background and objectives: tuberculosis (tb) is the oldest known bacterial disease in humans. due to the rise of morbidity in recent years, early diagnosis of the disease is necessary. materials and methods: in this study we used fluorescent amplification–based specific hybridization (flash) pcr to target is6110 for rapid detection of m. tuberculosis (mtb). to investigate the important factors ...

a multiplex pcr-based assay was developed for detection of salmonella typhi and identification of other salmonella serotypes. three primer-sets were selected from different genomic sequences, malo2-f/malo2-ra primers from invasion gene, parat-s/parat-as as well as tyv-s/tyv-as primers from o-antigen gene cluster of the genus salmonella. this method differentiated salmonella spp., based on size ...

background: neisseria meninigitidis is one of the most frequently encountered microorganisms associated with central nervous system infections. the aim of this study was to evaluate a pcr-based assay for specific and rapid detection of n. meninigitidis in csf specimens.   methods : since april 2002 to july 2006, 130 csf specimens were collected from patients suspected of having bacterial mening...

objectives: salmonella typhimurium is important food-borne pathogen responsible for gastroenteritis. in this work a polymerase chain reaction based enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (pcr-elisa) was developed to identify salmonella typhimurium. materials and methods: the rfb gene which is responsible for biosynthesis of the salmonella o-antigenic lipopolysaccharide was selected as the target s...

introduction: rapid acute physiology score (raps) and rapid emergency medicine score (rems) are two physiologic models for measuring injury severity in emergency settings. the present study was designed to compare the two models in outcome prediction of trauma patients presenting to emergency department (ed). methods: in this prospective cross-sectional study, the two models of raps and rems we...
