In the present study, the effect of the high and low virulence S. iniae strains on oxidative activity and cytotoxic effects of trout spleen macrophages were studied. Spleen macrophages were collected from trout. Luminol was used as chemiluminigenic probe. Phorbolmyristate acetate (PMA) also was used as positive control activating agent of respiratory burst and significantly stimulated pr...

Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) are responsible for wide ranges of extra-intestinal diseases in poultry including colibacillosis, cellulitis, coligranuloma and yolk sac infection. Numbers of virulence are considered important in the pathogenicity of these diseases. The aims of the present study were phylogenetic typing and virulence genes detection in Escherichia coli </em...

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...

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 ...
