Objective: To evaluate if the use of the 19 Leptospira strains panel suggested by the International Leptospirosis Society of World Health Organization for microagglutination allows confirmation of more cases that the 12 strains panel used in Argentina.
Materials And Methods: Cross-sectional observational study. We studied 441 serum samples corresponding to Argentinean patients with suspected leptospirosis derived during from July to December, 2009 and from January to October, 2013.

In this study, a simple and rapid method was developed to transform protein A producing Staphylococcus aureus cells into red color and red fluorescent nanobioparticles, which were homogeneous, dispersive and relatively stable with a uniform size of 800 nm. The method consists of reaction with a monotetrazolium redox dye at 25°C for 15 min and heat inactivation at 65°C for 30 min. This method provided the first S.

The toluene-degrading bacterium Acinetobacter sp. Tol 5 shows a highly adhesive and autoagglutinating nature through cell surface nanofibers. In the present study, various aspects of the adhesiveness of Tol 5 cells were evaluated, namely, the association with biofilm formation, the specificity, and the effects of additives.

Objective: To study the predominant Neisseria gonorrhoeae strain types in Pakistan and to evaluate their correlation with fluoroquinolone resistance.
Method: A total of 314 strains were collected from 2007-2009. Of these 112 strains were randomly selected for serotyping via the coagglutination technique.

Microsporidiosis is an emerging and opportunistic infection associated with wide range of clinical syndromes in humans. Confirmation of the presence of microsporidia in different samples is laborious, costly and often difficult. The present study was designed to evaluate the utility of the Co-agglutination test (Co-A test) for detection of urinary, fecal and circulating microsporidial antigens in experimentally infected mice.
