Population studies have recently revealed that some of the major clonal lineages of Toxoplasma gondii dominate in different geographical areas. The lineage of Type II and III are widespread in all continents and dominate in Europe, Africa and North America. In addition, type 12 lineage is the most common type of wildlife in North America, Africa 1 and 3 is one of the main species in Africa, and ToxoDB PCR-RFLP # 9 is the kind of big in China. Overall strains of T. gondii were more diverse in South America than any other region. Here, we analyzed 164 isolates of T. gondii from three Central American countries (Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica), from one country in the Caribbean (Grenada) and five countries of South America (Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Chile, and Argentina ).
The multilocous polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) genotyping based on 11 polymorphic markers (SAG1, SAG2, alt.SAG2, SAG3, BtuB, GRA6, L358, PK1, C22-8, C29-2 and Apico) applied for 148 domestic poultry (Gallus domesticus) isolates and 16 isolates from the domestic cat (Felis catus) in Colombia; 42 genotypes were identified. Linkage disequilibrium analysis showed genetic recombination more frequently in populations of Nicaragua and Colombia, and to a lesser degree in the population of Costa Rica and Argentina. Bayesian structural analysis identified at least three groups of genetic and phylogenetic network analysis identifies four main groups. The ToxoDB PCR-RFLP # 7, Type III and II major lineages identified from Central and South America, with a high frequency of ToxoDB PCR-RFLP # 7 and Type III is closely related lineages.
direct molecular blood test for early Lyme disease can not be sensitive because of the low number of outstanding Borrelia burgdorferi DNA. To address these challenges, we have developed a strategy and genotype sensitive to detect B. burgdorferi directly from whole blood collected during the initial patient visit. This strategy increases sensitivity by using 1.25 mL of whole blood, a novel pre-enrichment of the entire specimen extracts to Borrelia multi-locus DNA prior to PCR and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry detection assay. We evaluate the blood test were collected at initial presentation of 21 patients of endemic areas who have both physician-diagnosed erythema migrans (EM) and serology two positive level either at baseline or follow-up visit after three weeks of antibiotic therapy.
Molecular genotyping of Toxoplasma gondii from Central and South America revealed high diversity within and between populations.
molecular genotyping of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus through enhanced fluorofor repetitive-sequence-PCR.
methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus is a frequent cause of nosocomial infections and community acquired. Accurate, fast epidemiological typing is very important to identify the source and spread of infectious diseases and can provide detailed information about the generation of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains. A high level of genetic linkage strains of MRSA have barred the use of the more conventional methods of genetic fingerprinting. A DNA fingerprinting method that exploit the rapid PCR amplification of repetitive DNA sequences in MRSA described.

Description: Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is also known as Colony stimulating factor 2 (granulocyte-macrophage), is a cytokine initially characterized by its ability to induce colonies of granulocytes and macrophages from myeloid progenitor cells, and is secreted by macrophages, T cells, mast cells, endothelial cells and fibroblasts. GM-CSF is a cytokine that functions as a white blood cell growth factor. GM-CSF stimulates stem cells to produce granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils) and monocytes. Monocytes exitthe circulation and migrate into tissue, whereupon they mature into macrophages and dendritic cells. Thus, it is part of the immune/inflammatory cascade, by which activation of a small number of macrophages can rapidly lead to an increase in their numbers, a process crucial for fighting infection. The active form of the protein is found extracellularly as a homodimer. Human GM-CSF glycosylated in its mature form. As a part of the immune/inflammatory cascade, GM-CSF promotes Th1 biased immune response, angiogenesis, allergic inflammation, and the development of autoimmunity, and thus worthy of consideration for therapeutic target. GM-CSF has also recently been evaluated in clinical trials for its potential as a vaccine adjuvant in HIV-infected patients. The preliminary results have been promising. GM-CSF is also used as a medication to stimulate the production of white blood cells following chemotherapy.
Description: Human GM-CSF is a 24 kDa glycoprotein produced by a variety of cell types, including T and B lymphocytes, macrophages, keratinocytes, eosinophils, neutrophils, and endothelial cells in response to cytokine or inflammatory stimuli. GM-CSF was initially identified on the basis of its capacity to stimulate the clonal proliferation of myeloid precursors in vitro. GM-CSF promotes a Th1 biased immune response, allergic inflammation, and the development of autoimmunity. GM-CSF are particularly effective as antitumor vaccines. GM-CSF regulates multiple biological activities through activation of the GM-CSF receptor (GMCSFR), a member of the type I cytokine receptor group comprising alpha and beta subunits.
