is a gram-negative aerobic bacterium that can be found in different environments, such as food, containing vegetables, meat, and fish; moreover, it can be present in soil and freshwater. has globally considered an opportunistic nosocomial bacterium in the healthcare setting contributing to increased morbidity and mortality. The current study aimed to detect the aminoglycoside genes in isolated from different clinical causes. In total, 20 isolates of were obtained from different clinical cases. Bacterial isolate DNA was extracted using a DNA extraction kit. Quantus Fluorometer was used to detect the concentration of the extracted DNA in order to detect the goodness of samples. 1 μl of DNA and 199 μl of diluted QuantiFlour Dye were mixed. After 5 min incubation at room temperature, DNA concentration values were evaluated, and following the initial amplification of the gene, 20 μl of PCR product with F and R primers were sent to Sanger sequencing. The results of the antimicrobial susceptibility revealed that isolates were resistant to Gentamicin (95%), Amikacin (90%), and Tobramycin (60%). Molecular investigation of the and genes exhibited that the gene was detected in 15% of the isolates. However, the gene was not detected in any of the isolates. The gel electrophoresis revealed that the molecular weight of the gene was 490bp. The DNA sequence of the gene was conducted in this study, and the results exhibited no mutations in all isolates.

Introduction: The extent to which commercially available nucleic acid extraction platforms impact the magnitude of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA loads measured in plasma specimens by 1st WHO standard-normalized real-time PCR assays is uncertain.

Methods: This retrospective study compares the performance of Abbott m2000sp, Qiagen QIAsymphony SP, and KingFisher Flex platforms using plasma samples from allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients and plasma spiked with the CMV AD169 strain. The Abbott RealTime CMV PCR assay was used for CMV DNA quantitation.

Tuberculosis (TB) is the second deadliest infectious disease worldwide. Current TB diagnostics utilize sputum samples, which are difficult to obtain, and sample processing is time-consuming and difficult. This study developed an integrated diagnostic platform for the rapid visual detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) in breath samples at the point-of-care (POC), especially in resource-limited settings.

Aims: Apical Periodontitis (AP) involves complex interactions between the root canal microbiome and the host immune response, with potential risk of local and systemic inflammatory burden, however there is no evidence available regarding correlation between microbiome and inflammatory marker levels. This study aims to identify the microbiome of saliva, intracanal and blood samples in AP subjects and investigate the correlation between intracanal and blood microbiomes with serum inflammatory biomarker levels, and salivary microbiomes with salivary inflammatory biomarker levels.

Methodology: Saliva, Intracanal and blood samples were collected from AP patients undergoing root canal retreatment.

Our previous studies revealed the existence of a Universal Receptive System that regulates interactions between cells and their environment. This system is composed of DNA- and RNA-based Teazeled receptors (TezRs) found on the surface of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, as well as integrases and recombinases. In the current study, we aimed to provide further insight into the regulatory role of TezR and its loss in Staphylococcus aureus gene transcription.

Background: Synthesis of organic@inorganic hNFs is achieved by the coordination of organic compounds containing amine, amide, and diol groups with bivalent metals. The use of bio-extracts containing these functional groups instead of expensive organic inputs such as DNA, enzymes, and protein creates advantages in terms of cost and applicability. In this study, the application potentials (antioxidant, antibacterial, anticancer, guaiacol, anionic, and cationic dye degradation) of hybrid (organic@inorganic) nanoflowers (hNFs) synthesized with Cu and snakeskin (SSS) were proposed.
