The Microbact 24E (MB24E) system is a commercial microsystem for the identification of common clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae and non-fermenting Gram negative bacilli, and consists of dehydrated substrates distributed in the wells of microtitre trays. This system was compared with the API20E for the identification of 386 bacterial isolates, which included 284 clinical and 102 environmen...

A 73-year-old man was hospitalized for dyspnea and bilateral ankle edema. During his hospital stay he presented anal hemorrhage and developed a high fever after colonoscopy. A set of aerobic and anaerobic blood culture bottles yielded a pure culture of gram-negative rods, susceptible to all antibiotics tested. The API20E code was 1005133, resulting in a very good identification as Pantoea sp. S...

During 2011-2013, 189 bacteria from four Moroccans regional hospitals were referred to The National Institute of Hygiene (NIH) to achieve phenotyping and genotyping. Galleries Api20E, Api20NE and Api20Sthap (bioMérieux), were used for Biochemical identification and disks distribution method was used for antibiotic susceptibility testing. Genotyping was carried out by molecular biology by search...

Although Mongolia is regarded as one of the possible places of plague radiation, only few data are available from Mongolian Yersinia pestis strains. In this study a total of 100 Mongolian Y. pestis strains isolated from wild mammals and their parasites between the years 1960 and 2007 were analyzed for their phenotype. All strains grew well on selective Cefsulodin-Irgasan-Novobiocin agar and wer...

For a long time it was thought that Bursaphelenchus xylophilus was the only agent of the pine wilt disease. Recently, it was discovered that there are bacteria associated with the nematodes that contribute to the pathogenesis of this disease, mainly through the release of toxins that promote the death of the pines. Among the species most commonly found, are bacteria belonging to the Bacillus, P...

This study was conducted with the aim of applying Bioremediation technology in order to identify efficiency some bacterial isolates for improving quality wastewater discharging from a tank Al-Hindiyah district sewage water treatment station Karbala Governorate. The included use bacteria remove heavy metals (Cd), as 120 were isolated before entering and after leaving under study, it appeared tha...
