background methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (mrsa) continues to be a major cause of nosocomial infections. methicillin resistance in s. aureus is caused by the acquisition of the meca gene, located on a mobile genetic element called the staphylococcal cassette chromosome (scc). objectives the aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of the predominant sccmec type present among ...

Four chlorophyll-protein complexes have been resolved from the cyanophyte, Nostoc sp., by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at 4 C. Complexes solubilized by SDS from Spinacia oleracea were run for comparison. As has been well documented, the P700-chlorophyll a-protein complex from the higher plant and blue-green algal samples are similar, and the light-harvesting p...

introduction: it is essential for clinicians to have knowledge about root canal configuration, although its morphology varies largely in different ethnicities and even in different individuals within the same ethnic group. the current study reviewed the root canal configuration of root canals in mandibular first and second premolars among iranian population based on independent epidemiological ...

Multiple species of Xanthomonas cause bacterial spot of tomato (BST) and pepper. We sequenced five Xanthomonas euvesicatoria strains isolated from three continents (Africa, Asia, and South America) to provide a set of representative genomes with temporal and geographic diversity. LMG strains 667, 905, 909, and 933 were pathogenic on tomato and pepper, except LMG 918 elicited a hypersensitive re...

mobile carrier properties of two schiff base ligands, named bis(2-hydroxypropiophenone)-1,2-propanediimine (n2o2) and bis(1'-hydroxy-2'-acetonaphthone)-2,2'-diiminodiethylamine (n3o2), dissolved in dichloromethane for the extraction of copper(ii) ions from an ammonium buffer feed phase into a nitric acid solution (receiving phase) were investigated and compared. the parameters influencing the t...

‎in this paper‎, ‎the type-{rm ii} matrices on (negative) latin square graphs are considered and it is proved that‎, ‎under‎ ‎certain conditions‎, ‎the nomura algebras of such type-{rm ii} matrices are trivial‎. ‎in addition‎, ‎we construct type-{rm ii} matrices‎ ‎on doubly regular tournaments and show that the nomura algebras of such matrices are also trivial‎.

Among the two types of bacterial L-asparaginases, only type II enzymes have been used inthe treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia owing to their higher affinity for L-asparagine.However, current screening media used for the isolation of L-asparaginase-producingmicroorganisms do not discriminate between the two types of L-asparaginase. During anoptimization study conducted to increase L-aspa...
