the present work was conducted to compare the occurrence of escherichia coli possessing virulence and esbl genes in backyard and farmed poultry. three hundred and sixty samples from the poultry kept in backyard system and 120 samples from the farmed birds were collected from west bengal, india. among the e. coli isolates of backyard poultry (o2, o10, o25, o55, o60, o106, ut), none of them posse...

Sixty isolates of Pythium aphanidermatum as the causal agent of sugar beet root rot were selected on the basis of their geographical origins, morphological and genetic diversity studies. Pathogenicity test using the Kruskal-Wallis analysis showed significant differences between the pathogenic potential of isolates. Based on the growth rate, isolates were categorized in two groups with low and h...

  Pseudomonas aeruginosa is among the most important pathogens in the nosocomial infections. A genetic mobile element, the integron, is one of the major agents involved in dissemination of multi-drug resistance among gram negative bacteria. During a descriptive study from October 2009 to August 2010, some 130 P. aeruginosa clinical isolates were collected from different wards of three hospitals...

to study molecular evolutionary characteristics and genetics of beet necrotic yellow vein virus (bnyvv) isolates population from iran, nucleotide sequences of p25 and coat protein (cp) were determined and the amino acids sequences thus deduced were analyzed using phylogenetic and population genetics methods. a survey of bnyvv in iran indicated the infection of 288 collected samples out of 392 s...

In this study, we investigated the rate of colonization of skin of children with atopic dermatitis (AD) by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and characterized the isolates. Active skin lesions in pediatric AD patients were cultured with Rodac Staph (Komed, Korea). S. aureus isolates were examined for drug susceptibilities, analyzed for the eta, etb, tst, and pvl genes, and type...
