Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) play a central role in the inflammation that ensues following microbial infection by their recognition of molecular patterns present in invading microorganisms but also following tissue damage by recognising molecules released during disease states.Such receptors are expressed in a variety of cells and in variou
Broadband Coherent anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (BCARS) microscopy is a useful technique for chemical analysis and allows the full vibrational fingerprint spectrum of a specimen to be obtained in millisec-onds.A major drawback to this technique is the presence of the non-resonant background response producing interference which prevents BURGUNDY PW
Group B streptococcus (GBS) is the major pathogen causing diseases in neonates, pregnant/puerperal women, cows and fish.Recent studies have shown that GBS may be infectious across hosts and some fish GBS strain might originate from human.The purpose of this study is to investigate the genetic relationship of CC103 strains that recently emerged in c
