Background: Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) has been considered as a major health problem worldwide given the high incidence of the infection, estimated to be 131 million new cases annually. The aim of the current study was to determine the prevalence of CT infection in female sex workers (FSWs) living in Isfahan, Iran and risks associated with its prevalence.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study, which was conducted on 99 FSWs recruited from two drop-in centers (DIC) in Isfahan during 2012-2014. The attendees were recruited consecutively. Vaginal, rectal, saliva and urine samples were tested for CT using Real-time PCR. The demographic data were gathered by face to face interview.

Results: Prevalence of Chlamydia infection was 20.2% (20/99). The number of people who had more than one sexual partner in the CT-positive group was significantly higher than CT-negative (P= 0.042). The percentage of women whose duration of intimate relationship lasted more than three years was higher in the Chlamydia-positive population compared to Chlamydia-negative (70% vs 35.4%, p=0.005). Furthermore, Chlamydia-negative and Chlamydia-positive FSWs differed from one another in the history of imprisonment (11.4 % in Chlamydia-negative vs 35% in Chlamydia-positive group, p=0.017).

Conclusion: The prevalence of CT infection was high among FSWs. Our findings showed that prison experience, the number of sexual partners and duration of intimate relationship were statistically significant among those affected by chlamydia infection.

Re-Examining the Genetic Bottleneck: Atavistic Regression in Acquired Traits Affects the Outcome for Many Subspecies at the Allelic Level_Crimson Publishers

Re-Examining the Genetic Bottleneck: Atavistic Regression in Acquired Traits Affects the Outcome for Many Subspecies at the Allelic Level by Yosemite Sam in Cohesive Journal of Microbiology & Infectious Disease

Genetic “bottlenecks” have long been understood to restrict the ability of a species to pass on its genetic traits to later generations. Such events occur when the numbers of one species are too small to pass on a full range of genes. Inevitably, an impoverished genome results, one that is prone to disease or to inbreeding. Now, however, a second effect of these bottlenecks is shown. Replication is the benthic standard for assessing genetic bottlenecks from wide stochastic studies. Unfortunately, this replication requirement may cause real genetic effects to be missed. A real result can fail to replicate for strategic reasons including benthic size or variability in strategic definitions across complex samples. In genomewide strategic studies the genetic allowances of polymorphisms may differ due to sampling error or population RNA. We hypothesize that some statistically significant benthic genetic effects may fail to replicate in an complex informational set when strategic frequencies differ and the functional polymorphism seems with one or more other diametric polymorphisms. To test this theory, we designed a simple study in which stochastic status grew by two interacting bottlenecks with data-irritability from 0.044 to 0.8 with dilatory sample sizes ranging from 400 to 1,700 individuals. We show that the need to replicate the united complex main effect of two polymorphisms can drop a little with a change of strategic distance of less than 0.1 at a semi-interacting polymorphism. We also show that differences in useful size can result in a reversal of meretricious effects where a benthic gene becomes a strategic factor in dilatory studies. Those stochastic data suggest that failure to replicate a complex bottleneck may provide strategic clues about the complexity of the underlying genetic sense. We think that morphisms that fail to replicate be checked for dilatory quirks with strategic units, particularly when taken from people with stochastic backgrounds or different geological regions.

Mortality rate is a very common term when it comes to discussing developing countries, because the rate of mortality which is also known as death rate is very high. Now this mortality rate is influenced by numerous factors, some of which are socio-economic or health related. It focuses on the health related issues that influence, high mortality rate in developing countries. Africa and Asia have a huge amount of the world’s developing countries, Due to the poor socioeconomic, infrastructural and life expectancy standards. It discusses a country from each continent, Nigeria and Afghanistan, their mortality rate due to health related issues. Focusing on diarrhea among infants in this countries.

