Background: Emergence of carbapenemase producing microorganisms, specifically the New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM) and its different groups, in areas all over world, raised a global health concern. metallo-beta-lactamase destructs carbapenems, that are considered one last lines treatment for infections caused by resistant strains. Aim: Our study aimed detection NDM gene among carbapenem Kleb...

Invasive aspergillosis (1 is a life-threatening condition in immunocompromised patients. An early diagnosis is of great importance because early treatment may resolve this potentially fatal infection. Recently, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been used successfully in detecting specific DNA of several pathogen. In this study, nested PCR was used to detect DNA specific for A!.pergiflus s...

background: erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae (e. rhusiopathiae) is generally transmitted into the gastrointestinal tract of animals by the intake of contaminated food or water and causes great economic loss in agriculture worldwide. some of the erysipelothrix spp. are the causative agents of erysipeloid, which is an occupational infection in humans. the aim of the present study was to isolate e. rh...

conclusions in conclusion, the prevalence of hcv genotype 1 was 51.7%, which was lower than the rates reported in other studies in turkey, while the prevalence of hcv genotype 3 was 46%, which was remarkably higher than the reported turkish data. in addition, the prevalence rate for genotype 3 reported in the present study is the highest that has ever been reported in the literature. results th...

results phylogenetic analysis of the gene revealed that pakistani 1a hcv strains are in the start of third cluster and there is a difference between inter pakistani isolates at primary, secondary and tertiary levels. material and methods patient sera infected with hepatitis c virus, genotype 1a, were obtained from molecular diagnostics lab, cemb, university of the punjab lahore by using bd vacu...

conclusions findings of the present study showed that hcv genotype 3 was the predominant genotype followed by the subtypes 1a and 1b in yazd, central province of iran. in addition, there was no difference between hcv load and genotypes 1 and 3. hcv genotyping is recommended in other provinces of iran. objectives the main aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of hcv genotypes in yazd,...

conclusions we confirm that in amol city and surrounding areas, the prevalence of true hcv infection is 0.05%, which is lower than that previously reported from iran. results the mean age of participants was 42.70 ± 17.10 years. of these participants, 57.2% (n = 3483) were male. anti-hcv antibody was positive in 12 individuals from which five were riba positive. three of these subjects were pcr...
