DEVELOPMENT OF A GENUS-SPECIFIC BRUCELLA REAL-TIME PCR ASSAY TARGETING THE 16S-23S RDNA INTERNAL TRANSCRIBED SPACER FROM DIFFERENT SPECIMEN TYPES

Development of a Genus-Specific Brucella Real-Time PCR Assay Targeting the 16S-23S rDNA Internal Transcribed Spacer from Different Specimen Types

The aim of this study was to develop a 16S-23S ribosomal deoxyribonucleic acid internal transcribed spacer (ITS) quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assay for the early diagnosis and rapid screening of brucellosis.Blood, milk, and tissue samples were spiked with B.abortus biovar 1 (B01988-18 strain) to determine the analytical sensitivity

Anaerobic hydrocarbon and fatty acid metabolism by syntrophic bacteria and their impact on carbon steel corrosion

The microbial metabolism of hydrocarbons is increasingly associated with the corrosion of carbon steel in sulfate-rich marine waters.However, how such transformations influence metal biocorrosion in the absence of an electron acceptor is not fully recognized.We grew a marine alkane-utilizing, sulfate-reducing bacterium, Desulfoglaeba alkanexedens,

The 12 item Social and Economic Conservatism Scale (SECS).

Medical Gloves Recent years have seen a surge in psychological research on the relationship between political ideology (particularly conservatism) and cognition, affect, behaviour, and even biology.Despite this flurry of investigation, however, there is as yet no accepted, validated, and widely used multi-item scale of conservatism that is concise,
