Prevalence and molecular characterization of extended spectrum Beta-Lactamase producing multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates
(2017-06)
The discovery of antibiotics has revolutionized health care worldwide. However, the life-saving role of antibiotics is threatened by the emergence of antibiotic- resistant ‘superbugs’. With the emergence of antibiotic ...
Association of vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism with young onset diabetes millitus in a Bangladeshi population
(BRAC University, 2010-04)
Vitamin D has an important immunomodulatory property and also has been suggested to play an important role in cellular metabolism. Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene
polymorphism has also been found to be associated with insulin ...
Detection of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi by nested PCR using different procedures of nucleic acid extraction
(BRAC University, 2010-05)
Typhoid fever is one of the major health problems in Bangladesh. It is caused by the
bacterium Salmonella enterica serover Typhi (S. Typhi). The infection rate of S. Typhi is
higher in children. The conventional diagnostic ...
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 ...
Characterization and prevalence of Post-COVID symptoms among recovered patients in Bangladesh
