Isolation and characterization of vibrio spp. from surface water in Dhaka city
(Brac University, 2019-01)
Vibrio spp. is an estuarine bacterium prevalent in water bodies throughout the world. Twelve
species of the Vibrioceae family are known to cause diseases in human. The aim of this study
was to investigate the occurrence, ...
Horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance in surface water of Dhaka City
(Brac University, 2019-05)
Horizontal gene transfer is one of the most widespread phenomenon by which bacteria evolve themselves in the environment. Such transfer is often reported to be responsible for spreading antibiotic resistance genes in nature. ...
Characterization of acinetobacter baumannii from hospital-adjacent waterbodies in Dhaka city
(Brac University, 2023-06)
Acinetobacter baumannii has become a significant pathogen over the last few decades. It is naturally found in food, soil, and surface water but in clinical settings, it has demonstrated increasing health problems and ...
A study on the prospect of Escherichia coli isolated from row beef samples as a potential reservoir antibiotic resistance.
(BRAC University, 2017-10)
Abstract
With the consumption of beef reaching new heights each year all over the world, the prospect of E. coli isolated from raw beef samples as a potential reservoir of antibiotic resistance was investigated. A total ...
In vitro collateral sensitivity: a potential approach against multiple antibiotic resistant bacteria
(Brac University, 2023-07)
Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) has long been recognized as a major issue. With the
emergence and rapid spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, the world's stock of viable
antibiotics is rapidly depleting. In this regard, ...
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 ...
Horizontal gene transfer: an insight into antimicrobial resistance
(Brac University, 2022-10)
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which affects a variety of infectious pathogens, is a pivotal
public health issue for many countries and corporations. Governments across the globe are
starting to take heed of an issue ...
Assessment on the microbial status of potable/ drinking water in Dhaka city and the comparative analysis of different regions of the city on antibiotic resistance
(2022-01)
Dhaka City is home to nearly 22,478,000 people, but accessible drinking water sources are limited.
Moreover, the minimal available water sources are polluted, rendering the Dhaka City population victim
of water-borne ...
Isolation of Staphylococcus spp. from hospital wastewater and adjacent community household water: Special focus on their antibiotic resistance
(Brac University, 2023-01)
Staphylococcus spp. is a leading cause of human bacterial infections. These infections can
damage the skin, soft tissues, bones, circulation, and respiratory system. It has the unusual
capacity to rapidly develop ...
Anti-bacterial effect of essential oil extracted from homegrown Origanum vulgare L and Azadirachta indica tree on pathogenic bacteria
(Brac University, 2022-10)
Antibiotic resistance has been on the rise for many years now. Multidrug resistance patterns in Gramnegative and Gram-positive bacterial strains are difficult to cure and might even be untreatable with
conventional ...
