Assessing the interspecies and intraspecies diversity of Cas1 and Cas3 proteins of the CRISPR-Cas system in vibrio cholera and Escherichia coli strains
Tabassum, Tahani; Shahriar, Sagarika (Brac University, 2021-12)Cholera is an extremely virulent waterborne disease caused by the ingestion of food or water contaminated with pathogenic strains of Vibrio cholerae. On the other hand, pathogenic strains of E. coli, particularly Shiga-toxin ... -
Bacteriophage mediated inter & intraspecies chromosomal gene transfer
Khan, Md. Rakunuzzaman; Mayuri, Tanzia Kaisar; Md. Ashraful Haque, Abir (Brac University, 2023-04)Although many different methods of horizontal gene transfer have already been identified, and the effect of bacteriophages on horizontal chromosomal gene transfer is yet to be well studied. Bacteriophages are linked to ... -
Biased acquisition of spacers by the CRISPR System of the V. cholerae
Supan, Erena Tuzneen; Haque, Nayeema; Momtaz, Monira (Brac University, 2021-09)Cholera is a deadly waterborne disease that is caused by the serogroup of O1 or O139 of Vibrio cholerae. Also, there are many non-pathogenic Vibrio cholerae strains known as non-O1 and non-O139. Bacteriophages are bacteria ... -
The combination of bacteriophage therapy and antibiotic therapy
Sakib, Sadman; Shounak, Samiha Kamal (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 ... -
Comparative analysis reveals the contribution of phage-derived genomic islands to the increasing pathogenicity of facultative bacterial pathogens
Poly, Israt Jahan Khan (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 ... -

Zaman, Farzana; Tahsin, Lamisa (Brac University, 2021-02)The continuous scene of Covid infection 19 (COVID-19) has forced a genuine danger to worldwide wellbeing and the world economy. The illness has quickly procured a pandemic status influencing practically totally populated ... -
Detection of circulating dengue virus serotypes of 2021 dengue outbreak in Dhaka, Bangladesh
Rahmat, Raad (Brac University, 2022-01)Dengue infection is a self-limiting febrile illness caused by four serotypes of dengue viruses (DENVs). It is one the most important, yet globally neglected, vector-borne diseases in tropical and subtropical regions of the ... -
Developing a novel multi-epitope vaccine against Dengue virus targeting the Envelope protein using an Immunoinformatics approach
NASIFUZZAMAN, S M (Brac University, 2021-08)Every year during the rainy season in Bangladesh severe Dengue infection is widespread throughout the country. Aedes aegypti and Ae. Albopictus are the two vectors that are responsible for the transmission of the virus. ... -
Horizontal gene transfer: an insight into antimicrobial resistance
Tanveer, Mahbubul Hoque; Rafa, Atihar Arzu; Sharma, Arnob; Islam, Tashfia (Brac University, 2022-10)Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which affects a variety of infectious pathogens, is a pivotal public health issue for many countries and corporations. Governments across the globe are starting to take heed of an issue ... -
Importance of antigen detection for the screening of COVID-19
Khan, Suraiya (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 ... -
Isolation and characterization of Bacteriophages from surface water specific for Vibrio Cholerae
Priyanka, Farzana Mansur (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 ... -
Isolation and Characterization of E. coli Bacteriophage from Raw Meat and Environment Water
Islam, Mahbuba; Siddik, Md Abu Bakar; Mondol, Sudorshon; Hossain, Md Shahriar (Brac University, 2023-12)Several diseases such as stomach cramps, urinary tract infections, and diarrhea are caused by the bacterium Escherichia coli. One of the five subtypes of E. coli which are ETEC, EPEC, EAEC, EHEC/STEC, and EIEC are responsible ... -
