In gene-bank maize collection of Maize Research Institute Zemun Polje (MRI) two samples with untypical mtDNA profile for cytoplasmic male sterility (cms) were identified. These two samples showed typical multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) band for cms-S, but also an additional band of unknown nature. It is assumed that the additional band is the result of a rearrangement of the two mitochondrial episomes characteristic for the cms-S in maize or a duplication of the part of cms-S mitochondrial genome. Additional field and laboratory experiments are necessary in the further lightening of this phenomenon.

Identification and production of onion male-sterile and maintainer lines by conventional breeding takes between 4 to 8 years, due in part to the biennial nature of onion. In addition, male sterile plants and maintainer genotypes occur at a very low frequency in onion populations (Pike, 1986). A significantly shorter and more efficient alternative involves the screening of breeding lines for cytoplasmic male sterility using PCR-based technology. Thirty short-day onion breeding lines from the Texas A&M onion program were screened for type of cytoplasm (normal or sterile). Specific amplification of a fragment of chloroplast genome was achieved using the polymerase chain reaction according to Havey (1991). Forty-eight individual onion plants were screened per line. Out of thirty lines evaluated, 13 showed 100% sterile cytoplasm, 6 showed 100% normal cytoplasm, and 11 showed both types of cytoplasm. Lines showing normal cytoplasm or both cytoplasmic types were kept and reanalyzed. Only plants presenting normal cytoplasm were grown to maturity to help in the identification of maintainer lines as part of the Texas A&M onion breeding program.

Infection Bactérienne

Les pneumonies acquises à l’hôpital (PAH) sont fréquentes. À l’ère des techniques diagnostiques de biologie moléculaire (multiplex polymerase chain reaction), les rares données disponibles estiment que les virus respiratoires sont impliqués dans 22 à 32 % des épisodes. Les patients immunodéprimés constituent probablement la population la plus à risque. La présentation clinique et radiologique ne diffère pas entre pneumonies bactériennes, virales et mixtes (virus–bactérie). L’excrétion prolongée de virus respiratoires dans les voies aériennes a été rapportée chez les patients immunodéprimés. Elle pourrait promouvoir la co-infection bactérienne, associée à des durées d’hospitalisation prolongées. L’acquisition intrahospitalière a été démontrée chez tous les virus respiratoires. Elle encourage la mise en œuvre et le respect des mesures d’hygiène et de confinement, dans l’objectif de protéger soignants, visiteurs et patients. De nombreux points restent largement méconnus, relatifs aux interactions entre virus respiratoires et pathogènes non viraux, aux périodes d’incubation, ou encore aux durées d’excrétion virale. L’amélioration des techniques diagnostiques et l’accumulation de données épidémiologiques et cliniques devraient permettre de mieux appréhender le rôle des virus respiratoires dans les PAH. Cette meilleure connaissance aidera à rationaliser l’utilisation des tests de détection et facilitera l’interprétation de leurs résultats. Elle guidera aussi le clinicien dans l’utilisation future des nombreuses molécules antivirales actuellement en développement clinique chez l’homme.

Introduction: The aim of the current study was to investigate the prevalence of virulence genes in uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) isolates in Ilam. Materials and Methods: For this purpose, a total of 80 UPEC isolates were collected for patients with UTIs during a 6 months period. The multiplex polymerase chain reaction (multiplex PCR) was used to detect the papEF, fimH, iucD, hlyA, fyuA, and ompT genes. Results: The prevalence of fimH, papEF, iucD, fyuA, hlyA, hlyA, and ompT genes were 87.5%, 47.5%, 60%, 67.5%, 27.5%, 47.5% and 71.2%, respectively. Among all of the isolates, 27 profiles were obtained. Conclusion: Our findings demonstrated that the most prevalence was found for fimH, and different distribution of virulence genes suggested different ability of pathogenicity.
