Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDifferential Banding Pattern Based Identification of Urinary Tract Infection Causing BacteriaPoulomi Nandy, Md Aftabuddin, Ashoke Ranjan Thakur, Shaon RayChaudhuriUrinary Tract Infection (UTI) affects all age groups, but women are more susceptible than men. These infections are typically caused by E coli, Proteus mirabilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus fecalis and so on. Since uncultivable microbes are numerically abundant in urine samples, culture independent detection seems to be the method of choice for diagnosing UTI. This study … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 20 Jun 2013 · 8,098 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLevamisole Enhances Cell-Mediated Immune Responses and Reduces Shedding of H9N2 Avian Influenza Virus in Japanese Quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica)Tahoora Shomali, Najmeh Mosleh, Arash AlaeddiniProblem statement: Regarding the role of Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) in reassortment and spreading of avian influenza (AI) viruses and inadequate protection of vaccination in this species, the present study aimed to evaluate the effect of levamisole as an immunomodulatory agent on cell-mediated immunity (CMI), antibody responses and shedding of H9N2 AI virus in experimentally infected quails. Approach: On … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 6 Mar 2012 · 7,651 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIsolation and Characterization of Potential Probiotic Escherichia coli Strains from Rat Faecal SamplesPrasant Kumar, S. Ferzin, S. Chintan, G. Naresh KumarProblem statement: Gastrointestinal disorders mainly diarrhea is the most common cause of morbidity and mortality among infants and children in the developing countries occurs due to infection by enteropathogens. Ccontrol of these pathogens could be achieved by nonpathogenic Escherichia coli producing bacteriocins. Approach: Primary aim of this study was to isolate E. coli strains which inhibit enteropathogens. For this purpose, … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,417 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPassive Transfer of HIV-1 Antibodies and Drug Resistant Virus during a Health Care Worker Accident: Implications for HCW Post-Exposure ManagementCarlos Fernando De Oliveira, Ricardo Sobhie Diaz, Abdallah Harmache et al.Problem statement: We studied in detail a case in which a nurse caring for an HIV-infected child suffered a deep-laceration accident with contaminated blood. Approach: The patient had been treated with zidovudine (ZDV) and the nurse became infected despite prophylactic use of ZDV initiated 2 h after the accident. A reactive anti-HIV-1/2 EIA and an indeterminate western blot (gp120/160 reactivity) … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,872 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHIV-1 Infection and Central Monoamine NeurotransmittersAdarsh M. Kumar, J. B. Fernandez, Irina Borodowsky et al.Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) enters the central nervous system (CNS) shortly after infection and gets localized in different brain regions, leading to various types of neuropathological problems. It has been hypothesized that HIV-1 infection mediated neuropathogenesis may also adversely affect the activity of the central monoamine neurotransmitters systems, such as dopamine (DA), and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, serotonin), resulting in … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,491 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrevalence of Herpesvirus 8 Infection in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus PatientsA. Ingianni, F. Carta, A. Reina et al.In this study a possible relationship between the presence of type 2 diabetes (DM2) and the Human Herpesvirus 8 infection (HHV-8) has been evaluated. The presence of HHV-8 DNA was monitored by nested PCR and Southern blotting in peripheral blood leucocytes of DM2 patients admitted to the Diabetology and Metabolic Disease Service of the "S.

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEarly Detection of Endobacteria in Rhizopus spp.Ratna Noviyanti, Gayuh Rahayu, Rida Oktorida KhastiniRhizopus spp. are commonly used in bio-industrial processes such as manufacturing traditional fermented foods. However, one species, R. microsporus has been reported to contain toxin-producing endobacteria. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate the Rhizopus strains' safety before application as tempe inoculum. The study aimed to detect the presence of endobacteria from seven strains of Rhizopus spp. isolated from Tempe and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 23, Issue 3 · 24 Jun 2023 · 5,331 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordISOLATION AND DETECTION OF HELICOBACTER PYLORI FROM PATIENTS SUFFERING FROM PEPTIC ULCER USING BIOCHEMICAL TESTS AND MOLECULAR TECHNIQUESRuba S. Abu-Sbeih, Azmi D. Hawari, Dhia S. Hassawi, Hala I. Al-DaghistaniHelicobacter pylori is the causative agent of most cases of gastritis. There is no established gold standard for the diagnosis of H. pylori infection. A reliable diagnosis is crucial to confirm that eradication therapy has been successful. Eighty gastric biopsy and blood samples were obtained from fasting Jordanian patients with Esophago-Gastro-Doudenoscopy (EGD).
