A Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Assay Utilizing Hydroxy Naphthol Blue (LAMP-HNB) for the Detection of Subspp. .

subspp. is a spirochaete bacterium that causes syphilis, one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases. Syphilis progresses through four distinct stages, each characterized by specific symptoms, namely primary, secondary, latent, and late (tertiary) syphilis.

Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Assay Using Gold Nanoparticles for Detecting subspp. .

Background: Venereal syphilis in humans is caused by subspp. . A study has shown that 30,302 individuals in Thailand had syphilis in 2020, with a male-to-female ratio of 1:0.

Molecular characterization of extended-spectrum cephalosporin and fluoroquinolone resistance genes in and isolated from clinical specimens in Thailand.

Antimicrobial resistance of and has become a major clinical and public health problem. The incident of co-resistance to third generation cephalosporins and fluoroquinolone is a serious therapeutic issue in Thailand. The present study aimed to investigate the antimicrobial resistance and molecular character of clinical and isolates.

Development of Duplex LAMP Technique for Detection of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV) and Porcine Circovirus Type 2 (PCV 2).

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) and porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) are both important global pathogenic viruses which have a significant impact on the swine industry. In this study, a duplex loop-mediated isothermal amplification (duplex LAMP) method was developed in combination with lateral flow dipstick (LFD) for simultaneous detection of PEDV and PCV2 using specific sets of primers and probes designed based on the conserved regions of a spike gene (KF272920) and an ORF gene (EF493839), respectively. The limit of detection (LOD) values of the duplex LAMP-LFD for the detection of PEDV and PCV2 were 0.

Culturally Tailored and Community-Based Social Media Intervention to Promote Organ Donation Awareness among Asian Americans: "Heart of Gold".

Organ donation disparities among ethnic minorities have persisted for decades, especially among Asian Americans (AAs). AAs represent a substantial proportion of the national transplant waitlist but have historically had the lowest organ donation rate in the United States. Community based and culturally tailored (CBCT) interventions are needed to increase donor designation within AA communities.
