A total number of 450 blood samples were collected from 45 different randomly selected cattle herds. Light microscopic examination of blood smears revealed Babesia spp. infection in 4.2%, while 8.9% of blood samples were positive using PCR. Upon multiplex-PCR (mPCR), B. bigemina and B. bovis infections were detected in 37/40 (92.5%) and 3/40 (7.5%) samples, respective...

Assays to simultaneously detect multiple potential agents of bioterrorism are limited. Two multiplex PCR and RT-PCR enzyme hybridization assays (mPCR-EHA, mRT-PCR-EHA) were developed to simultaneously detect many of the CDC category "A" bioterrorism agents. The "Bio T" DNA assay was developed to detect: Variola major (VM), Bacillus anthracis (BA), Yersinia pestis (YP), Francisella tularensis (F...

Campylobacteriosis caused by Campylobacter spp. is the prime cause of bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide. Chicken and other poultry birds act as major reservoir for thereby play a crucial role in transmission this zoonotic disease to humans. The current investigation was undertaken study occurrence organised layer farms their associated environmental samples. A total 260 samples comprising clo...

Background: Clostridium spp. spores are resistant to many factors, including alcohol-based disinfectants. The presence of clostridial in a hospital environment may lead infection outbreaks among patients and health care workers. Objective: This study is aimed detect the aurology using C diff Banana Broth™ assess antibiotic sensitivity toxinotypes isolates. Methods: After diagnosing COVID-19 med...
