Objective(s) In addition to several molecular methods and in particular 16S rDNA analysis, the application of a more discriminatory genetic marker, i.e., 16S-23S internal transcribed spacer gene sequence has had a great impact on identification and classification of mycobacteria. In the current study we aimed to apply this sequencing power to conclusive identification of some Iranian clinical ...

The available treatment modalities for hypertrophic scars and keloids have very little success. Surgical treatment of these lesions without adjuvant therapy is also associated with high recurrence rate. Hypertrophic scars and keloids are the results of a series of cellular and molecular changes which their identification can guide us toward new treatment modalities which may decrease the ...

abstract background and objective: a high level of homogeneity observed within all bacteria in the mycobacterium tuberculosis complex makes a property that seriously challenges traditional biochemical-based identification methods of these pathogens in the laboratory. the work presented here was conducted to characterize mycobacterium tuberculosis complex isolates in golestan, northern iran. mat...

shenavar  o. & mostowfizadeh-ghalamfarsa  r. 2015. computerized interactive keys for identification of fungi. plant pathology science 4(2):41-52 accurate identification of fungi and fungus-like organisms is one of the most important steps for finding an approach to employ or control them. nevertheless, this process is usually laborious and slow. application of interactive keys is one of the way...

Background: Listeria monocytogenes is a Gram-positive and facultative anaerobic food-borne bacterium which is capable of intra and extra cellular growth. L. monocytogenes usually can exist on different surfaces and instruments at production and processing sites of food products with animal origin. In Iran, the consumption of burger has increased recently, but its safety is still of great concer...
