Detection and Identification of Fungal Pathogens by Multiplex PCR in Pulmonary Tuberculosis Patients in Kancheepuram
Abstract: Tuberculosis is a common infection in developing countries. Pulmonary tuberculosis is the most commonly associated disease in cases of secondary aspergilloma. Fungus infection is gradually becoming commoner and has been difficult to evaluate since diagnoses were seldom confirmed. Multiplex PCR method provides a rapid, simple, and reliable alternative to conventional methods to identify common clinical fungal isolates. Hence, this study was taken up to find the fungal co-infections among TB …

Genetic Diversity and Characterization of Ocimum sanctum Collected from Anand, Central Gujarat Region, by PCR-based RAPD Markers
Abstract: Genetic relationships were examined among thirty germplasm accessions belonging to ten Ocimum species using RAPD markers. A very high degree of polymorphism (98.92%) was observed. UPGMA cluster analysis of genetic similarity indices grouped all the accessions into two major clusters corresponding to previously reported botanical sections. Intra-clustering within the two clusters precisely grouped the accessions belonging to one species in onesub-cluster as expected from their genetic background. Results of this …
