Trichinellosis is a zoonotic disease caused by the ingestion of Trichinella nematode. With worldwide incidence approximately 10,000 cases per year, spiralis responsible for most human infections. There are no specific signs or symptoms this parasitic infection. Muscle biopsy gold diagnostic standard trichinellosis, but technique invasive and unable to detect early stage Although immunodiagnostics also available, antibody detection usually occurs after 3 weeks prolonged up 19 years acute...
Oncomelania hupensis quadrasi is the intermediate host of S. japonicum, causative species for schistosomiasis in Philippines. The World Health Organization promotes snail control with molluscicides, physical removal, and environmental modification to eliminate this neglected tropical disease as a public health problem. Conventionally, risk areas are identified by series malacological surveys, microscopic testing, stool collection confirm transmission humans. However, these procedures require...
Oncomelania hupensis quadrasi is the intermediate host of S. japonicum, causative species schistosomiasis in Philippines. Conventionally, risk areas are identified by procedures requiring highly skilled personnel and constant surveillance efforts. Recent developments disease diagnostics explore utilization environmental DNA as targets for polymerase chain reactions surveillance. In this study, a low-cost, specific, efficient SYBR Green-based real-time PCR assay to detect O. h. from water...
Bees are important pollinators in agriculture. The bee population has recently begun to decline possibly due pesticides. gut microbiota strongly influences the health of bees. bees is composed distinct members belonging selective taxa. Chemicals like pesticides can alter microbiota. present study investigated effect carbaryl on honey bees, which had come contact with rapeseed plants (Brassica napus) sprayed wettable powder during brood test under semi-field condition. Molecular techniques...
Abstract Antibiotic resistance in soil environment has eminently been compared and studied between agricultural pristine soils, the role of concentrated animal feeding operations markedly recognized as one major sources antibiotic resistance. This study described tetracycline small-scale farms pursuit presenting its possible contribution to persistence environment. Results would render additional information on occurrence ribosomal protection protein (RPP) tet genes among isolated bacteria...
During 2013-2016, we isolated blaNDM- and blaVIM-harboring Enterobacteriaceae nonfermentative bacteria from patients in the Philippines. Of 130 carbapenem-resistant isolates tested, 45 were Carba NP-positive; 43 harbored blaNDM, 2 blaVIM. Multidrug-resistant microbial pathogen surveillance antimicrobial drug stewardship are needed to prevent further spread of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase variants.
Mekong schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease caused by blood flukes in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic and Cambodia. The standard method for diagnosis of detection parasite eggs from patient samples. However, this not sufficient to detect asymptomatic patients, low egg numbers, or early infection. Therefore, diagnostic methods with higher sensitivity at stage are needed fill gap. aim study was identify potential biomarkers using an untargeted metabolomics approach. Serum uninfected S....
Abstract Introduction: About one third of the world population is estimated to be infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), and this proportion expected higher in countries a high (TB) burden. The Philippines both burden multidrug resistant (MDR-TB) country. Though TB has been extensively described civilian population, there limited data on military population. objectives are: (1) To determine MTB/MDR-TB prevalence among patients presenting clinically suspected tertiary hospital (2)...
Abstract Gnathostomiasis is a food-borne zoonotic disease that can affect humans who eat improperly cooked meat containg infective third-stage larvae. Definitive diagnosis through larval recovery. However, this an invasive technique and impractical if the larvae have encysted in inaccessible areas of body. Antigen or antibody detection might be more interesting techniques for diagnosis. Proteomic could elucidate diagnostic markers improve our understanding parasite biology. proteomic studies...
We report the complete genome sequence of selenate [Se(VI)]-reducing Shigella sonnei SE6-1, which was isolated from stream sediment an industrial complex in Jeonju, South Korea. The is 4,762,774 bp long, with a G+C content 50.7% and 4,548 genes, including 4,440 coding sequences, 22 rRNA 86 tRNA genes.

BACKGROUND: Towards achievement of sustainable agriculture, using microbial inoculants may present promising alternatives without adverse environmental effects; however, there are challenging issues that should be addressed in terms effectiveness and ecology.Viability stability the bacterial would one major pesticide uses, changes within indigenous communities by an important factor influencing soil ecology.Here we investigated introduced strains soils planted with barley its effect on...
