Qatar University Press
, 2020 , Poster)
Sanitization of cleanrooms in animal facilities is important as it ensures the level of contamination by different means including personnel activities and failures of HVAC system.Cleanrooms are highly controlled to provide ...
Urine tests for diagnosis of infectious diseases and antibiotic –resistant pathogens
(
IntechOpen
, 2019 , Book chapter)
The relation between disease and urine was recognized by physicians since the earliest civilization BC. Urine is considered an ideal diagnostic specimen for its noninvasive and easy method of collection. Urinalysis encompasses ...
Host specificity of pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from patients with cystic fibrosis and patients from different clinical backgrounds.
(
European Respiratory Society: ERJ
, 2014 , Article)
Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the primary pathogens being isolated more frequently in cystic fibrosis (CF) and exhibits innate resistant to a wide range of antibiotics.
