lactobacilli, like the other gut commensal bacteria, are well known for their use in poultry nutrition and for their probiotic properties. however, little is known about their interaction with the gastro-intestinal tract when administered in vivo. to specifically monitor the passage of lactobacilli after administered in hatchery, lactobacillus plantarum was transformed with the recombinant vect...

results our study showed that the sensitivity and specificity of taqman real time pcr was 96% and 95% respectively. these values were 89% and 90, 38% and 100%, 6% and 100% for pcr, culture and microscopy, respectively. conclusions our study showed that sensitivity of taqman real time pcr was higher that pcr, culture and microscopy but specificity of culture and microscopy was more than pcr and ...

The form and function of actin in the nucleus have been enigmatic for over 30 years. Recently actin has been assigned numerous functional roles in the nucleus, but its form remains a mystery. The intricate relationship between actin form and function in the cytoplasm implies that understanding the structural properties of nuclear actin is elementary to fully understanding its function. In this ...

A model of two interacting polymer chains has been proposed to study the effect of penetration of one chain in to the other. We show that small chain penetrates more in comparison to the long chain. We also find a condition in which both chains cannot grow on their own (or polymerize) but can grow (polymerize) in zipped form.

dear editor-in-chief we read with interest the study by khazaei et al. (1) in which the authors have nicely concluded that pcr is more sensitive test than ziehl-neelsen staining and histo-pathological examination for the diagnosis of tuberculosis (tb). they have rightly pointed to use pcr, selectively, in acidfast bacilli negative paucibacillary forms of tb. however, we intend to highlight few ...
