Protease enzyme is an enzyme that is important in protein breakdown. Animals, plants as well as microorganisms such as bacteria can produce this protease enzyme. In its application protease enzymes can be used in the pharmaceutical industry, detergent industry, skin products as well as food products. Tempe is one of the traditional food products that have been known for a long time, tempeh is made from soybean seeds fermented by mushrooms. Molecular identification can use polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method, PCR is the process of multiplying a certain nucleotide sequence using enzymatic processes in vitro. The presence of protein content in tempeh can be possible the presence of bacteria that can break down proteins in the tempeh, especially tempeh that has been fermented about 48-72 hours. Based on the results of characterization and identification of 5 isolates of tempeh post-fermentation 72 hours, positive results of protease enzymes found in isolate TPLP-1, TPLP-2 and TPLP-5, with the largest zone diameter in isolate TPLP-2 50 mm, then isolate with the highest protease enzyme activity isolate TPLP-2 molecularly identified by identifying the gene 16S rRNA which is subsequently included in the BLAST program and obtained by isolate TPLP-2 identified as Pseudomons stuastzeri.

This study was carried out to screen the prevalence of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from patients with lower respiratory tract infections in Babylon province.From December,2015 to the end of March,2016,a total of 100 sputum samples were collected from patients visited or hospitalized Merjan Teaching Hospital and Al- Hashimya General Hospital. Fifteenth (65%) isolates were identified as Klebsiellapneumoniae. All bacterial isolates were evaluated for extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) production phenotypically using disk combination method. Eleven (73.3%) isolates were detected as ESBL-producers. Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method was employed to determine resistance profile of ESBLs-positive isolates. Higher rates of resistance were observed for ampicillin and piperacillin antibiotics with (81.8%) and (72.7%) resistance rate, respectively, while the lowest rate was noticed for imipenem antibiotic (14.28%). Carbapenem-resistant isolates were investigated for blaSHV gene by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method, 2 (100%) isolates gave positive results.

Bacteroides forsythus has been shown to be prevalent among patients with periodontitis. Conventional microbiological methods used to identify this bacterium, however, are laborious and time-consuming and are therefore not well-suited for screening purposes. We have developed a polymerase chain-reaction (PCR) method which is rapid, specific, and simple to perform and does not require other sample pre-treatment except a brief centrifugation. This method was applied to the detection of B. forsythus in subgingival plaque of 58 periodontitis patients. When compared with the results of conventional culturing, the PCR method always confirmed the culture-positive results, while none of the PCR negative samples was shown to be culture-positive. The PCR method appeared to give more than double the number of samples positive for B. forsythus than culturing (89.7% vs. 37.9%). The analysis requires less than 4 hrs to perform, and is specific only to B. forsythus and sensitive enough to detect fewer than 5 bacteria.

The outbreak of the new human coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (also known as 2019-nCoV) continues to increase globally. The real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) is the most used technique in virus detection. However, possible false-negative and false-positive results produce misleading consequences, making it necessary to improve existing methods. Here, we developed a multiplex rRT-PCR diagnostic method, which targets two viral genes (RdRP and E) and one human gene (RP) simultaneously. The reaction was tested by using pseudoviral RNA and human target mRNA sequences as a template. Also, the protocol was validated by using 14 clinical SARS-CoV-2 positive samples. The results are in good agreement with the CDC authorized Cepheid`s Xpert® Xpress SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic system (100%). Unlike single gene targeting strategies, the current method provides the amplification of two viral regions in the same PCR reaction. Therefore, an accurate SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic assay was provided, which allows testing of 91 samples in 96-well plates in per run. Thanks to this strategy, fast, reliable, and easy-to-use rRT-PCR method is obtained to diagnose SARS-CoV-2.

