this study was intended to investigate the effectiveness of static magnetic field on the growth of escherichia coli (e. coli) provided from two sources, the urine samples of patients with urinary tract infections and the reference strain e. coli atcc 25922. bacterial samples in nutrient broth were subjected to a range of magnetic intensities (2, 4, 6, 9, 14, 16, 18, and 20 mt) at various exposu...

with the aim of the secretion of human granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (hgm-csf) in escherichia coli, hgm-csf cdna was fused in-frame next to the signal sequence of st toxin (st-i) of exteroxigenic e. coli, containing 53 or 19 amino acids of signal peptide. the fused stsig::hgm-csf coding fragments were inserted into a t7-based expression plasmid. the recombinant plasmids were ...

Objective(s): This study was designed to determine the relationship of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli isolates in multispecies biofilms and their individual phenotypic characters in biofilm consortia. Materials and Methods:  The subject isolates were recovered from different food samples and identified on the basis of growth on differential and selective med...

Objective(s): Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the most effective proteins in angiogenesis, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) differentiation and wound healing. These abilities are therapeutic potential of VEGF in diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy and other tissue damage circumstances. In this study, recombinant VEGF was produced in Escherichia coli (E. coli) system and then biol...

Passively acquired antibodies through colostrum will protect calves against etiological agents of neonatal calf diarrhea. Among them enteric diseases due to strains of Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) are the most commonly occurring form of colibacillosis in newborn calves. Specific antibodies against whole ETEC cells and total immunoglobulin G in dam serum, colostrum and calf serum were...

Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a normal inhabitant of the gastrointestinal tract of vertebrates, including humans. Phylogenetic analysis has shown that E. coli is composed of four main phylogenetic groups (A, B1, B2 and D). Group A and B1 are generally associated with commensals, whereas group B2 is associated with extra-intestinal pathotypes. Most enteropathogenic isolates, however, are assigne...

Background: The survival of pathogens in biofilms poses a threat to food safety. The aim of this study was to determine prevalence, antimicrobial resistance, and molecular characterization of Escherichia coli strains. Methods: Swab samples (n=144) were collected from biofilm formed on food contact surfaces in seafood pre-processing plant in India. E. coli was isolated and identified using uid ...
