capsules from a range of pathogenic bacteria are the key determinants of virulency. the capsule hasbeen implicated in virulence of pasteurella multocida. in this study a type-specific polymerase chain reaction(pcr) assay was used for capsular typing of 39 avian p. multocida isolates from iran. the pcr amplified afragment of 1044 bp from all of tested isolates. it was found that all avian p. mul...

conclusions the rate of carbapenem resistant a. baumannii isolates were high in this study. since, blaoxa-58-like or mbl genes were not detected, it seems that resistance to carbapenems is related to blaoxa-23-like and blaoxa-24-like. moreover, blaoxa-23-like was the most prevalent oxacillinase (oxa) gene. most of the isolates belonged to one of the four dominant genotypes indicating clonal dis...

Today, just as twenty y~ars ago, many linguists would be tempted to agree unreservedly with Leonard Bloomfield that 'the causes of sound-change are unknown. l Not a few would infer from this statement that any research aimed at determining such causes is inevitably doomed to failure. Scholars who regard linguistics, primarily and even exclusively, as a descriptive discipline both on the synchro...

purpose: to compare the anatomical results of scleral buckling surgery with and without retinopexy in the management of phakic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (rd). methods: in this retrospective, nonrandomized, interventional, comparative case series, data of 71 phakic eyes of 71 patients with rhegmatogenous rd that had undergone scleral buckling were evaluated. the procedure in 41 consecuti...
