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 ... -
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 ... -
Distribution of complete CRISPR-Cas systems in vibrio cholerae and its effect on presence of plasmid derived contigs in complete genome assemblies
(BRAC University, 2023-05)Cholera is a water-borne disease caused by Vibrio cholerae that causes severe diarrhea and dehydration. Plasmids disseminate antibiotic resistance and have the potential to play critical roles in epidemic outbreaks. ... -
Isolation and molecular characterization of e.coli bacteriophages from surface water of Bangladesh
(Brac University, 2019-12)In our country Diarrheal epidemics occur seasonally. Two peaks of outbreaks agreeably coincide with dry season and monsoon rain. Several factors control the outbreaks to occur and collapse. Bacteriophages are one of them ... -
Isolation of Lytic Bacteriophages from Environmental water samples specific to Vibrio cholerae; software-based analysis of whole-genome using bioinformatics tools
(Brac University, 2020-08)Vibrio cholerae is an opportunistic, gram-negative bacterium that is commonly found in fresh and saltwater, soil, food, or in the intestine of humans and animals. It is the most causative agent of cholera; a chronic diarrheal ... -
Isolation, characterization and comparative analysis of multi-drug resistant acinetobacter baumannii & vibrio cholerae from hospital wastewater and its adjacent community supply water in Dhaka north
(Brac University, 2023-06)Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative bacillus which shows characteristics of obligate aerobe. It is pleomorphic and non-motile. An opportunistic and nosocomial pathogen, A. baumannii has been designated as “red alert”. ... -
A landscape view on antimicrobial resistance pattern of Acinetobacter baumannii and Vibrio cholerae in hospital wastewater and adjacent household water
(Brac University, 2023-06)Global threats to public health are growing from carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, particularly the Acinetobacter baumannii-calcoaceticus complex and Enterobacteriaceae- Vibrio cholerae. Numerous multidrug-resistant ... -
Multiplex PCR (polymerase chain reaction) assay for detection of E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella sp., Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio parahaemolyticus in spiked shrimps (Penaeus monodon)
(© 2013 Pakistan Journal of Biological Sciences, 2013)The coastal aquaculture mainly shrimps constitute major export sector in Bangladesh and is increasingly shaped by international trade conditions and by national responses to those stringent quality and safety standards. ... -
A novel vaccine designing approach through analyzing computational tools against pathogenic vibrio cholerae’s outer membrane protein of O1 strain as adjuvant
(Brac University, 2022-10)Cholera epidemic, history denotes it as “The Blue Death'', a deoxygenated, dehydrated death of humans due to the bacterial species named Vibrio Cholerae. When the sanitation system is extremely devastated by the purity ... -
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 ... -
Prevalence of microbial hazards in street food and restaurant salad of Dhaka city
(Brac University, 2023-02)Food Safety remains major concern for consumers and street foods are often related to the food poisoning. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of pathogenic microorganisms associated with the street food ... -
Production of polyclonal antisera of vibrio cholerae O1 & O139 to detect pathogenic vibrio cholerae
(Brac University, 2023-01)Cholera is endemic in Bangladesh due to serogroup O1, and people are still suffering from the disease seasonally in this geographic area. So, detecting the disease as soon as possible and making availability of materials ... -
Resuscitation of bacterial biofilm by Sunlight: Effects on Vibrio cholerae, Shiga Toxin Producing Escherichia coli.
(Brac University, 2024-05)There is significant evidence that suggests that bacteria go through various mobile and immobile phases during their lifetime. All these various phases, in turn, facilitate the pathogenic bacteria to cause and spread ... -
Study of antibacterial activities of Azadirachta indica (Neem), Ocimum sanctum (Tulsi), and Punica granatum (Pomegranate peel) against vibrio cholerae
(Brac University, 2022-02)As multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains of Vibrio cholerae are emerging at an alarming rate, it has become a matter of importance to find and evaluate the already existing alternates to synthetic antibiotics. For several ... -
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 ... -
Studying vibrio spp. in industrially polluted surface waters : difficulties and uncertainities during characterization
(BRAC University, 2018-11)4 Abstract . Being the capital of Bangladesh Dhaka city faces multiple pollution problems due to rapid urbanization leading to unplanned industrialization. This often results in the contamination of water bodies with ... -
Trends of multidrug resistance phenotypes in vibrio cholerae causing cholera in Bangladesh
(Brac University, 2023-06)Antibiotic resistance is a growing global concern, posing significant challenges in the treatment of bacterial infections. Vibrio cholerae, a gram-negative bacterium responsible for the severe diarrheal disease cholera, ... -
Understanding the effect of exposure of human pathogens to polluted surface water: Vibrio cholerae as a model organism
(BRAC University, 2018)Urbanization and industrialization results in the fecal organisms contaminating the water-bodies which are important sources of recreational activities. This eventually increases the risk of humans getting infected during ...
