(Brac University, 2023-06)Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the most occurring opportunistic microbial species responsible for pneumonia infections as well as nosocomial infections (Cordova-Espinoza et al., 2023). This species of bacteria is mostly ... -
Detection of multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in chicken samples collected from wet markets of Dhaka City
(Brac University, 2023-06)In both humans and animals, antibiotics are often used as a kind of treatment and to prevent illness. Antibiotic resistance may, however, also increase due to broad antibiotic usage. This study aimed to investigate the ... -
Evaluation of MicrocinE492 gene presence in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from clinical samples.
(BRAC University, 2018-10)Bacteriocins are small peptides with anti-bacterial properties. Among which, micrrocin E492 (MccE492) is a low-molecular-weight, channel-forming bacteriocin produced by Klebsiella pneumoniae. However, micrrocin E492 is ... -
Genomic characterization of environmental Klebsiella pneumoniae through whole genome sequencing
(Brac University, 2024-06)Klebsiella pneumoniae poses a significant public health threat due to its high antibiotic resistance and its role in severe infections, especially in healthcare settings. Investigating environmental K. pneumoniae is crucial ... -
In silico drug designing against Klebsiella pneumoniae adhesin protein
(Brac University, 2019-01)Klebsiella pneumoniae, is one of the causative agents of many nosocomial infections. In spite of having a plethora of information on the virulent factors of this bacteria, no definite vaccines have yet been designed or ... -
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 ... -
