An Ehrlichia canis isolate was obtained from an naturally infected dog exhibiting clinical signs of ehrlichiosis in São Paulo Municipality, state of São Paulo, Brazil. The isolate was characterized by PCR and DNA sequencing of portions of the ehrlichial genes dsb, 16SrRNA, and p28. Partial dsb and 16S rRNA sequences were identical to three and five other E. canis strains, respectively, from dif...

extract of BP-3 strain was found to have significant inhibitory effect on the test strains viz: E.coli (MTCC 40), Staphlococcus aureus (MTCC87),Proteus vulgaris(MTCC426), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MTCC 424). Identification of the bacteria was carried out using biochemical tests, 16SrRNA sequencing and sequences submitted to the NCBI GenBank Maryland USA and awarded with the accession number H...

An indigenous fungal strain was isolated from Indian Kolar Gold Field mine soil. The isolate was heterothallic, branched septate, deeply floccose, fast-growing, dull green with white background conidial columnar mycelium from Aspergillus section Fumigati. Diverse metabolic patterns of the isolate exhibit high metal, thermal resistance which grews well from 28 ± 1 degrees C to 37 degrees C and p...

The objective of the present study was to isolate and identify Clostridium chauvoei from swab (n=750) and tissue (n=50) samples from cattle suspected for black quarter in six districts belonging to different climatic zones (Punjab, Pakistan). Conventional culture methods showed 192(25.6%) and 19(38%) positive from swab and tissues respectively for this bacterium. These bacterial isolates were f...

An obligate intracellular bacterium was isolated from urine samples from 7 (3.5%) of 202 fruit bats (Eonycteris spelaea) in peninsular Malaysia. The bacterium produced large membrane-bound inclusions in human, simian, and rodent cell lines, including epithelial, fibroblastlike, and lymphoid cells. Thin-section electron microscopy showed reticulate bodies dividing by binary fission and elementar...
