background and objectives: pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most important opportunistic pathogens in patients who suffer from immunodeficiency and burns. wound infections caused by p. aeruginosa can rapidly change to systemic and life threatening situation. the aim of this study was to apply florescent in situ hybridization (fish) method for rapid detection of p. aeruginosa in burrn patien...

background and purpose: salmonella is a group of enterobacterias that cause infectious diseases in human and animals. typhoid, bacteremia, enterocolitis and salmonellosis which are caused by this bacterium are considered major health concerns in developing countries, such as iran. quick, accurate, reliable and early diagnosis is vital to prevent salmonella outbreak. materials and methods: there...

This report describes the detailed procedures for Western blot analysis using fluorescent antibodies. After electrophoresis and subsequent electroblotting, the fluorescent-labeled antibodies were visible upon ultraviolet illumination of the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes and could then be photographed to give an accurate record of the blots. Fluorescent labeling allows for photographi...

Background: Nowadays, the rapid recovery of skin lesions and functional return are among the goals of researchers. The skin is the first defensive barrier against microorganisms in the body and its failure causes infection to spread in all systems of the body. By taking into account the contradictory results of previous studies on the impact of phototherapy on wound healing and also the conside...

background: icter is the most prevalent disease in newborns. although most of the newborns affiliated with this seem healthy in other aspects, there is always a fear for toxic complication of indirect hyperbilirobinemia in the central nervous system. if the level of indirect bilirobin increases in the plasma to a level, which denotes the probability of danger, phototherapy must be carried out i...

background : some characteristics of lighting sources such as color properties and ultraviolet emissions have important roles on visual and non-visual health effects of lighting. this study aimed to investigate the light emissions of some compact fluorescent lamps (cfls) and incandescent lamps commercially available to the iranian consumers. methods: sixty lamps included 48 single envelope cfls...

introduction babesiosis is caused by apicomplexa parasites of the genus babesia. humans are commonly infected by babesia through tick bites. there is limited information available about babesia infection of humans in china. the aim of this study was to isolate the pathogen from a patient with severe parasitemia. case presentation blood samples were observed by transmission electron microscopy (...

in order to detect hydrogen cyanide gene and to determine pseudomonas fluorescent efficiency in producing hydrogen cyanide for controlling the growth of rhizoctonia solanipathogen (the causal agent of sugar beet root and crown rot), samples were collected from sugar beet rhizosphere in sabzevar fields. after soil sampling and purification, 31 pseudomonas spp. isolates were separated on specific...

abstract fluorescens pseudomonads can suppress soil-borne plant pathogens by employing several mechanisms such as competition for iron by means of siderophores. three indigenous strains pseudomonas fluorescens (utpf5, utpf61 and utpf76), pseudomonas aeruginosa 7nsk2 and its pyoverdin mutant, mpfm1, were used for investigation the effect of iron competition on bean damping-off suppression. the r...
