Sequence-Based Typing of Human Blood Groups

Multispacer typing technique for sequence-based typing of Bartonella quintana.

Bartonella quintana is a worldwide fastidious bacterium of the Alphaproteobacteria responsible for bacillary angiomatosis, trench fever, chronic lymphadenopathy, and culture-negative endocarditis. The recent genome sequencing of a B. quintana isolate allowed us to propose a genome-wide sequence-based typing method. To ensure sequence discrimination based on highly polymorphic areas, we amplifie...

Multilocus Sequence Typing for Interpreting Blood Isolates of Staphylococcus epidermidis

Staphylococcus epidermidis is an important cause of nosocomial infection and bacteremia. It is also a common contaminant of blood cultures and, as a result, there is frequently uncertainty as to its diagnostic significance when recovered in the clinical laboratory. One molecular strategy that might be of value in clarifying the interpretation of S. epidermidis identified in blood culture is mul...

a brief history of human blood groups.

the evolution of human blood groups, without doubt, has a history as old as man himself. there are at least three hypotheses about the emergence and mutation of human blood groups. global distribution pattern of blood groups depends on various environmental factors, such as disease, climate, altitude, humidity etc. in this survey, the collection of main blood groups abo and rh, along with some ...

Effects of Mobile Phone Radiation on Surface Tension and Volume Flow Rate of Human Blood groups

Introduction: The great use of electrical appliances in different life applications is one of the most obvious concerns because of its possible health drawbacks. These investigation reports results of electromagnetic field effect emitted from mobile phones on some biophysical parameters of human blood belonging to blood groups A, B, AB & O collected from the normal persons. The parameters obser...
