Introduction: Campylobacter jejuni is one of the most common causes of food poising in humans. Rapid and specific detection of these bacteria has an important role in diagnosis and treatment of infection. The aim of this study was to design a specific PCR for the detection of Campylobacter jejuni. Methods: In this experimental study, oxidoreductase gene from the Campylobacter jejuni was sele...

shigella species are among the common causes of bacterial diarrhoeal diseases. traditional detection methods are time-consuming resulting in delay in treatment and control of shigella infections thus there is a need to develop molecular methods for rapid and simultaneous detection of shigella spp. in this study a rapid multiplex pcr were developed for simultaneous detection of three pathogenic ...

background and objectives:hbv and htlv-i are life threatening infectious agents in patients who receive blood and blood products. although serological methods have been proved to be useful, detection of these viruses has remained a challengingissue due to the many obstacles. by the advent of nucleic acid testing methods, especially in multiplex format, more precise detection is possible.the obj...

methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (mrsa) is the main cause of hospital infection emerged over the last decades. rapid detection of mrsa is important for patient care and proper usage of infection control. detection of meca genes (encoding resistance to methicillin and other similar antibiotics) and nuc genes (encoding staphylococcal thermostable nuclease) by pcr method is now consider...

To detect the presence of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) in infected allantoic fluid (AF) of SPF embryonated eggs rapid hemagglutination (HA) activity after treatment with neuraminidase enzyme was used. Twenty IBV suspected materials were inoculated in SPF embryonated eggs via chorioallantoic cavity. Harvested AFs were treated with neuraminidase enzyme and the presence of IBV was detected by...

Background: Bacteremia due to Enterococcus faecalis is usually caused by strains resistant to most antibiotics. Effective management of the disease is dependent on rapid detection and characterization of the bacteria, and determination its sensitivity pattern to antimicrobial drugs. The aim of this study was to investigate a more rapid and reliable assay for simultaneous diagnosis of enterococc...

The current study is focused on determining the mRNA expression levels of tetranectin, to detect oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and thus aiding in its classification at an early stage. RNA was isolated and cDNA synthesis was performed from the saliva samples of the patients and healthy individuals. A semiquantitative PCR based analysis was performed prior to quantitative and expression bas...
