Fowl cholera has caused significant economic losses in many poultry producing countries worldwide. In Malaysia, outbreaks of fowl are frequently reported and encountered different types productions. The objective this study was to characterise 13 avian Pasteurella multocida, isolated from Central Peninsular Malaysia the period between 2000 2018. isolates were subjected multiplex polymerase chai...

Objective We evaluated biofilm production ability (BPA) of Streptococcus agalactiae isolates from companion animals/humans and clarified the relationship between BPA populations other microbiological features. Methods Companion animal-/human-origin were collected with host information. measured using crystal violet staining, via virulence-associated gene profiling (hylB-pavA-pilB-spb1-srtC1-brp...

background: klebseilla pneumoniae causes urinary tract infections, nosocomial pneumonia and intra-abdominal infections. capsular antigens are considered to be the ultimate virulence determinants. among 77 capsular serotypes of k. pneumoniae, serotypes k1 and k2 are the most virulent ones in humans. objectives: we designed a pcr method for detection of capsular serotypes k1 and k2 of k. pneumoni...

the last two decades have seen a massive growth in the application of dna technology in histocompatibility and immunogenetics. this review summarises the history and application of dna methods in this area.

conclusions as about 70% of methicillin-resistant isolates belonged to sccmec iii, the present study can conclude that, over an 8-year period, only one dominant and stable clone of mrsa strain was found in tabriz hospitals. this finding could be a result of incorrect medical orientations, inadequate infection controlling policies, and insufficient preventive approaches. objectives the current s...

OBJECTIVES Multidrug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates of serotype 19A have emerged all over the world in recent years. The aim of this study was to characterize highly penicillin-resistant pneumococcal strains of the 19A serotype, collected in Spain from 1997 to 2007 from patients with invasive disease. METHODS Antibiotic susceptibility was studied by microdilution. All penicillin-...
