The present study was conducted to compare two stool antigen detection kits with PCR for the diagnosis of Entamoeba histolytica infections by using fecal specimens submitted to the Department of Microbiology at St. Vincent's Hospital, Sydney, and the Institute of Medical and Veterinary Science, Adelaide, Australia. A total of 279 stool samples containing the E complex (E. histolytica, Entamoeba...

Bagi seorang muslim status halal suatu produk pangan maupun non-pangan harus terpenuhi secara mutlak, begitu juga dengan kosmetik. Kosmetik terdiri dari berbagai bahan dan yang menjadi titik kritis kehalalan kosmetik adalah kompleksitas komposisi memungkinkan penggunaan dasar berasal babi seperti gelatin, asam lemak, gliserin kolagen mana bahan-bahan tersebut sangat umum digunakan dalam pembuat...

Objective: Short tandem repeats (STRs) have been widely used in human identification forensics. Evaluation and design of new markers are useful tools to obtain additional information complete conventional analysis. Also, it will be an alternative way confirm the results problematic cases (complex kinship, degraded samples, etc.). Increasing number loci result reducing risk adventitious matches ...

Salmonella (S.) Typhimurium and S. Enteritidis are the major causative agents of food-borne illnesses worldwide. Currently, a rapid detection system using multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been applied for other food-borne pathogens such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus spp. A multiplex real-time PCR was developed for the simultaneous detection ...

High quality DNA was isolated from Casuarina equisetifolia which is widely planted in tropics and subtropics for its multiple utilities. Two commonly used methods, CTAB based and the commercially supplied DNeasyTM Plant Mini Kit (QIAGEN GmbH, Germany) were tested for their efficiency in isolating high quantity and quality DNA to be utilized for AFLP analysis. The CTAB based protocol was modifie...

The genus Alaria includes seven species but only Alaria alata is widespread throughout all the Europe. In present research 43 adult samples, 20 mesocercaria samples and ten egg samples were analyzed utilizing molecular biology methods. QIAamp DNA Mini Kit (Protocol: DNA purification from tissues, Qiagen, Germany) and DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kit (Protocol: Purification of total DNA from animal tis...

Background/aim: This study included patients who had digestive system complaints between August 2015 and October 2015. The research was designed to compare conventional microscopy with an antigen detection ELISA kit and the TaqMan-based real-time PCR (RT-PCR) technique for detection of Giardia intestinalis in human stool specimens. Materials and methods: Samples were concentrated by formalin-et...
