According to Bergey’s Manual of Systematic Bacteriology [48], the genus Aeromonas includes the following species: Aeromonas hydrophila, Aeromonas bestiarum, Aeromonas salmonicida, Aeromonas caviae, Aeromonas media, Aeromonas eucrenophila, Aeromonas sobria, Aeromonas veronii (biovars sobria and veronii), Aeromonas jandaei, Aeromonas schubertii, Aeromonas trota, Aeromonas allosaccharophila, Aerom...

We developed a method to predict bacterial pathogenicity against mammals by measuring bacterial virulence in silkworms at 37°C, human body temperature. One hundred and twenty-two strains of bacteria were isolated from the intestines of fish and shellfish and tested for their virulence against silkworms. Overnight cultures of 50 strains killed at least 50% of the silkworms when injected into the...

results slow and fast-growing groups of the mycobacterium strains were clearly differentiated based on the constructed tree of 56 common mycobacterium isolates. each species with a unique title in the tree was identified; in total, 13 nods with a bootstrap value of over 50% were supported. among the slow-growing group was mycobacterium kansasii, with m. tuberculosis in a cluster with a bootstra...

introduction an unusual incidence of tuberculosis in different parts of the body is called tuberculomas. the rate of brain tuberculosis is rare. case presentation the following case of tuberculamas of the brain, presented by enhancing rings of meninges, is reported because of its rarity. it was a case of brain tuberculomas in a 15-year-old girl with primary symptoms of headache and general weak...

to investigate the prevalence of mycobacterium paratuberculosis (m. avium subsp. paratuberculosis)infection among cattle slaughtered in ahvaz abattoir, samples were taken from 250 cattle. before slaughter,sex and age were assessed. thereafter, samples were taken from ileocecal valve, rectum mucosa, ileocecallymph node and stool. all smears which taken from these samples were stained by ziehl-ne...

background pe5 is a member of the pe protein family whose precise function is yet to be understood. there are about 100 members of the pe family proteins in mycobacterium tuberculosis. these glycine- and alanine-rich proteins consist of proline-glutamate motifs at their n-termini and may be implicated in pathogenesis of the bacilli. objectives we aimed to clone and over-express the rv0285 codin...
