate  the  photocatalytic  bactericidal  effects  of prepared nanocomposite on human p...

leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease with global distribution that caused by pathogenic spirochetes of the genus leptospira. accurate diagnosis for differentiation of leptospirosis from other pyrogenic infections prevailing in the same locality and is imperative for proper treatment. therefore a molecular diagnostic test with high specificity and sensitivity such as pcr is essential. gene encodi...

conclusion according to our findings, it is recommended to use ferula gummosa extract, as a herbal alternative treatment, in more investigations to prove its treatment effects on infections. objective ferula gummosa grows as a native plant in different parts of iran and has been used for treatment of some infections such as uti since ancient times. present study is planned to show the antibacte...

aim :  the aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro inhibitory effect of probiotic e.coli nissle 1917 (ecn) strain against pathogenic bacteria isolated from patients with diarrhea. background : probiotics are viable microorganisms that are shown to have beneficial effects on human health. ecn is a typical example of probiotics; however, there are few reports of it being administered fo...

conclusions the results showed that some patients were probably contaminated with nonbacterial and nonparasitic agents. all the parasitic isolates were resistant to most antibiotics. therefore determination of microbial isolates and antibiotic susceptibility is necessary before treatment procedures. results of 2376 patients, 466 (19.6%) were contaminated with pathogenic bacteria or protozoa.the...

background: masske is a traditional iranian butter made from yoghurt. the first aim of this study was to isolate and identify the nonlactic pathogenic microflora by culture and molecular methods of identification, and the second purpose was to identify genetic similarity of the isolated bacteria in masske. materials and methods: in order to detect pathogenic dominant indicator microorganisms, a...

Nowadays, uncontrolled and frequent use of antibiotics may cause emergence of microbial resistanceamong pathogenic agents. Therefore, the use of new synthetic and natural antimicrobial compounds isinevitable. One source of natural compounds in this respect comes from plants. The purpose of this study was to examine the antibacterial effects of peel extracts from sour and sweet pomegranate. Meth...
