The bibliometric analysis of previous twenty- five years' literature: A microfinance review.

The tremendous increase in publications in Microfinance since 2000 has highlighted need for and importance of innovative techniques to present big data in this field in a most informative, scientific, and summarized manner. The study highlights the trends and patterns of Microfinance literature by revealing what has been done and what could be done in future. The study comprises of 1429 microfinance publications extracted from the Scopus database.

Staphylococcal accessory gene regulator (sar) as a signature gene to detect enterotoxigenic staphylococci.

Aims: To evaluate the use of a staphylococcal accessory gene regulator (sar) as a means of detecting enterotoxigenic staphylococci.

Methods And Results: SarA gene-specific primers were designed and applied in PCR, which resulted in the detection of 49 sar-positive isolates from a total of 67 natural food isolates of staphylococci. Colony hybridization using PCR-generated Digoxigenin (DIG)-labelled sarA probe tested in spiked samples of khoa (a traditional heat-concentrated milk product) comprising a mixed microflora ensured the specificity of the probe.

Application of a convenient DNA extraction method and multiplex PCR for the direct detection of Staphylococcus aureus and Yersinia enterocolitica in milk samples.

The application of PCR for the direct and sensitive detection of food-borne pathogens is largely affected by the quality of the template DNA prepared from food samples. In the present study, a chemical extraction method of bacterial DNA from spiked milk samples for the direct detection of Staphylococcus aureus and Yersinia enterocolitica was evaluated by PCR. Gene specific primers were designed to target the nuclease (nuc) and the attachment invasion locus (ail) genes of S.

Detection of Bacillus cereus in foods by colony hybridization using PCR-generated probe and characterization of isolates for toxins by PCR.

Isolates of Bacillus cereus from traditional Indian foods were detected by colony hybridization using the PCR-generated phospholipase (PL-1) probe. In all, 29 isolates picked up by the probe were confirmed as B. cereus by conventional cultural and biochemical characteristics.
