A review paper on nanotheranostic insight into combatting impediments of the COVID-19 pandemic
(Brac University, 2020-02)The COVID-19 pandemic is an ongoing pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Since its emersion in Wuhan,China in 2019, the virus has affected every corner of the world except ... -
Plastic pollution, Bangladesh, first-class microbes and their enzymes -a review
(Brac University, 2021)The invention of plastics has been generally seen as a benefit to contemporary living because of its light weight, great strength and multi-faceted use while being cheaper than other alternative materials. However, due to ... -
Comparative analysis reveals the contribution of phage-derived genomic islands to the increasing pathogenicity of facultative bacterial pathogens
(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 ... -

Drug resistant pathogens isolated from wound infection
(Brac University, 2021-06)For several decades antimicrobial resistance is growing rapidly and limiting the efficacy of antibiotics. Resistance to antibiotics can be accelerated by a variety of factors including human practices, drug tolerance, drug ... -
Uneven impact of COVID-19 on ethnic or racial minorities explained by differences in the prevalence of pre-existing health conditions
(Brac University, 2021-08)COVID-19 has had an enormous impact on the health and economy with certain individuals being more vulnerable to its effect. Regardless of age, pre-existing health conditions in people, such as cardiovascular disease, ... -
An update on Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): diagnosis, risks, etiology, and treatment options revisited
(Brac University, 2021-08)Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or PCOS is the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age, which is still incurable. Despite its prevalence, little is known about its etiology. In this review article, the ... -
The uses of bacteria in cancer therapy
(Brac University, 2021-08)Cancer is one of the leading cause of death worldwide. Cancer treatment success remains a challenge due to the unique pathophysiology of solid tumors and the predictable emergence of drug resistance. Traditional cancer ... -
Importance of antigen detection for the screening of COVID-19
(Brac University, 2020-10)Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, laboratories have been using nucleic acid amplification tests, such as real time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) assays, to detect SARS-CoV-2, the ... -
Quantum information theory and the black hole information paradox
(Brac University, 2020-10)This thesis discusses the information-theoretic concepts of Black Holes. Its primary focus is describing black hole dynamics with unitary operators within the perspective of quantum information theory and AdS/CFT arguments ... -
Vitamin D deficiency: characterization of an overlooked health hazard
(Brac University, 2020)Vitamin D or sunshine vitamin is a hormone precursor, soluble in fat and plays an important role in our body by participating in several endocrine autocrine and paracrine activities. Since it has many pleiotropic health ... -
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 ... -
A review on emerging pathogenic bacteria in marine environment
(Brac University, 2021-07)Marine pathogenic bacteria possess significant public health risks due to bathing in coastal water and consumption of seafood. Different man-made and environmental factors help these pathogenic bacteria grow and survive ... -
Potential use of Vibriophage in association with antibiotic to treat the vibrio Cholerae biofilm
(Brac University, 2021-08)In cholera prevalent areas, Vibrio cholerae in the aqueous environment can exist in a cell aggregated form covered by an extra polysaccharide matrix called Biofilm. These type of cells are named as VBNC (viable but non ... -
Isolation, identification, and characterization of Streptomyces species from common scab lesions
(Brac University, 2020-06)Streptomyces scabiei is largely accepted as the causal organism of common scab on potato in Debiganj, Rangpur and other Streptomyces species associated with common scab are not often considered. This study, therefore, ... -
Structural analysis of three pivotal SERK dependent PRR complexes of Arabidopsis thaliana
(Brac University, 2021-01)Pattern Triggered Immunity (PTI) is distinguished with the activities of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), which play an essential role in plant defense mechanism. During aggression of microbes, PRRs immediately bind ... -
The combination of bacteriophage therapy and antibiotic therapy
(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 ... -
Isolation of pathogens from tracheal infection of intensive care unit admitted patients and analysis of antibiotic susceptibility
(BRAC University, 2021-06)Being a highly vulnerable group, ICU patients are prone to be affected by infectious diseases due to various invasive, operation procedures as well as their critical health conditions. Tracheal specimens were tested ... -
A review on the role of Epigenetics in Psychiatry: Etiology, contemporary medicine and future perspectives
(BRAC University, 2020-07)Psychiatric disorders are complex phenomena that have neurological, genetic and epigenetic bases. The epigenetic underpinnings of such disorders have been discovered and rediscovered in past research and provide a ... -
Use of antibiotics leading the occurrence of Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria on hydroponically grown Mung bean sprouts.
(BRAC University, 2021-06)Antibiotics are used to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria that can cause plant disease or associate to human disease during the development of food crops. The goal of this study was to observe the effect of ...
