Development and implementation of a single-chain Fv antibody for specific detection of Bacillus anthracis spores
Article Abstract:
A single-chain Fv (scFv) antibody is developed and implemented for specific detection of Bacillus anthracis spores. The potential utility of scFv antibodies in detection platforms is shown by the application of the soluble purified scFv antibody in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, immunofluorescence assays, and flow cytometry (FCM).

Plasmid-mediated high-level gentamicin resistance among enteric, bacteria isolated from pet turtles in louisiana
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to identify the gene(s), which contributes to the high-level gentamicin resistance phenotype observed in bacteria from environmental samples with turtle farming activity. The results indicated a dissemination of the gentamicin resistance genes through mobile molecular elements.
