In Mycobacterium smegmatis and a limited number ofMycobacterium tuberculosis strains, the
involvement of alterations of the 16S rRNA gene (rrs) in resistance to kanamycin has been …

Using 39 clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains with a broad range of
susceptibility to rifampicin, we examined the relationship between the degree of resistance to …

The nucleotide sequences of genes encoding the thermostable direct (TSD) hemolysin and
the thermolabile (TL) hemolysin of Vibrio parahaemolyticus were determined. From the …

Background Molecular biological modalities with better detection rates have been applied
to identify the bacteria causing infectious diseases. Approximately 10–48% of bacterial …

Two hemolysin genes of Vibrio parahaemolyticus WP1, a thermostable direct (TSD)
hemolysin gene and a thermolabile hemolysin gene, were cloned into the pBR322 vector in …

Culture-independent methods to detect microorganisms have been developed in parallel
with traditional culture-based methods ever since the classification of bacteria based on 16S …
