Introduction: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), is a bacterium responsible for upper gastrointestinal tract diseases. The 16s rRNA is a common H. pylori gene which are usually preferred for diagnosis purpose. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and abundance of 16s rRNA in fecal samples and also evaluate correlation between the level of 16s rRNA and activities of the cytokine...

background: there is a conserved portion in the 16s rrna gene of bacteria which can be amplified by the universal pcr method. this fragment is 996 bp in length. in this method, only one set of universal primers is used for the amplification of the conserved region of the 16s rrna gene, in common bacterial pathogens. therefore, using the universal pcr method, these bacteria are detectable only b...

background and objectives: anaplasma phagocytophilum is a zoonotic, tick borne rickettsial pathogen. a. phagocytophilum has been detected in north america, europe, africa and asia by molecular methods. in iran we have little information about the distribution of this agent in human and animals. materials and methods: from march 2007 to july 2007, one hundred and fifty blood samples and correspo...

background: a. bovis and a. phagocytophilium are leukocytotropic agents of bovine anaplasmosis. they are obligate intracellular bacteria that can infect and cause anaplasmosis in human and animals. therefore, this study was carried out to detect a. bovis and a. phagocytophilum in naturally infected dairy cattle in isfahan using molecular techniques. materials and methods: in this study a total ...

anaplasma bovis is a leukocytotropic agent of bovine anaplasmosis and there is no available information about molecular study on this agent in cattle of iran. in this study a total 150 cattle blood samples were collected from central part of iran. the presence of a. bovis examined using light microscopic detection and species-specific nested polymerase chain reaction (nested-pcr) based on 16s r...

in this study, to increase information about the relationship between caprine and ovine isolates of pasteurella multocida, 16s rrna gene sequencing of 9 goats (5) and sheep (4) isolates were investigated. also, capsular type and toxagene presentation was studied in this paper. all isolates, except one, belong to capsular type a, and toxa+ strain distributed among strains were isolated from both...

Because of technological limitations, the primer and amplification biases in targeted sequencing of 16S rRNA genes have veiled the true microbial diversity underlying environmental samples. However, the protocol of metagenomic shotgun sequencing provides 16S rRNA gene fragment data with natural immunity against the biases raised during priming and thus the potential of uncovering the true struc...

Genomic analysis has revealed heterogeneity among bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequences within a single species; yet the cause(s) remains uncertain. Generalized transducing bacteriophages have recently gained recognition for their abundance as well as their ability to affect lateral gene transfer and to harbor bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequences. Here, we demonstrate the ability of broad-host-range, ...
