Colibacillosis caused by E.coli is one of the most common illnesses in commercial chickens and induce high financial losses in the poultry industry due to morbidity, mortality and antibiotic expenses because of overuses. E.coli can mostly cause disease as a secondary or opportunistic pathogen, while certain strains with specific virulence factors even as primary pathogen can cause colibacillosi...

conclusions the results showed that e. coli isolated from patients with uti had eight virulence factors with high frequencies. moreover, these results alleged a direct connection between virulence factors and antimicrobial resistance in e. coli. results the frequency of virulence factors papc, afa, sfa/foc, fimh, hly, neuc, ibea, and iucc were 53.3%, 51.7%, 53.3%, 56.7%, 23.3%, 31.7%, 20%, and ...

Background and Objective: Salmonellosis is an important infectious zoonotic disease that makes it even more significant to identify and control the causative strains. Molecular methods, especially polymerase chain reaction (PCR), for virulence genes can help to quickly and accurately identify Salmonella strains. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was molecular identification based on sivH, ...

fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (fol) is the causal agent of vascular wilt in tomato, an important plant disease in iran. four monogenic resistance genes in tomato are used for identification of races of fol and their corresponding avirulence genes avr1, avr2 and avr3 were identified in pathogen one of which, avr2, is f.sp. specific. hence they can serve as reliable markers for racial ide...

Background: A most common opportunistic pathogen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is present in both humans and animals and responsible for various nosocomial infections and healthcare settings related infections. Different virulence genes like; oprL (membrane lipoprotein L) and toxA (exotoxin A i.e. ETA) in P. aeruginosa, assist in its pathogenicity, toxicity and contribute to high antibiotic resistanc...

Abstract Enteropathogenic E. coli (ETEC) is a common infection in neonatal and nursery pigs resulting significant economic losses from morbidity, mortality, production inefficiencies. Due to the plasticity of its genome, can be particularly challenging manage swine systems. Populations are continuously changing their genome content via multiple methods genomic modification better adapt compete ...
