Background: Clostridium spp. spores are resistant to many factors, including alcohol-based disinfectants. The presence of clostridial in a hospital environment may lead infection outbreaks among patients and health care workers. Objective: This study is aimed detect the aurology using C diff Banana Broth™ assess antibiotic sensitivity toxinotypes isolates. Methods: After diagnosing COVID-19 med...

Contaminated food and water are usual vehicles for bacterial pathogens transmission. According to EFSA they promote foodborne illness. Salmonella sp., Campylobacter sp., Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus are the most foodborne pathogens reported. Bacterial contamination levels remain at high level, particularly in Europe, despite regulatory efforts to address th...

The lack of rapidity and the low sensitivity and specificity of traditional laboratory methods limits their usefulness in the laboratory diagnosis of viral central nervous system (CNS) infections. This study describes the use of a commercially available multiplex polymerase chain reaction (mPCR)-based reverse hybridization assay (RHA) for the simultaneous detection of the genomes of 8 viruses a...

coagulase-positive and coagulase negative, methicillin-resistant staphylococci are major causes of serious nosocomial infections and it is very important to have a reliable test to detect these bacteria. a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (mpcr) was used on 100 clinical samples for simultaneous amplification of the universal bacterial, mec-a encoding the penicillin binding protein 2a, which ...

The aim of the study was to analyse experimental transmission of Mycoplasma synoviae, an avian pathogen. Three experiments using specific pathogen-free day-old chicks placed in isolators were conducted. In the first experiment, the birds were introduced in an isolator previously contaminated with a M. synoviae broth culture. After 34 days, these birds were eliminated and, for the second trial, ...

BACKGROUND There is growing evidence that Chlamydia pneumoniae may be involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, as several studies have demonstrated the presence of the organism in atherosclerotic lesions. C. pneumoniae infections, which are especially persistent infections, have been difficult to diagnose either by serological methods or isolation of the organism from the tissue. Nuclei...

conclusions etec and eaggec were the most detected e. coli among stool and uti samples, emphasizing the need to dedicate more health care attention to this group. in addition, our phylogenetic study may be helpful in figuring out the infection origin and for epidemiological studies. nonetheless, more research studies with larger sample sizes are suggested for confirming our results. results ove...
