Trichomonas vaginalis infection is the most prevalent nonviral sexually transmitted disease (STD) in the world. A PCR test using vaginal swab samples for the detection of T. vaginalis was developed to add T. vaginalis infection to the growing list of STDs that can be detected by DNA amplification techniques. A primer set, BTUB 9/2, was designed to target a well-conserved region in the beta-tubu...

Class II fumarase sequences were obtained by polymerase chain reaction from five trichomonad species. All residues known to be highly conserved in this enzyme were present. Nuclear run-on assays showed that one of the two genes identified in Tritrichomonas foetus was expressed, whereas no fumarase transcripts were detected in the related species Trichomonas vaginalis. These findings corroborate...

The spread of antimicrobial resistance is one the most serious human and animal health problems our time. Propolis a natural substance with antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic activity, active components which are polyphenols terpenoids. In present study, authors investigated efficacy propolis against Staphylococcus spp., Enterococcus Escherichia coli Salmonella enterica, Candida albicans ...
