Al-Ramahi et al.Problem statement: Both M. genitalium and T. vaginalis were recognized as important cause of sexually transmitted infections in developed countries. This study investigated the prevalence of M. genitalium and T. vaginalis in general Jordanian patients and their role of causing genitourinary tract diseases. Approach: A cross sectional study of 383 Jordanian adult patients aged between 19-78 years were investigated for … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,456 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDifferential Gene Expression of Peroxide Resistant Protein (AhpC) in Planktonic and Biofilm State of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli CellsOmar Sadik Shalal, Ani-Simona SevastreThe gastrointestinal tract seems to be the primary reservoir of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) in humans. UPEC strains harbor the Urinary Tract (UT) and cause Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) which might represent a serious threat to human life. To counteract with the damage caused by the Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), bacterial strains produce various enzymes and proteins like Alkyl hydroperoxide … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 13 Oct 2023 · 5,324 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWhat is Missing in STD Screening in Hong Kong?Clement Leung-Kwok Chan, Wai Yee Chan, Christopher Hon Ki Cheng, Ping XiaThis retrospective analysis was to study the prevalence of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) in a Reproductive Medical Center in Hong Kong. A total of 1190 patients were included in this study. Group 1A, couples had no symptoms but presented with subinfertility; Group 1B, the subfertile couples were positive for either Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) or Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU); Group 2, couples … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 11 Jan 2017 · 8,407 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInhibition of Panton-Valentine Leukocidin Toxin Induced Neutrophil Cell Lysis by Vancoplus in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus InfectionsManu Chaudhary, Santosh Kumar Patnaik, Anurag PayasiPantone Valentine Leukocidin (PVL) is a cytotoxin associated with virulence of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). This study was undertaken to analyze the prevalence of PVL among MRSA strains and to study the effect of adjuvants (L-lysine, L-arginine, Ethylenediamine Tetraacetic Acid (EDTA) as well as drugs on PVL induced neutrophil cell lysis. Further, in vitro activity of Vancoplus, vancomycin, linezolid, teicoplanin … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 20 Dec 2014 · 7,106 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDETECTION OF MYCOPLASMA HOMINIS IN PATIENTS WITH URINARY TRACT INFECTIONSOsama M.S. Abdul-Wahab, Mishari H. Al-Shyarba, Mohammed M. AssiryMycoplasma hominis is one of the well known genital mycoplasma agent that has been recognized as potentially pathogenic species and associated with various infectious diseases in adult men and woman. The organism could cause pelvic inflammatory disease, postpartum, postabortion fever and pyelonephritis. The Aim of this prospective study was to detemine the occurrence and prevalence of Mycoplasma hominis in patients … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 14 May 2014 · 8,283 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRapid Real Time PCR Based Detection of Cell Count in Case of Urinary Tract InfectionPoulomi Nandy, Ashoke Ranjan Thakur, Shaon Ray ChaudhuriMicrobial identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing methods currently used in clinical microbiology laboratories require at least two to three days because they rely on the growth and isolation of micro-organisms. This long, but necessary, delay has enormous consequences on prophylactic usage of antimicrobial drugs. This study was an attempt to reduce this detection time span. Taq Man Real Time PCR … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2013 · 8,214 accessesView PDFCite
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 abstractRole of Progranulin Gene Expression as a Molecular Biomarker for Bladder CancerSalwa M. Abo El-khair, Mie A. Mohamed, Tamer E. AlkhiaryBladder cancer is the second most common cancer of the urinary system. Early diagnosis of this tumor and estimation of risk of future progression has a significant impact on prognosis.
