Machine learning performance in a microbial molecular autopsy context: A cross-sectional postmortem human population study.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: The postmortem microbiome can provide valuable information to a death investigation and to the human health of the once living. Microbiome sequencing produces, in general, large multi-dimensional datasets that can be difficult to analyze ...

Rapid microarray-based assay for detection of pyrazinamide resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Diagnostic microbiology and infectious disease
Pyrazinamide (PZA) is a key antibiotic for the treatment of drug susceptible tuberculosis. PZA-resistance is mainly mediated by mutations in the pncA gene; however the current gold standard is a phenotypic drug susceptibility test requiring a well-ad...

Antimicrobial Characteristics of Lactic Acid Bacteria Isolated from Homemade Fermented Foods.

BioMed research international
. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated from fermented foods, such as glutinous rice dough, corn noodle, chili sauce, potherb mustard pickles, and stinky tofu, in northeast China. LAB strains with antimicrobial activities were screened, and seven ...

Novel ELISA based on fluorescent quenching of DNA-stabilized silver nanoclusters for detecting E. coli O157:H7.

Food chemistry
Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7) is a potential threat to human health; thus, a rapid and sensitive method for detecting it is necessary. We designed a single-stranded DNA that contained an appended block and anchoring block. The appended b...

Mutations associated with change of susceptibility to lincosamides and/or macrolides in field and laboratory-derived Mycoplasma californicum strains in Japan, and development of a rapid detection method for these mutations.

Veterinary microbiology
Five mutations involved in changing of susceptibility to lincosamides and/or macrolides were investigated in field isolates of Mycoplasma californicum in Japan, and reconfirmed in laboratory-derived mutants. In addition, a quick and easy detection me...

First study in Qatar to reveal high Legionella counts in cooling towers.

Eastern Mediterranean health journal = La revue de sante de la Mediterranee orientale = al-Majallah al-sihhiyah li-sharq al-mutawassit
Legionella spp. is transmitted from water to humans by aerosol-generating devices, including cooling towers (CTs). There have not been published reports about Legionella in these systems in Qatar. Ten CTs in Qatar University were sampled on a monthly...

Designing primers and evaluation of the efficiency of propidium monoazide - Quantitative polymerase chain reaction for counting the viable cells of Lactobacillus gasseri and Lactobacillus salivarius.

Journal of food and drug analysis
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of using propidium monoazide (PMA) real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to count the viable cells of Lactobacillus gasseri and Lactobacillus salivarius in probiotic products. ...

Comparison of Boiling and Robotics Automation Method in DNA Extraction for Metagenomic Sequencing of Human Oral Microbes.

PloS one
The rapid improvement of next-generation sequencing performance now enables us to analyze huge sample sets with more than ten thousand specimens. However, DNA extraction can still be a limiting step in such metagenomic approaches. In this study, we a...

Artificial Intelligence for the Evaluation of Operational Parameters Influencing Nitrification and Nitrifiers in an Activated Sludge Process.

Microbial ecology
Nitrification at a full-scale activated sludge plant treating municipal wastewater was monitored over a period of 237 days. A combination of fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) were use...
