Abstract:
:Supplemented MacConkey agar with L-rhamnose and D-arabitol distinguishes pathogenic from environmental strains of Yersinia enterocolitica recovered from swine production wastes. This medium has a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 97.4%.

杂志文章abstract::An acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) causes serious losses to the global shrimp industry. The etiologic agent of AHPND is Vibrio spp. carrying a large plasmid which encodes a binary toxin, PirAB. Currently, AHPND is diagnosed by PCR based methods that detect the presences of both pirA and pirB genes. How...