We compared the effectiveness of three PCR protocols for the detection ofBifidobacterium adolescentisand one PCR protocol for detectingBacteroidalesas indicators of human fecal pollution in environmental samples. Quantitative PCR indicated that a higher concentration ofB. adolescentisDNA was recovered from sewage samples on the 0.2 μm filters compared to the 0.45 μm filters, and there was no evidence of qPCR inhibitors in the DNA extracts. With the Matsuki method (1999),B. adolescentiswas detected only in undiluted sewage samples. The King method (2007) performed well and detectedB. adolescentisin all of the sewage dilutions (from undiluted to10−4). In contrast, the Bonjoch approach (2004) was effective at detectingB. adolescentisat lower dilutions (10−3) of sewage samples and it gave false positive results with some (3/8) pig fecal samples. Human-specificBacteroidales(HuBacs) were detected in the lower diluents of sewage samples but was positive in pig (6/8) and cattle fecal samples. PCR detection ofB. adolescentisin marine samples from Puerto Rico and freshwater samples from Georgia indicated that the PCR method of King et al. (2007) and the modified Layton method for HuBac were in agreement in detecting human fecal pollution in most sites.

Incomplete reprogramming of the donor cell nucleus after nuclear transfer (NT) probably leads to the abnormal expression of developmentally important genes. This may be responsible for the low efficiency of cloned animal production. Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) and IGF2 receptor (IGF2R) are imprinted genes that play important roles in preimplantation development. To obtain an insight into abnormal gene expression after nuclear transfer, we assessed the transcription patterns of IGF2-IGF2R in single in vitro fertilised and cloned embryos by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). IGF2R expression did not differ significantly but IGF2 was more highly expressed in cloned embryos than in IVF embryos (p < 0.05). This was confirmed by a quantitative RT-PCR method. Thus, incomplete reprogramming may induce abnormal transcription of IGF2 in cloned embryos.

Background: The present study is an evaluation of a self-collected urine dip (SCUD) swab as an alternative sampling method for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) in urine samples that conforms to postal service regulations in Australia. Methods: Sixty urine samples, previously identified as CT positive were used to prepare SCUD swabs in vitro. In addition, replicate SCUD swabs were prepared from known CT positive urine samples and stored at room temperature, or sent through the postal system. All samples were tested for CT and an inhibition control using the Roche TaqMan 48 Real-time polymerase chain reaction system. Results: Overall, 58/60 (97%) SCUD swabs generated positive CT results. Triplicate SCUD swabs prepared from five known positive urine samples and stored up to 7 days at room temperature, showed positive results in all samples. Ten replicates of SCUD swabs from five known CT positive samples were also tested after being posted from different regions in Australia, with a transit time of 2–7 days, back to the Melbourne laboratory. There was 94% positivity of the SCUD swab samples. Conclusion: The present study demonstrated SCUD swabs to be a sensitive and robust method of self-collecting samples for detection of CT subsequent to sending the samples through the postal service.

Escherichia coli O157: H7 is the main cause of foodborne disease in several countries, one of which is diarrhea. Diarrheal disease is still a major problem in Indonesia that needs treatment and study from various aspects. The conventional method of laboratory examination such as culture is a method that is often carried out, but in making the diagnosis requires a long time, the number of samples is large, and the results are less accurate because contamination can occur. Another more accurate technique for detecting Escherichia coli O157: H7 is the PCR technique. This study aims to identify the Escherichia coli O157: H7 bacteria by culture method and PCR. The results showed that the culture method and PCR of 8 isolated samples 4 showed positive results for the bacterium Escherichia coli O157: H7. However, the PCR method is more selective and faster than the culture method.

SummaryChristmas disease was first reported as a distinct clinical entity in two manuscripts published in 1952 (1, 2). The eponym associated with this disorder, is the surname of the first patient examined in detail and reported by Biggs and colleagues in a paper describing the clinical and laboratory features of seven affected individuals (3). This patient has severe factor IX coagulant deficiency (less than 0.01 units/ml) and no detectable circulating factor IX antigen (less than 0.01 units/ml). Coding sequence and splice junctions of the factor IX gene from this patient have been amplified in vitro through the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). One nucleotide substitution was identified at nucleotide 30,070 where a guanine was replaced by a cytosine. This mutation alters the amino acid encoded at position 206 in the factor IX protein from cysteine to serine. The non conservative nature of this substitution, the absence of this change in more than 200 previously sequenced factor IX genes and the fact that the remainder of the coding region of this gene was normal, all provide strong circumstantial evidence in favour of this change being the causative mutation in this patient. The molecular characterization of this novel mutation in the index case of Christmas disease, contributes to the rapidly expanding body of knowledge pertaining to Christmas disease pathogenesis.
