Powdery mildew is a common, economically important disease in the wheat growing area of Serbia. A large-scale virulence survey its causal agent Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici population was performed period 1995–2013. total 1013 isolates were recovered from collected chasmothecial samples. Among them, 862 unique pathotypes identified using differential set 20 lines with known powdery (Pm) res...

Objective(s): The enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) has been one of the most intriguing emerging bacterial pathogens in children that occur both in developing countries and the industrial world. Although various phenotypic and genotypic based protocols have been suggested for diagnosis of EAEC, they are not conclusive or practical to be used in most clinical la...

Alternaria brown spot disease is caused by the alternata tangerine pathotype, which relies on ACT-toxin for infection. At present, all identified biosynthesis-related genes are multi-copy genes. In this study, we summarized advances in important host-specific toxins (HSTs), and listed key required pathogenicity of A. pathotype. Toxin virulence test results revealed that different citrus species...

Pasteurella multocida is an opportunistic pathogen responsible for pneumonia of lambs and goats, respiratory atrophic rhinitis of swine. Although the molecular basis of the pathogenicity and host specificity of P. multocida is not well understood, several studies have reported that a number of proteins are correlated with the pathogenic mechanisms. Adhesins have a crucial role in mediating colo...

colibacillosis caused by avian pathogenic escherichia coli (apec) is an economic threat to the poultry industry throughout the world. some of the virulence genes may enhance the ability of e. coli isolates to grow in the tissues of broilers. the apec strains are assigned to a few distinct phylogenetic groups. the purpose of the present study was to detect the virulence genes and phylogenetic gr...

background: the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of virulence-associated genes and enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus pcr (eric-pcr) analysis of campylobacter spp. isolated from children with diarrhea in iran. methods: a total of 200 stool specimens were obtained from children under 5 years during july 2012 to july 2013. detection of c. jejuni and c. coli was perfo...
