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 and characterization of Bacteriophages from surface water specific for Vibrio Cholerae
(Brac University, 2020-01)
The severe diarrheal disease cholera is caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholera. Toxigenic Vibrio cholerae strains belonging to O1 and O139 serogroups are the causative agents of epidemic and pandemic cholera. The Vibrio ...
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 ...
Isolation of bacteriophage from sewage water samples specific for Vibriocholerae
(Brac University, 2019-10)
Safety Assessment of Citrobacter freundii Bacteriophages for Use in Phage Therapy in the Face of Antibiotic Resistance
(Brac University, 2020-02)
Citrobacter freundii is a species of bacteria in the Enterobacteriaceae family that is known to
cause hospital-acquired infections in the respiratory tract, urinary tract, blood, and other
normally sterile sites in ...
Using synergic relation between bacteriophage and a bacterial species for checking the effects of antibiotic resistance genes on the lytic property of bacteriophages.
(Brac University, 2021)
Bacterial transformation is a process of horizontal gene transfer (hgt) where a few bacteria pick up foreign genetic material from the environment. In terms of newer therapies being applied, antimicrobial resistance is ...
Isolation of E. coli phages from environmental water samples and analysis of their effect on periodic epidemics of cholera
(BRAC University, 2017-09)
Cholera is a deadly infectious disease caused by the pathogen Vibrio cholerae. In our
country cholera epidemics occur seasonally. Two peaks of outbreaks nicely coincide with
dry season and monsoon rain. Several factors ...
Bacteriophage mediated horizontal gene transfer
(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. ...
Isolation of Bacteriophages from surface water for some distinct bacterias and their characterization as potential biocontrol agents
(Brac University, 2020-12)
E. coli of many different kinds, most of which are part of the intestine's normal flora and are
thought to be comparatively harmless. However, some strains have developed pathogenicity
systems, which means they can cause ...
Isolation of bacteriophages from surface waters specific for Shigella dysenteriae and their characterization as potential biocontrol agents
(Brac University, 2019-07)
Shigella is a low-infectious dose pathogen that can cause disease in healthy people. It causes a range of diseases from mild watery diarrhea to severe dysentery (shigellosis). The primary objective of this project was to ...
