Introduction: Applying of a new indicator in food packaging can be effective to inform consumers about the freshness and quality of the products. Materials and Methods: In the current study, a new milk freshness label was investigated containing beetroot color and multi layers of polystyrene. The label characteristics were investigated by estimating color number, release test, and scanning ele...

The agar RCPB pH5 has been considered a good alternative for counts of Bifidobacterium in yoghurt. However, during the refrigerated storage of yoghurt it is extremely difficult to count this microorganism due to the size of the colonies, which are so small they require the aid of a stereoscope to count them. Another agar, MRS-LP, has been also recommended for counts of Bifidobacterium in the pr...

Haematogenous contamination of cemented total knee replacements with an anaerobic microorganism, Propionibacterium acnes, was studied in rabbits. Seven weeks after operation the bacteria were injected intravenously and seven weeks after this bacterial challenge the experimental bacterial strain was cultured from 50 per cent of the artificial joints. Bacterial growth at the prosthesis was not co...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to describe the spectrum of pediatric primary subacute hematogenous osteomyelitis (PSAHO) and to investigate its bacterial etiology. METHODS Sixty-five consecutive cases of PSAHO admitted to our institution over a 16-year period (2000-2015) were retrospectively reviewed to assess their laboratory and radiographic imaging features, as well as their bacteriological e...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have appeared as important regulators of various biological processes including development, cancer, immunity, and host-microorganism interactions. Accumulating evidence demonstrates the differential expression of host miRNAs upon infection by various microorganisms and the involvement of microorganism-encoded miRNAs in host manipulation. Some of these alterations could be pa...
