Background: Test of pahogenecity of fish pathogens usually done by injection or ingestion of the bacterial samples on the fish. Objective of the current research was to introduce a new method of testing pathogenecity of fish pathogens through an artificial infection system. The targeted method was to observe the pathogenecity in aquarium condition by direct infection of the system water with ba...

Infections with nonsporing anaerobes are common and often pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. There is an increasing trend of resistance among anaerobes against the commonly used antibiotics. Lot of development has occurred in terms of molecular and biochemical basis for pathogenecity and virulence factors among nonsporing anaerobes. Therefore, there is a need for development of newer, ...

Shigella species are intracytosolic Gram-negative invasive enteropathogenic bacteria, causing the rupture, invasion and inflammatory destruction of the human colonic epithelium. They utilize the host cytoskeletal components to form propulsive actin tails. The so-called invasive phenotype of Shigella is linked to expression of a type III secretory system (TTSS) injecting effector proteins into t...
