conclusions the high prevalence of oxa β-lactamase and high genetic diversity of p. aeruginosa indicated that the resistance of p. aeruginosa might be expanding in our studied hospitals. background pseudomonas aeruginosa is main bacterial pathogen accountable for nosocomial infections. furthermore, it could potentially become resistant to β-lactams, aminoglycosides and fluoroquinolones antibiot...

although mycoplasma equigenitalium has been implicated in equine reproductive problems, its prevalence is largely unexplored due to the lack of specific diagnostic tests. to address this limitation, the authors developed and optimized species-specific primer pairs that target m. eguigenitalium rpob (rna polymerase b subunit) gene sequences. the specificity of the pcr assay developed in this stu...

background and objective: human papillomavirus (hpv) is one of the possible etiologic factors  in development of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (escc). in this study we aimed to study the  role of hpv in escc. patients and methods:in this study, 140 cases of escc were analyzed for the hpv dna by  polymerase chain reaction (pcr) using gp5+/gp6+ primers for l1 open reading frame (orf) to  am...
