Serotype and sulphonamide sensitivity ofmeningococci

A routine method for testing the sulphonamide sensitivity of organisms causing urinary infections.

Several methods are available for testing the sensitivity of organisms to the sulphonamide drugs (Harper and Cawston, 1945; Evans, 1948; Kokko, 1947), but none of them is entirely suitable for clinical use. The main difficu'ty in using a test similar to that for the antibiotics is the presence of sulphonamide-antagonizing substances in routine media. Such substances were first found in peptone ...

Synthesis and Evaluation of Antimicrobial Activity of Metal Complexes of 4-(2'-Hydroxy Phenyl Imino) Phenyl Sulphonamide

       Keeping in view the promising potential of carbonic anhydrase inhibitor based antimicrobials and enhancement of carbonic anhydrase inhibitory activity by metal complexes of sulfonamides, with an aim to develop better antimicrobial agents we have attempted investigation of antimicrobial activity of metal complexes of 4-(2'-hydroxy phenyl imino) phenyl sulphonamide. Sulfanilamide was taken...

Development of an Indirect Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay to Detect Antibodies against Serotype A2013 of Foot and Mouth Disease Virus in Cattle

Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is a contagious animal disease that causes irreparable damage to the economy of countries, including Iran in which this disease is a native one. Among the ways to combat FMD are vaccination and slaughter. Due to the specific situation of Iran, it is not possible to kill infected animals. Therefore, vaccination is the most important way to fight this disease. S...

Serogrouping and sulphonamide sensitivity of Neisseria meningitidis isolates from the south-western Cape.

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP): a new approach for the detection of foot-and-mouth disease virus and its sero-types in Pakistan

Successful disease management requires a rapid and sensitive diagnosis method that can recognize early infection even before the manifestation of its clinical signs. The only available field diagnostic tests for foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) are lateral flow devices, commonly known as chromatographic strips. Low sensitivity and inability to detect FMD virus (FMDV) at the serotype level are limit...
