Parkinson’s Disease: Immunometabolic Control Points Across Neural, Vascular, and Peripheral Systems

Parkinson's Disease, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder most associated with degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. Increasing clinical and experimental evidence, however, indicates that PD is a multisystem disease in which immune, metabolic, vascular, and peripheral nervous system dysfunction precede ...

Antibiotic Susceptibility of Zoonotic Bacteria Isolated From Oral Cavities of Indigenous Dogs From Semi‐Urban Areas in Uganda

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 1, January 2025.
Dog bites lead to bacterial infections. Isolation and identification of zoonotic bacterial species from the oral cavities of indigenous dogs using biochemical tests were carried out. The antibiotic susceptibility profile of the commonly identified bacteria species was established using Kirby–Bauer disk diffusion approach.

DNA probes for the identification of Nocardia asteroides [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1990
DNA probes for the rapid identification of Nocardia asteroides were obtained by constructing a genomic library of strain GUH-2 in the lambda cloning vector EMBL3. Of 50 recombinant clones tested, 2 were identified that hybridized with 31% of the N. asteroides strains in a reference collection without cross-hybridization with related members of the ...
