Virulence determinants and antibiotic resistance of Extended-Spectrum Beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolated from hospital environment
(Brac University, 2019)Klebsiella pneumonia is a member of gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae associated with community and hospital-acquired infections through highly resistant clones. Infection by Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella is increasing ... -
Comparison of mutation spectrum, hemoglobin profiles and hematological features between transfusion dependent and non-dependent patients of Hb E/β Thalassemia
(Brac University, 2019)Hemoglobin E/β Thalassemia is an inherited anemic genetic disorder that is highly prevalent in the Southern Asia part of the world. Bangladesh falls in the Thalassemia belt of the world. The clinical manifestation of this ... -
Prevalence of Zika virus infection in patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome in Bangladesh
(Brac University, 2019-10)Guillain–Barre syndrome (GBS) is an autoimmune disease where the immune system of the body attacks the peripheral nervous system causing demyelination of the axon. This is the leading cause of acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) ... -
Isolation and molecular characterization of e.coli bacteriophages from surface water of Bangladesh
(Brac University, 2019-12)In our country Diarrheal epidemics occur seasonally. Two peaks of outbreaks agreeably coincide with dry season and monsoon rain. Several factors control the outbreaks to occur and collapse. Bacteriophages are one of them ... -
Mutation patterns in the HBB gene determine the frequency and onset of blood transfusion in patients with beta-thalassemia major and HbE-beta thalassemia
(Brac University, 2019-11)Thalassemia is a blood disorder passed down through families (inherited) in which the body makes an abnormal form or inadequate amount of hemoglobin. Co-inheritance of beta-thalassemia alleles from two parents results ... -
Prospects of Biodegradable Polymer (Polyhydroxyalkanoate) production with wastewater
(Brac University, 2019-10)Plastic production and accumulation have devastating environmental effects, and consequently, the world is in need to focus on environmentally friendly plastic substitutes such as sustainable biofuels, biomaterials, and ... -
Antibiotic resistance pattern of Escherichia coli isolated from patients with urinary tract infection
(Brac University, 2019-09)Urinary tract infections are considered as the second most common type of infection occurred in body. Escherichia coli is the most common cause of urinary tract of infection for both male and female, higher percentage found ... -
A study comparing the prescribing pattern of antibiotics for fever between Dhaka City and different villages in Bangladesh
(Brac University, 2019-09)The study “A Study Comparing the Prescribing Pattern of Antibiotics for Fever between Dhaka city and Different Villages in Bangladesh” was done with the aim to do a survey on the differences in antibiotic use pattern between ... -
Isolation and identification of α-amylase producing soil microorganisms and partial characterization of α-Amylase enzyme
(Brac University, 2019-11)Alpha (α)-amylase is an enzyme responsible for the breakdown of starch molecules. It hydrolyzes starch into reducing and fermentable sugars like maltose. The enzyme has various industrial applications; namely in food, ... -
Isolation of antibiotic producing bacteria from soil and identification by 16S rRNA gene sequencing
(Brac University, 2019-09)Antibiotic resistance has become a challenging issue in medical treatment process. A large portion the novel antibiotics are derived from soil microbes as soil being a primary source. Hence, to isolate novel antibiotic ... -
