aim : we aimed to develop a multiplex pcr assay for specific detection of epec and ehec pathotypes based on specific marker genes. background : about 2.5 million infant’s morbidity in developing countries occurs by e.coli pathotypes because of diarrhea and intestinal diseases. the traditional phenotypic methods are time consuming and sometimes detection and differentiation of the pathotypes are...

conclusions in this study, the optimized truncated orf2 protein was expressed in e. coli successfully and the highly purified protein was obtained, which can be a potential vaccine candidate and as an antigen in elisa to diagnose hev infections. results the subcloning was confirmed by pcr, restriction enzyme digestion, and dna sequencing of recombinant plasmid pet30a-orf2.2. the results obtaine...

conclusions our study indicated a high frequency of cotrimoxazole resistance gene in e. coli isolates from ilam and tehran (milad) hospitals, and sul genes had a major role in cotrimoxazole resistance of these isolates. materials and methods one-hundred and forty-four e. coli isolates were identified during march 2007 to april 2012 at ilam hospitals and milad (tehran) hospital. antibiotic susce...

conclusions the β-lactamase disk test is appropriately sensitive to detect esbls in mdr isolates of e. coli. background most urinary tract infections (utis) are caused by escherichia coli (e. coli) species. due to infections outbreaks of e. coli strains with multiple mechanisms of resistance to β-lactam antibiotics, the sensitivity of confirmatory tests to detect the extended spectrum β-lactama...

familial adenomatous polyposis (fap) is a hereditary autosomal dominant cancer syndrome, results from germ line mutation or deletion of the adenomatous polyposis coli (apc) gene on chromosome 5q21. patients with fap suffer from multiple polyps mainly at the colorectal region as well as other parts of the gastrointestinal tract, which has propensity to transform into carcinoma. fap has also been...

background: escherichia coli is one of the most important pathogens which could be transmitted by milk. the main aim of the present study was to assess risk factors related to the occurrence of e. coli in fluid milk marketed in chittagong, bangladesh. methods: totally, 169 milk samples were collected from different entry points in chittagong, bangladesh; and also, 17 samples were directly colle...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of walnut tree root (juglandaceae) on escherichia coli is resistant to various antibiotics. walnut tree root extract was obtained using a rotary device. 20 cases of e. coli was obtained from urinary tract infections zabul hospital and mic and mbc were determined using dilution in the wells. the results of the study showed that the concentrations ...

in this study, 90 internal organ samples of poultry with symptoms of colibacillosis were obtained from maragheh poultry farms in east azerbaijan, iran. in total, 70 bacterial isolates were confirmed as escherichia coli (e. coli) strains using standard biochemical tests, and antibiotic sensitivity was determined by the disk diffusion method. antibiotics used in this study included ampicillin, pe...

objective(s): enterotoxigenic escherichia coli (etec) strains are one of the primary causes of diarrhea in newborn calves and in humans, pigs, and sheep. igy technology has been identified as a promising alternative to generating a mass amount of specific antibody for use in immunotherapy and immunodiagnostics. the purpose of this study was to produce specific antibody by egg yolk antibody (igy...
