Bacteriophage mediated inter & intraspecies chromosomal gene transfer
(Brac University, 2023-04)Although many different methods of horizontal gene transfer have already been identified, and the effect of bacteriophages on horizontal chromosomal gene transfer is yet to be well studied. Bacteriophages are linked to ... -
Bacteriophages isolation from different water samples
(Brac University, 2019-08)Bacteriophages are found almost everywhere in environment such as water, soil, air etc. Water is a necessity in daily life for different purposes and bacteriophages can be found plenty in number in daily used water. Isolation ... -
Biased acquisition of spacers by the CRISPR System of the V. cholerae
(Brac University, 2021-09)Cholera is a deadly waterborne disease that is caused by the serogroup of O1 or O139 of Vibrio cholerae. Also, there are many non-pathogenic Vibrio cholerae strains known as non-O1 and non-O139. Bacteriophages are bacteria ... -
Can phages be cheated? - A study on the influence of inducing molecules on bacteriophage propagation at low host cell densities
(Brac University, 2020-06)It has been reported in vitro that bacteriophages require a certain host cell density in order to propagate. However, previous studies have shown that in environment, especially in water bodies, bacteriophage infection ... -
Degrading Vibrio cholerae Biofilms with Bacteriophage and potential combined effect of phage and antibiotic on biofilms
(Brac University, 2022-11)Vibrio cholerae is a gram-negative coccobacillus known as the causative agent of cholera- a gastrointestinal disease endemic to developing and underdeveloped countries, Bangladesh being one of them. The ability to form ... -
Genomic analysis of the correlation between CRISPR self-targeting spacers and prophage-related pathogenicity in Vibrio cholerae and Staphylococcus aureus
(Brac University, 2024-10)The interactions between bacteria and phages are intricate and dynamic, manifesting through two main life cycles: the lytic cycle, in which phages destroy their hosts via cell lysis, and the lysogenic cycle, where phage ... -
Investigation of the role of Free DNA in the formation of Bacterial Biofilm
(Brac University, 2022-09)Bacteriophage also known as bacterial virus are considered as natural enemy of bacteria since their discovery. In many medical settings, bacteriophages are used to eliminate bacteria from bacterial infected region. In ... -
Isolation and characterization of bacteriophage from environmental water samples specific for Klebsiella pneumoniae
(BRAC Univeristy, 2018-01)Klebsiella pneumoniae is a clinically important pathogen that is frequently associated with multidrug resistance. Recently, some of its strains have acquired superbug status. Over time it is getting difficult to treat ... -
Isolation and characterization of biofilm degrading bacteriophage from Gulshan lake specific for escherichia coli and vibrio cholerae
(Brac University, 2023-05)Bacteriophage, also known as bacterial virus, has been considered as the natural enemy of bacteria since their discovery. Bacteriophages are used to eradicate bacteria from bacterial infected regions in many medicinal ... -
Isolation and Characterization of E. coli Bacteriophage from Raw Meat and Environment Water
(Brac University, 2023-12)Several diseases such as stomach cramps, urinary tract infections, and diarrhea are caused by the bacterium Escherichia coli. One of the five subtypes of E. coli which are ETEC, EPEC, EAEC, EHEC/STEC, and EIEC are responsible ... -
Isolation of bacteriophage using E. Coli ATCC-25922 and E3 strain from water samples around Bangladesh
(Brac University, 2019-08)Bacteriophages are the most abundant organism on the Earth having simple structure but diverse characteristics. Since their discovery in 1915 till now they have proved to be useful to human as phage therapy, diagnostic ... -
Potential causative agents of biofilm-induced Cholera: an in vitro approach
(Brac University, 2024-06)Cholera, while easily treatable, is extremely common across many parts of the world, especially in the regions close to water bodies. The bacteria responsible, Vibrio cholerae, has an interesting affinity to forming ... -
Potential use of Vibriophage in association with antibiotic to treat the vibrio Cholerae biofilm
(Brac University, 2021-08)In cholera prevalent areas, Vibrio cholerae in the aqueous environment can exist in a cell aggregated form covered by an extra polysaccharide matrix called Biofilm. These type of cells are named as VBNC (viable but non ... -
The potentiality of bacteriophage on biofilm treatment
(Brac University, 2021-01)Bacteria can exist both in a planktonic state and within a biofilm. The bacteria remain inert within biofilm. Due to their extracellular matrix, problem arises for the effectivity of antibiotics and biocides. However, ... -
A study on the effect of genome size on the multiplication rate of bacteriophages
(Brac University, 2019-09)Bacteriophages encapsidated by a protein coat have the competency of infecting bacteria, are the most abundant living entities on earth whose genome in general falls into three size ranges and 30-50kbp genetic material ... -
A study to investigate the correlation of abundance between the spacers and the prophages in bacterial genome
(Brac University, 2019-09)Bacteriophages, the most abundant and diverse entities in the biosphere which are composed of a nucleic acid molecule that is surrounded by a protein structure. These viruses can infect or kill bacteria through lytic and ...
