background and objectives: urinary tract infection (uti) is one of the most common infections and a major cause of patient morbidity world wide. the gold standard for detection of bacterial pathogens in uti is culture of urine specimens. in order to facilitate identification of bacterial pathogens in clinical urine specimens we designed a molecular method to detect bacterial pathogen in uti. ma...

Background: There is a conserved portion in the 16S rRNA gene of bacteria which can be amplified by the universal PCR method. This fragment is 996 bp in length. In this method, only one set of universal primers is used for the amplification of the conserved region of the 16S rRNA gene, in common bacterial pathogens. Therefore, using the universal PCR method, these bacteria are detectable on...

In the course of conducting forensic analysis of human skeletal material, anthropologists are exposed to a number of biological and chemical hazards. This paper reviews the primary concerns in terms of infection or exposure. Handling of human tissue provides an avenue through which bloodborne pathogens may be transported. Scene recovery also includes a set of hazards through exposure to human, ...

Abstract The emergence of colistin resistance is one the most serious future issues since it a last‐resort antibiotic used to treat infections caused by multidrug‐resistant (MDR) gram‐negative bacteria, particularly those resistant carbapenems. aquatic environment acts as reservoir for and spread pathogens. transmission plasmid mediated mcr gene important mechanism in gram negative bacteria. Se...

UNLABELLED In order to identify pathogens rapidly and reliably, bacterial capture and concentration from large sample volumes into smaller ones are often required. Magnetic labeling and capture of bacteria using a magnetic field hold great promise for achieving this goal, but the current protocols have poor capture efficiency. Here, we present a rapid and highly efficient approach to magnetic l...

Roles of probiotic microorganisms in digestive physiology are contributed to enhancing animals health and reducing the incidence of gastrointestinal diseases. Banning the use of antibiotics as growth promoters in poultry in many countries has been contributed to the increasing use of probiotics because long-term use of antibiotics causes antibiotic resistance of pathogenic bacteria in poultry a...

protection of the mammary gland against mastitis-causing pathogens is mediated by many factors in thegland and blood circulation. the professional phagocytic cells of bovine udder, polymorphonuclearneutrophils (pmn) and macrophages, comprise the first line of defense against invading mastitis pathogens.most researchers now accept that the pmn is a key factor in the cows’ defense against intrama...

background and objectives:infection of pleural fluid is a common disease and because of antibiotic administration, the microbiology of this fluid has changed. the aim of this study was to determine the common bacteria and suitable antibiotics for treatment in pleural effusion (pe). materials and methods: in this cross sectional study, 1210 samples with exudative features were cultured for poss...
