Prevalence and heterogeneity of Hemolysin gene vhh among hatchery isolates of Vibrio harveyi in India
(Springer, 2009)
Vibrio harveyi, pathogenic to fish, harbor a hemolysin gene vhh, the homologues of which are found in many species of the Genus Vibrio. It is investigated that the prevalence of vhh gene among V. harveyi isolated from ...
Opisthorchis viverrini: Detection by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in human stool samples
(Elsevier, 2008)
A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was evaluated for detection of Opisthorchis viverrini eggs in the stool specimens of light and heavily infected individuals in Khon Kaen province of Thailand. A total of 75 fecal ...
A study on the effects of some laboratory-derived genetic mutations on biofilm formation by Listeria monocytogenes
(Springer, 2009)
Biofilms formed by the human pathogen Listeria monocytogenes in food-processing environments can be a potential source of contamination. In this study, we investigated the ability of L. monocytogenes wild type and its ...
Biochemical and molecular characterizaion of Bacillus pumilus isolated from coastal environment in Cochin, India
(Sociedade Brasileira de Microbiologia, 2009)
Bacillus species constitute a diverse group of bacteria widely distributed in soil and the aquatic environment. In this study, Bacillus strains isolated from the coastal environment of Cochin, India were identified by ...
Identification of a novel UDP-N-acetylglucosamine enolpyruvyl transferase (MurA) from Vibrio fischeri that confers high fosfomycin resistance in Escherichia coli
(Springer, 2009)
MurA [UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-NAG) enolpyruvyl transferase] is a key enzyme involved in bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan synthesis and a target for the antimicrobial agent fosfomycin, a structural analog of the MurA ...
