Fifty samples were collected from patients suffering the presence of infections in skin, including wounds and burns, inside Fallujah Teaching Hospital. The period September to December 2021, after isolation, transplantation, microscopic molecular diagnosis, 30 obtained on which bacteria appeared Including (E. coli K. pneumoniae), constitute about 60 % total samples. test showed its development ...

Advancement in bioinformatics with the development of computational tools has enabled the in-silico prediction and identification of transcription regulatory factors and other genetic elements with great ease. In this study, computational analysis of sequence homology of 546 bp 5' region of 16SrRNA gene of Bacillus sp. strain SJ-101 resulted in identification of promoter-like sequences within t...

AIM Identification of different serogroups of Dichelobacter nodosus prevailing in the region and to understand the degree of genetic heterogeneities among the different isolates of D. nodosus. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 150 exudate samples of footrot lesions with a lesion score of 2-4 were collected from naturally infected sheep. The samples were screened by polymerase chain reaction (P...

Colonization by Helicobacter species is commonly noted in many mammals. These infections often remain unrecognized, but can cause severe health complications or more subtle host immune perturbations. The aim of this study was to isolate and characterize putative novel Helicobacter spp. from Bengal tigers in Thailand. Morphological investigation (Gram-staining and electron microscopy) and geneti...

Dracaena reflexa commonly known as “song of India” is an important ornamental plant grown both outdoors and a house plant. During October 2021, typical phytoplasma symptoms including little leaf stunting were observed in D. plants growing the landscape around Dr.Y.S.R. Horticultural University, Anantharajupeta, Andhra Pradesh. Eight diseased amongst 100 surveyed (Figure 1). Total DNA was extrac...

The isolation and characterization of six rhizobial strains isolated from Anagyris latifolia, a shrub legume endemic to the Canary Islands, is reported in this study. The isolates were characterized by 16S-ARDRA, and sequencing of the ribosomal 16SrRNA gene, the 16S-23SrDNA intergenic spacer region, and the housekeeping gene for glutamine synthetase II (glnII). The phylogenies based on the thre...

Article history: Received on: 09/05/2017 Accepted on: 07/07/2017 Available online: 30/09/2017 A total of 9 actinomycetes (FA1-FA9) isolates were isolated from soil and water samples using starch casein agar and actinomycetes isolation agar. Except FA4, all the isolates showed antimicrobal activity against one or more of the bacteria (Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Klebisella pneumonia...

An obligate intracellular bacterium was isolated from urine samples from 7 (3.5%) of 202 fruit bats (Eonycteris spelaea) in peninsular Malaysia. The bacterium produced large membrane-bound inclusions in human, simian, and rodent cell lines, including epithelial, fibroblastlike, and lymphoid cells. Thin-section electron microscopy showed reticulate bodies dividing by binary fission and elementar...
