Can phages be cheated? - A study on the influence of inducing molecules on bacteriophage propagation at low host cell densities
(Brac University, 2020-06)It has been reported in vitro that bacteriophages require a certain host cell density in order to propagate. However, previous studies have shown that in environment, especially in water bodies, bacteriophage infection ... -
Degrading Vibrio cholerae Biofilms with Bacteriophage and potential combined effect of phage and antibiotic on biofilms
(Brac University, 2022-11)Vibrio cholerae is a gram-negative coccobacillus known as the causative agent of cholera- a gastrointestinal disease endemic to developing and underdeveloped countries, Bangladesh being one of them. The ability to form ... -
Investigation of the role of Free DNA in the formation of Bacterial Biofilm
(Brac University, 2022-09)Bacteriophage also known as bacterial virus are considered as natural enemy of bacteria since their discovery. In many medical settings, bacteriophages are used to eliminate bacteria from bacterial infected region. In ... -
Isolation and characterization of biofilm degrading bacteriophage from Gulshan lake specific for escherichia coli and vibrio cholerae
(Brac University, 2023-05)Bacteriophage, also known as bacterial virus, has been considered as the natural enemy of bacteria since their discovery. Bacteriophages are used to eradicate bacteria from bacterial infected regions in many medicinal ... -
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 ... -
A study on the effect of genome size on the multiplication rate of bacteriophages
(Brac University, 2019-09)Bacteriophages encapsidated by a protein coat have the competency of infecting bacteria, are the most abundant living entities on earth whose genome in general falls into three size ranges and 30-50kbp genetic material ... -
A study to investigate the correlation of abundance between the spacers and the prophages in bacterial genome
(Brac University, 2019-09)Bacteriophages, the most abundant and diverse entities in the biosphere which are composed of a nucleic acid molecule that is surrounded by a protein structure. These viruses can infect or kill bacteria through lytic and ...
