Campylobacter infections are a major cause of diarrhoea world-wide and two the antimicrobials used for their control (erythromycin ciprofloxacin) have been losing efficacy in recent years. In sample 174 genotyped isolates from stools patients with severe Qatar, collected between 2005 2012, 63.2% showed resistance to ciprofloxacin, 8.6% erythromycin, 0.57% chloramphenicol all were sensitive gentamycin. While 33.9% four antimicrobials, 59.8% resistant at least one, 6.3% none three...
Oral vaccines have several attractive features; however, due to challenges, date, only a limited number of oral are licensed. Over the past two decades, vehicle delivery systems been developed address these challenges and deliver antigens target cells in mucosal immune system. While size systems, quantity components formulation, dose administration, even type animals species, important aspects development suitable vaccine, our results showed that entrapment inactivated Vibrio cholera,...
"Golden" standard laboratory diagnostic tests for enteric pathogens are generally time and labor intensive. Over the last ten years, advances in molecular biology have paved way development of highly specific sensitive real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) detection assays. Worldwide adoption RT-PCR machines lowered cost conducting such assays to where it became tool pathogens. Herein, we developed a method screen stool specimens from food workers housemaids Qatar presence several...
