Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMolecular Analysis of Coagulase Gene Polymorphism in Clinical Isolates of Methicilin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus by Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism Based GenotypingM. Himabindu, D. Sugapriya Muthamilselvan, Dillip Kumar Bishi, Rama S. VermaProblem statement: To investigate coagulase gene variants through Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) amongst clinical isolates of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) collected from Chennai based hospitals. Approach: A total of 85 MRSA clinical isolates collected from various clinical sources were studied for the molecular typing purpose. To perform coagulase gene typing, the repeated units encoding hypervariable regions of the Staphylococcus … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,766 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenetic Testing for Inherited Thrombophilia in Women with Recurrent Pregnancy Loss: Prevalence and Risk Assessment of Factor V Leiden, Prothrombin, and MTHFR MutationsLina M. Al Momani, Manal A. AbbasGenetic testing for inherited thrombophilia in women with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) may play an important role in detecting high-risk subjects. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes. The high pure polymerase chain reaction template preparation kit and Reverse hybridization technique were used to detect the presence of factor V (G1691A, Leiden) (FVL), Factor II (prothrombin, G20210A), and 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 29 Nov 2025 · 2,559 accessesView PDF Cite

Research NotesOpen accessIn the abstractNuciferine Attenuates Cigarette Smoke-Induced Senescence in HepG-2 Cells via the miR-217/SIRT1/Nrf2 PathwayYun-Hong Zhao, Yi-Meng Ge, Wei-Jia Xu et al.The lotus leaf, widely used in both medicine and cuisine, contains bioactive compounds with therapeutic potential. Nuciferine (NF), an active constituent of significant importance, is extracted from the lotus leaf. The present study sought to uncover the molecular pathways through which Nuciferine (NF) mitigates cellular senescence triggered by Cigarette Smoke Components (CSCs) in HepG-2 cells, employing an experimental model where … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 4 Oct 2025 · 2,296 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTrends in the Prevalence of Clostridioides difficile Using Real Time PCR in South Korea (2020-2024)Yonghee Lee, Yoo Na Chung, Jae Kyung KimClostridioides difficile is a major cause of infection in healthcare settings, and frequent antibiotic use exacerbates its occurrence. C. difficile infection (CDI) is a major public-health challenge owing to its complications and high mortality rate. We aimed to analyze current trends in C. difficile prevalence. This study was a retrospective, single center analysis of 7,371 samples from April 2020 to … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 3 Oct 2025 · 2,358 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenetic Diversity of Leifsonia xyli Subsp. xyli Causing Ratoon Stunting Diseases of Sugarcane in Indonesia Using Intergenic Spacer Region Sequence AnalysisSisca Prayudani Usman, Abdul Latief Abadi et al.Leifsonia xyli subsp xyli (Lxx) is the cause of Ratoon Stunting Disease (RSD) on sugarcane and it considers as a quarantine pest in certain regions of Indonesia. RSD is a systemic disease that causes severe cane yield loss. Information about genetic diversity of this bacterial pathogen in Indonesia is limited. While global trading of sugar cane seed may facilitate the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 2 · 23 Jun 2025 · 3,351 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHuman Papillomavirus Genotypes in the Korean Older Adult Population Running Head: HPV Genotypes in Korean Older AdultsJieun Hwang, Hee Seung Song et al.In older populations, Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infections are likely to reactivate owing to immunocompromised, thereby increasing the risk of cervical and other cancers. However, research on HPV infection in older adults is limited and data on the sex- and age-specific distribution of high-risk HPV types are lacking. Thus, to increase the level of evidence on the extension of cervical cancer … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 6 Dec 2024 · 5,007 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrevalence of Diarrhea-Causing Pathogens in South Korea Analyzed Using Molecular Diagnostic MethodsYonghee Lee, Jae Kyung KimGastrointestinal inflammation remains a prevalent global health concern. Prompt and accurate diagnosis of the condition is required to mitigate health risks in immunocompromised individuals and alleviate the economic burden linked to treatment and pathogen isolation. Challenges posed by traditional culture tests, such as long detection time and inability to isolate low-abundance organisms, can be overcome using molecular diagnostic methods, which … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 25 Jul 2024 · 5,005 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdipose-Derived Canine Mesenchymal Stem Cells in PLAY® MediaArjun Kulkarni, Bhavana N. V., Teena Mary Thomas et al.In veterinary medicine, stem cell-based therapies present promise for addressing orthopedic and degenerative conditions in canines. Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) possess unique regenerative, immunomodulatory, and differentiation capabilities. However, their efficacy relies on optimal in-vitro conditions. Prolonged expansion over passages leads to a gradual loss of stem cell traits, highlighting the importance of optimized culture conditions and media supplements.
