Bacterial blight (BB) disease, caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. (Xoo), is one of the most devastating diseases rice worldwide. Breeding for BB resistance has been utilized to overcome this constraint production; however, limited genetic resources or non-desirable linkage between disease and agronomic traits have become major obstacles. Interestingly, indigenous upland cultivars cultivated acros...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa as an opportunistic pathogen produces several virulence factors. The most important of these factors are exotoxin A and type III secretion system (T3SS). The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of toxA, exoU and exoS genes among clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa. In this cross-sectional study from September 2011 to February 2012, 156 P. aeruginosa isolates w...

netilmicin increased the coverage to 65% among noncolistinbased regimens. Although colistin-based combinations provided the broadest coverage for infection with A. baumannii, colistin has recognized adverse effects and low tissue penetration in lower respiratory tract infections. The triple noncolistin-based regimens provided broader coverage than the dual noncolistin-based regimens for MDR-A. ...

Antimicrobial resistance is a global problem affecting animals and humans. Improper use of antibiotics by humans, inefficient prevention control infections, poor hygiene sanitation, are causes for the emergence distribution antibiotic resistant bacteria. The role pets quite significant as disseminators antimicrobial-resistant This study was planned to analyze susceptibility profile Escherichia ...

We examined potable water in Los Angeles, California, as a possible source of infection in AIDS and non-AIDS patients. Nontuberculous mycobacteria were recovered from 12 (92%) of 13 reservoirs, 45 (82%) of 55 homes, 31 (100%) of 31 commercial buildings, and 15 (100%) of 15 hospitals. Large-restriction-fragment (LRF) pattern analyses were done with AseI. The LRF patterns of Mycobacterium avium i...

Campylobacter is responsible for human bacterial enteritis and poultry meat is recognised as a primary source of infection. In slaughterhouses, cleaning and disinfection procedures are performed daily, and it has been suggested that disinfectant molecules might select for antibiotic resistant strains if shared targets or combined resistance mechanisms were involved. The aim of the study was to ...
