Luminous bacteria in seawater around the islands of Bahrain are predominantly Vibrio harveyi and have the capability to adhere to artificial fibrous surfaces. Phytoplankton did not appear to have any specific relationship with luminous bacteria, but macroalgae were shown to possess an enhanced concentration of luminous bacteria.

Methods: All patients admitted for delivery to Salmaniya Medical Complex together with the other satellite maternity units from the 1 January, 2001 until 30 April, 2002 were reviewed. Since none of the peripheral Government maternity hospitals would deal with such complicated cases, the four cases reported are truly representative of the incidence of HELLP syndrome in the Government Maternity H...

The levels of serum ribonucleases (RNase) were determined in a control group of healthy adults and in groups of patients suffering from body weight loss secondary to Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus, hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. The study also included a group of premature infants with body weight much less than normal. The results obtained support the correlation between the rise of ...

BACKGROUND Glanders, caused by the gram-negative bacterium Burkholderia mallei, is a highly infectious zoonotic disease of solipeds causing severe disease in animals and men. Although eradicated from many Western countries, it recently emerged in Asia, the Middle-East, Africa, and South America. Due to its rareness, little is known about outbreak dynamics of the disease and its epidemiology. ...

We confirm a natural infection of dromedaries with glanders. Multilocus variable number tandem repeat analysis of a Burkholderia mallei strain isolated from a diseased dromedary in Bahrain revealed close genetic proximity to strain Dubai 7, which caused an outbreak of glanders in horses in the United Arab Emirates in 2004.

Burkholderia mallei is a zoonotic agent causing glanders, a notifiable disease in equines. During the past decades glanders emerged, and the Kingdom of Bahrain reported outbreaks to the World Organization of Animal Health in 2010 and 2011. This paper presents the complete genome sequence of the Burkholderia mallei strain 11RR2811 Bahrain1.

Abstract The Kingdom of Bahrain has experienced accelerated development growth since the 1980s. These rapid land demands increased pressure on country area to rebuild urban centers and cities surrounding coast. purpose this research is detect investigate changes in use cover (LULC), which one most critical aspects planning managing as a natural resource. massive demand, particularly small-area ...
