In silico identification of molecular mimicry between T-cell epitopes of borrelia burgdorferi and the human proteome: implications for autoimmune response in Lyme disease
(Brac University, 2022-12)
Autoimmune disorder is a dysfunctional immune system in a body, which attacks its own cells. Borrelia burgdorferi, a pathogenic bacterium, shares an intrinsic relation to Lyme disease in humans causing autoreactive responses ...
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 ...

(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 ...
Influencing factors of antibiotic resistance
(Brac University, 2022-02)
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is the path in which microbes tends to support its survival. It is always not only
about microbes there are bacteria as well for which antibiotic was invented. Then again there is also ...
