Application of lactobacillus species in the development of probiotic poultry feed as an alternative to antibiotic growth promoters
(BRAC University, 2017-03)The increased use of antibiotics in animal feed for growth promotion may cause antibiotic resistance in animal and humans; due to this, alternative measures are searched to maintain production performance of poultry without ... -
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 ... -
Behaviour of gut bacteria upon stress in infants with ileostomy due to Hirschsprung disease
(BRAC University, 2017-06)Hirschsprung disease (HD) is a congenital one where the distal part of intestine lacks nerve ganglions, resulting in failure of defecation through anus. As treatment purpose, a stoma is created temporarily in the abdomen. ... -
Degradation of dyes used in textile Industries by bacteria isolated from local textile effluents
(BRAC University, 2017-06)The effluent discharges from textile processing industries contain a significant amount of unreacted dyes. Release of these dyes into the environment causes toxic effects to the environment. The application of microorganisms ... -
