chromagar candida is a new chromogenic culture medium that is used for the isolation and direct identification of some of the most clinically important yeast pathogens on the basis of colony colour. the aim of the study was to isolate and identify candida species from the oral cavity with chromagar candida. samples (158) from 68 orthodontic patients wearing upper removable orthodontic appliance...

background recent evidences have revealed that in more than 65% of microbial infections, biofilms have critical roles. the ability of yeasts to form biofilms on surface of medical devices such as urine catheters is an important reason of the capability of these microorganisms to cause human disease. objectives the aim of this study was to isolate and identify yeasts on the surfaces of urine cat...

background and purpose: candida species are the most opportunistic fungi affecting the nails and resulting in onychomycosis. in this study, we identified and evaluated in-vitro susceptibility of the recovered isolates against fluconazole (flc), voriconazole (vrc), and clotrimazole (clt) using the clinical and laboratory standards institute (clsi) m27-a3 document. materials and methods: from pat...

Phylogenetic relationships among 50 Phytophthora species and between Phytophthora and other oomycetes were examined on the basis of the ITS sequences of genomic rDNA. Phytophthora grouped with Pythium, Peronospora, and Halophytophthora, distant from genera in the Saprolegniales. Albugo was intermediate between these two groups. Unlike Pythium, Phytophthora was essentially monophyletic, all but ...

Foldscope is a paper microscope based on origami which easy to use and extremely portable. Paper doesn’t require any special laboratory facilities or high-cost chemicals. The present research study how foldscope can be used as an efficient tool for farmers get known about plant pathogens by seeing symptoms parts. For optical visibility of pathogen glass slides were along with small diseased par...
