Rapid diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) and multidrug-resistant (resistance to at least rifampin and isoniazid) Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is one of the cornerstones for global TB control as it allows early epidemiological and therapeutic interventions. The slow growth of the tubercle bacillus is the greatest obstacle to rapid diagnosis of the disease. However, considerable progress has r...

background: entamoeba moshkovskii and e. dispar are impossible to differentiate microscopically from the pathogenic species e. histolytica . multiplex polymerase chain reaction (multiplex pcr) is a widespread molecular biology technique for amplification of multiple targets in a single pcr experiment. methods: for detection and differentiation of the three-microscopy indistinguishable entamoeba...

BACKGROUND Typing of nosocomial pathogens is necessary to determine the source of an outbreak. The aim was to determine the genomic variability among Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) by random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC) methods. METHODS Fifty P. aeruginosa isolates were obtained from the hospitals. The source of the...