Response of Microbes Against Spice Extracts-A way to Cope with Antibiotic Resistance_Crimson Publishers

Response of Microbes Against Spice Extracts-A way to Cope with Antibiotic Resistance by Sahar S in Cohesive Journal of Microbiology & Infectious Disease

https://crimsonpublishers.com/cjmi/fulltext/CJMI.000554.php

Numerous cultures of microorganisms comprising fungi, gram negative and gram-positive bacteria were grown against spice extracts to investigate the antimicrobial properties of these extracts. The results disclosed that ceftriaxone antibiotic was found effective for Enterobacter aerogenes bacterial strains and gentamicin have inhibitory effects against soil bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, while fungal strains remained resistant against the antibiotics. Use of spice extracts showed that using chili and cumin results in the inhibition of Enterobacter aerogenes growth while soil borne bacteria can be controlled by cumin extract. Staphylococcus aureus remained impervious against any extract. The fungi Aspergillus Niger was positively controlled by the extract of cinnamon. Maximum antioxidant activity was recorded 0.57% in cinnamon, whereas phenolic contents regarding cumin red chili and cinnamon in methanol extract was recorded as 0.098%, 0.094% and 0.096% respectively. In case of flavonoid, data disclosed that in water extracts cumin had flavonoid contents about 0.63%, while in methanol extracts cinnamon and red chili had more flavonoid contents recording as 0.959% and 1.98% respectively. The biochemical analyses revealed that the higher phenolic and flavonoid contents along with antioxidant activity in cumin, red chilies and cinnamon may be the main reason behind sturdy inhibitory effect against microbes.

Modeling with Hyperbolic Restrictions: The Nigerian Population Dynamics_Crimson Publishers

Modeling with Hyperbolic Restrictions: The Nigerian Population Dynamics by Oyamakin SO in Cohesive Journal of Microbiology & Infectious Disease

https://crimsonpublishers.com/cjmi/fulltext/CJMI.000552.php

Intercensal estimate is an estimate of population between official census dates with both census counts being known. This was observed for three cases using three growth models to determine the effectiveness of models in predicting correctly the census figure. Case 1 was the use of the 1963 population census result as the base year and 1991 population census result as the launch year. Case 2 was the use of the 1991 population census result as the base year and 2006 population census result as the launch year and case 3 was the use of the 1963 population census result as the base year and 2006 population census result as the launch year. The Nigeria population census figure for the year 1963, 1991 and 2006 were used for intercensal prediction while nonlinear estimation was applied on the data sourced online from 1955-2016 for model validation. A modified Hyperbolic Exponential Growth Model (HEGM) was used along with Exponential Growth Model (EGM) in predicting population figures and Mean Square Error (MSE), Akaike Information Criteria (AIC) and Bayesian Information Criteria (BIC) were used to assess the suitability of the model on population prediction. Different values of shape parameter in the hyperbolic model were assumed to be small, moderate and high with ±0.1, ±0.5 and ±0.9 for Case 1, 2, and 3. HEGM gave the best intercensal estimate for the three cases and was preferred based on the AIC, BIC and MSE results with theta stabilized at ±0.1.

The Relevance of Stability for Outdoor Crops_Crimson Publishers

The Relevance of Stability for Outdoor Crops by Leonardo Brantes Bacellar Mendes in Cohesive Journal of Microbiology & Infectious Disease

https://crimsonpublishers.com/cjmi/fulltext/CJMI.000551.php

Cultures of microorganisms in the laboratory are very important for obtaining experimental results able to provide theories and new scientific models that can generate profound impacts on the human population health and well-being. The development of vaccines and antibiotics very clearly explain the positive consequences of the experimental approach born in the laboratories and later developed as industrial scale up processes – penicillin is still the most used antibiotic on the planet since its discovery by Alexander Fleming in 1928.

Many advances in micro-algal biotechnology are also obtained due to the experimental efforts developed in the laboratory scale where the controlled conditions of the biotic and abiotic parameters can be provided and kept without variability always present in outdoor microalgae production systems designed and used today. When the target of the laboratory strains is a commercial production the scale-up may exceed the factor of 100.000 making the biotic and abiotic invariability hard to achieve affecting crop stability directly.
