Background and Aims: Group B streptococcus (GBS) may cause neonatal infection during and or after the delivery, and is the leading cause of sepsis, bacteremia, pneumonia and meningitis. The virulence factors are carried by both capsule and surface proteins by which serotypes and genotypes are determined. However, some genotypes are believed to be related in severity of neonatal diseases, theref...

For years, anti-Leishmania immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies have been detected in the sera of dogs living in areas of leishmaniasis endemicity. They have also been found in the aqueous humor and cerebrospinal fluid. In contrast, a review of the literature failed to identify the detection of anti-Leishmania antibodies in urine samples from dogs with leishmaniasis. Ninety-five dog urine samples ...

introduction: urine morphine test, in several countries is the most primarily available qualitative test for detecting opioid abusers. since the users of illicit drugs attempt to defeat urine tests and there are also plenty of claims that usage of hd (high dose) contraceptive pills can result in false-negative results, we decided to design the present study to investigate the probable in vitro ...

Bioanalysis is a chemical analysis used to determine the levels of xenobiotic substances and biotic in biological systems. In pharmaceutical world, bioanalysis plays role development new drugs, monitoring drug therapy, also bioequivalence. The bioanalytic research that will be discussed this journal about dolutegravir urine, saliva (saliva), blood plasma samples. technique can detect content sa...

We tested urine samples from patients at different stages of current leptospirosis and thereafter to determine whether use of the PCR for detection of leptospires in urine can be a valuable alternative to culturing. The procedure of DNA extraction and subsequent PCR applied to 15 freshly voided urine samples proved to be twice as sensitive as culturing. Overall, we were able to detect leptospir...

chronic urinary tract infections are often caused by antibiotic resistant bacteria. in some of these cases, prediction of the most effective antibiotic (s) may urgently be needed. this can not be achieved unless the nature and patterns of the resistance to antibiotics among the pathogenic bacteria has been described earlier. the urine samples that reached the laboratory of shaheed mustafa khome...

We evaluated the performance of four visually read pregnancy tests (TestPack Plus hCG Combo, ICON II hCG, SureCell hCG-Serum/Urine and PregnaGen 1-Step) designed to detect increased concentrations of choriogonadotropin (hCG) in either serum or urine samples. The biochemical sensitivities and specificity in both serum and urine samples were similar for each kit. All kits correctly identified pre...
