Salmonella is one of the most important zoonotic pathogens with many virulence factors playing a major role in its pathogenesis. The aims of this study were to detect spvA, int2 and invC virulence genes of different Salmonella serotypes isolated from various clinical animal and human sources, and to investigate antibiotic resistance patterns among these serotypes. Using a PCR assay, a total of ...

the effect of triton x-100, na cholate and tween 80 on the solubilization of integral membrane proteins in intact cells, spheroplasts and inner-membrane fragments of salmonella typhimurium was studied. the detergents were used in various concentrations (1.6 to 64 mm) and cytochromes b and d were used as marker to monitor the solubilization of membrane-bound proteins. results showed that no inne...

background and objective: typhoid fever is still a major health problem for which there are limited options for the diagnosis. current diagnostic methods are time consuming with undesirable sensitivity. among newer diagnostic methods, pcr is attractive and could be potentially very helpful in developing countries where systemic salmonella infections are endemic among children but needs to be in...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of 15 serotypes of salmonella to form biofilm on polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride (pvc) and glass surfaces. .initially slime production was assessed on cra agar and hydrophobicity of 20 salmonella strains isolated from poultry and human and two salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium references strains was achieved by microbial adhesion to n-hexa...
