Regions of differences encoded antigens as targets for immunodiagnosis of tuberculosis in humans.

29 Sep 2009 Tuberculosis is one of the major global health problems causing nearly 2 million deaths every year. It continues to be a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in developing countries. Accurate early diagnosis and proper treatment can control the ... Read more...

Comparison between the Vitek Immunodiagnostic Assay System and PCR for the detection of pathogenic microorganisms in an experimental dry sausage during its curing process.

30 Aug 2009 The comparison between the Vitek Immunodiagnostic Assay System (VIDAS) and PCR methods for the detection of the pathogenic microorganisms Salmonella Typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Clostridium perfringens, and ... Read more...

Peptides of a novel Mycobacterium tuberculosis-specific cell wall protein for immunodiagnosis of tuberculosis.

13 Aug 2009 The sequencing of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis genome revealed the existence of several genes encoding novel proteins with unknown functions, one of which is the proline-threonine repetitive protein (PTRP; Rv0538). Genomic studies of various ... Read more...
