Isolation of furnace oil and crude oil degrading bacteria from soil
(BRAC University, 2016-08)
Oil pollution is one of the major problems of the environmental issues. It is important to clean up oil spill as it causes disturbance to the balance of nature, hampering animals, plants and humans life. Many diseases, ...
Prevalence, antibiotic susceptibility and plasmid profile of bacteria from door knobs of female restrooms in BRAC University, Dhaka
(BRAC University, 2017-10)
Non-porous environmental surfaces such as door knobs of restrooms are routinely touched with
hands and can serve as vehicles for transmitting infectious diseases. This study aimed at isolating,
identifying the bacterial ...
Detection of ETEC toxins and identification of molecular basis of extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) mediated resistance in a multidrug resistant Enterobacter agglomerans strain
(BRAC University, 2016-11)
Enterotoxigenic Esherichia coli (ETEC) is one of the salient causative agents of diarrhea particularly in developing countries and renders a major health complication in travelers to endemic areas. Eventually, infections ...
Impact of sunlight on chloramphenicol mediated synthetic and herbal eye drops in terms of antimicrobial activity
(BRAC University, 2017-12)
Ocular bacterial infections can cause several eye diseases that have potential impact on human health which is a growing concern worldwide. The use of chloramphenicol synthetic eye drops could provide immense coverage ...
Isolation of amylase producing bacteria from soil and identification by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and characterization of amylase
(BRAC University, 2016-06)
The use of amylase enzyme has been extensive in different industrial sectors for quite a long time because of its multifarious applications. Unfortunately, Bangladesh lacks any local production of amylase although many ...
Analysis and comparison between the Genome of CRISPR bacteriophages
(Brac University, 2019-12)
Viruses that infect bacteria are called bacteriophages or shortened as phages. Like all viruses, Phages are absolute parasites, although carry all the information to direct their reproduction in an appropriate host, they ...
Molecular assessment of bacteriophage genome as a potential therapeutic agent in treating multi-drug resistant bacterial infection
(Brac University, 2019-12)
Bacteriophage therapy sheds a fresh light upon the critical growth of antibiotic resistance. Antimicrobial resistance, one of the major public health concerns, requires a novel therapeutic strategy to be optimized. Phage ...
Degradation of dyes used in textile Industries by bacteria isolated from local textile effluents
(BRAC University, 2017-06)
The effluent discharges from textile processing industries contain a significant amount of unreacted dyes. Release of these dyes into the environment causes toxic effects to the environment. The application of microorganisms ...
Incorporating probiotics in our daily food consumption to combat antibiotic resistance
(Brac University, 2022-10)
An increase in antibiotic resistance throughout the globe threatens the survival of these lifesaving
drugs (ABR). One of the most pressing global health issues is antibiotic resistance, which
develops when bacteria or ...
