results the results showed that the chimeric recombinant protein induced strong humoral response as well as protection against live oral challenges using e. coli o157:h7. conclusions the rit could reduce bacterial shedding effectively. objectives the eae gene encoded intimin protein which is essential for colonization of the mucosa and a/e lesions formation by docking to the tir. materials and ...

this study was carried out to determine the prevalence of foodborne pathogens, escherichia coli, e. coli o157:h7, listeria monocytogenes and campylobacter spp. on slaughtered cattle in isfahan, iran. a total of 203 cattle carcasses were sampled by surface section of neck meat taken immediately after slaughter and analyzed using microbiological examinations. suspected colonies to e. coli o157:h7...

shiga toxin-producing escherichia coli (stec) are food-borne pathogens primarily associated with the consumption of contaminated ground beef and are an important food safety concern worldwide. stec has been found to produce a family of related cytotoxins known as shiga toxins (stxs). shiga toxins have been classified into two major classes, stx1 and stx2. a single strains of stec can produce st...

conclusions etec and eaggec were the most detected e. coli among stool and uti samples, emphasizing the need to dedicate more health care attention to this group. in addition, our phylogenetic study may be helpful in figuring out the infection origin and for epidemiological studies. nonetheless, more research studies with larger sample sizes are suggested for confirming our results. results ove...

background: in the recent years, there has been an increasing interest in secretory production of recombinant proteins, due to its various advantages compared with intracellular expression. signal peptides play a critical role in prosperous secretion of recombinant proteins. accordingly, different signal peptides have been assessed for their ability to produce secretory proteins by trial-and-er...

conclusions: e. coli herb-resistance plasmid can replicate and be expressed in s. aureus. results: the identified 45 kb herb-resistance plasmid could be transferred from e. coli cp9 isolates to e. coli dh5α. as a consequence e. coli dh5α transconjugant mic increased from 0.0125 g/ml to 0.25 g/ml. the plasmid was easily transferred from e. coli cp9 strain to s. aureus rn450rf with a mean transfe...

background: targeting of cd20 antigen with monoclonal antibodies has become the mainstay in the treatment of non-hodgkin's lymphomas and immunotherapeutic depletion of malignant b cells. accessibility of antigen is one of the crucial factors in development of monoclonal antibodies against this antigen. one major problem in expression of full length cd20 is aggregation and misfolding. there...
