Chili pepper (Capsicum frutescens L.) is a common commodity used as spice and pharmaceutical uses around the world. However, chili cultivation failure often occurs due to drought exposure. The inoculation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), such Funneliformis mosseae, has potential induce defense against stress through symbiotic association with plant roots. aim this research was investigate...

Dental caries is a disease caused by Streptococcus mutans. The use of chlorhexidine to inhibit bacterial colonization has side effects such as tooth staining and can kill the normal flora when used long term. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) chemical compound in form polyphenols from green tea catechins which have antimicrobial potency microorganism growth biofilm formation. Type Laboratory Expe...

STUDY OBJECTIVE The upper and lower airways are continuous. While upper airway symptoms are common in COPD patients, with accumulating evidence to suggest increased nasal inflammation, the relationships among upper airway, lower airway, and systemic inflammatory indexes have not been studied. We aimed to confirm that there is heightened nasal inflammation in COPD patients, to test the hypothesi...

South American Camelids have an increasing relevance in local economies, worldwide. These animals are bred for their meat, fur and as companion and therapy animals. Thus, their sanitary status should be well-established. According to the OIE (World Organization for Animal Health), respiratory infections mainly produced by Pasteurella spp. have been reported for camelids. It has been stated that...

Background: ECC is one of the most common chronic infectious diseases preschool-aged children (3).Mutans Streptococci (MS) cheif microorganism that causes Saliva a significant factor in thedevelopment teeth decay. have many innate defense molecules take part protection oforal tissues by either direct antimicrobial effect or interference with microbial colonization. These moleculesinclude peptid...

Colonization factor antigens (CFAs) of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) have been classified into several groups based on their distinct antigenicity. We describe here a PCR-based method to detect common CFAs of ETEC, which were characterized using conventional serology. This PCR assay is simple and sensitive for the detection of expressed CFA genes.

Continuous observation of individual motile microorganisms is difficult, since their swimming speed is fast compared with their diameters. In fact, some bacteria can swim as fast as 50 diameters/s [1]. At this speed, microorganisms can quickly go out of the range of static measurement instruments, such as the field of view of optical microscopes. This problem can be solved by tracking the micro...

Objective: The prevalence and incidence of Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage vary according to the population studied. It is known that there a link between recurrence staphylococcal skin infections carriage. study aimed determine S. microbiological profile cultures in patients with acute folliculitis without history recurrence, compare results control group, evaluate demographic factors on ...

Peptic ulcer (P.U.) is the gastrointestinal tract's most frequent disorder affecting mainly stomach and duodenum. Surgical intervention, ingested materials microbial infections may trigger inflammation that further predispose to oxidative stress. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are group of compounds established for suppressions gastric acid secretions profoundly permanently over a reasonably lon...
