The characterization of therapeutic phage genomes plays a crucial role in the success rate therapies. There are three checkpoints that need to be examined for selection candidates, namely, presence temperate markers, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes, and virulence genes. However, currently, no single-step tools available this purpose. Hence, we have developed tool capable checking all conditions required suitable candidates. This consists an ensemble machine-learning-based predictors...

Staphylococcus aureus is a major human pathogen, especially methicillin-resistant S. (MRSA), which causes wide range of hospital and community-acquired infections worldwide. Conventional testing for detection MRSA takes 2–5 days to yield complete information the organism its antibiotic sensitivity pattern. The present study focused on development pentaplex PCR assay rapid MRSA. simultaneously detected five genes, namely 16S rRNA genus, fem A aureus, mec that encodes methicillin resistance,...

Chimeric antigen receptor-natural killer (CAR-NK) cell therapy is a novel immunotherapy targeting cancer cells via the generation of chimeric receptors on NK which recognize specific antigens. CAR-NK gaining attention nowadays owing to ability release potent cytotoxicity against without side effects such as cytokine syndrome (CRS), neurotoxicity and graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). do not require priming, thus enabling them be used “off-the-shelf” therapy. Nonetheless, still possesses...

Nonprotein-coding RNAs (npcRNAs) represent an important class of regulatory molecules that act in many cellular pathways. Here, we describe the experimental identification and validation small npcRNA transcriptome human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. We identified 630 novel candidates. Based on sequence structural motifs, 43 them belong to C/D H/ACA-box subclasses nucleolar (snoRNAs) Cajal body-specific (scaRNAs). further observed exonization a functional H/ACA snoRNA gene, which...

Complete genomes of xenobiotic-degrading microorganisms provide valuable resources for researchers to understand molecular mechanisms involved in bioremediation. Despite the well-known ability Sphingomonas paucimobilis degrade persistent xenobiotic compounds, a complete genome sequencing is lacking this organism. In line with this, we report first sequence (strain AIMST S2), an organophosphate and hydrocarbon-degrading bacterium isolated from oil-polluted soil at Kedah, Malaysia. The was...

Vibrio cholerae has caused severe outbreaks of cholera worldwide with thousands recorded deaths annually. Molecular diagnosis for become increasingly important rapid detection as the conventional methods are time-consuming and labour intensive. However, traditional PCR tests still require cold-chain transportation storage well trained personnel to perform, which makes them user-unfriendly. The aim this study was develop a thermostabilized triplex test is in ready-to-use form requires no cold...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder defined by progressive deterioration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc). Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) have been proposed to replace degenerated due its inherent neurogenic and regenerative potential. However, effective delivery homing DPSCs within lesioned brain has one many obstacles faced cell-based therapy disorders. We hypothesized that DPSCs, delivered intranasally, could circumvent these...

Objectives This study examines the presence of EpsteinBarr virus (EBV) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) Study Design Eighty‐six postnasal biopsy samples and 71 fine‐needle aspirate neck masses were obtained from patients who clinically suspect for NPC. Genomic DNA was extracted samples, EBNA1, EBNA2, LMP genes EBV detected PCR. PCR results compared with NPC histopathology findings. Results The sensitivity to detect EBNA1 (97.14%), EBNA2 (88.57%),...
