Antibiotic adjuvants in combating antibiotic resistance
Tui, Nazoa Shimin (Brac University, 2023-01)Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has now become one of the significant global health challenges and are not limited to natural antibiotics but also for synthetic antibiotics. Therefore, it is crucial to search for more ... -
Antibiotic resistance, virulence and biofilm forming capacity of acinetobacter baumannii isolated from Goranchatbari sub-catchment in Dhaka city
Haque, Nayeema (Brac University, 2023-08)The presence of ESBL producing Acinetobacter baumannii is a major concern for various hospital and community healthcare settings, often being linked to an increased incidence of nosocomial infections. The biofilm formation ... -
Assessing the interspecies and intraspecies diversity of Cas1 and Cas3 proteins of the CRISPR-Cas system in vibrio cholera and Escherichia coli strains
Tabassum, Tahani; Shahriar, Sagarika (Brac University, 2021-12)Cholera is an extremely virulent waterborne disease caused by the ingestion of food or water contaminated with pathogenic strains of Vibrio cholerae. On the other hand, pathogenic strains of E. coli, particularly Shiga-toxin ... -
Bacteriophage mediated horizontal gene transfer
Das, Arpon Kumar (Brac University, 2021-11)Bacteriophages are viruses which infect and replicates within the bacterial cell. Bacteriophage refers ‘bacteria eater’ that means the bacteriophages kill their host cell because bacteriophage is a bacteria-infecting virus. ... -
Bacteriophage mediated inter & intraspecies chromosomal gene transfer
Khan, Md. Rakunuzzaman; Mayuri, Tanzia Kaisar; Md. Ashraful Haque, Abir (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 ... -
Biased acquisition of spacers by the CRISPR System of the V. cholerae
Supan, Erena Tuzneen; Haque, Nayeema; Momtaz, Monira (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 ... -
Bio-sorption studies of chromium (VI) ions with modified chicken feathers
Shaima, Nabila Afrin (Brac University, 2021-12)Adsorption is one of the most important methods for cleaning industrial waste effluents. Adsorbents such as activated carbon have been used for a long time to remove heavy metal ions from wastewater. However, such adsorbents' ... -
Can phages be cheated? - A study on the influence of inducing molecules on bacteriophage propagation at low host cell densities
Kabir, A.B.M. Rezwanul (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 ... -
Characterization of newly identified bacterial biofilm degrading bacteriophage obtained from Dhaka city lake water samples
Mahdee, Munif; Abdullah, Syed Ridwan (Brac University, 2023-09)Recently acquired bacteriophages from water samples in Dhaka city which degraded the bacterial biofilms were characterized in this investigation. Bacteriophages unique to E. coli strain 9A(ⲫ9A) and Vibrio cholerae strain ... -
The combination of bacteriophage therapy and antibiotic therapy
Sakib, Sadman; Shounak, Samiha Kamal (Brac University, 2021-06)Antibiotic resistance has become a major problem of current time. A lot of deadly bacterial pathogens have become resistant to antibiotics. In addition, pathogens like P.aeruginosa, E.coli, Acinetobacter baumannii and many ... -
Comparative analysis of CRISPR-Cas systems of Yersinia pestis and Escherichia coli strains. (November 2020 – December 2021)
Nwabunwanne, Eze Uchenna (Brac University, 2022-01)The CRISPR-Cas system primarily refers to the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and its related protein enzymes (Cas) that confer adaptive protection against bacteriophages and other exogenous ... -
Comparative analysis reveals the contribution of phage-derived genomic islands to the increasing pathogenicity of facultative bacterial pathogens
Poly, Israt Jahan Khan (Brac University, 2020-09)Bacteriophages are the most abundant entity in the biosphere outnumbering bacteria by a factor of at least 10. Other than infecting bacteria, phages also influence the evolution of bacteria in an unexpected way to provide ... -
Comparative study on antibiotic resistance profiles and plasmid presence in water samples focusing Inside and outside Dhaka district
Maliha, Sumaiya Tasnim; Zarin, Nusrat Kamrul (Brac University, 2023-10)"One of the most pressing issues of recent times is antimicrobial resistance or AMR. Nowadays, treating infections with susceptible antibiotics has become a major concern as antibiotic resistance is rapidly rising. And due ... -

Correlation between the prevalence of plasmids and AMR genes in the environmental isolates of different bacterial species
Rahman, Wasifa Ar (2023-07)Bacterial gene transfer is responsible for spread of antibiotic resistance in bacteria and evolution of bacteria which can be a threat of virulence as well play role in maintenance. Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is the ... -
Correlation of mutations with the minimum inhibitory concentrations of isoniazid drug among isoniazid-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates in Bangladesh
Ruhee, Noshin Nawer (Brac University, 2023-08)Tuberculosis is still one of the major causes of mortality in the globe. Isoniazid (INH), a first-line medication used to treat tuberculosis is becoming increasingly resistant. With the rise of INH resistance we need more ... -
