Antibiotic adjuvants in combating antibiotic resistance
Tui, Nazoa Shimin (Brac University, 2023-01)Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has now become one of the significant global health challenges and are not limited to natural antibiotics but also for synthetic antibiotics. Therefore, it is crucial to search for more ... -
Antibiotic resistance, virulence and biofilm forming capacity of acinetobacter baumannii isolated from Goranchatbari sub-catchment in Dhaka city
Haque, Nayeema (Brac University, 2023-08)The presence of ESBL producing Acinetobacter baumannii is a major concern for various hospital and community healthcare settings, often being linked to an increased incidence of nosocomial infections. The biofilm formation ... -
Bio-sorption studies of chromium (VI) ions with modified chicken feathers
Shaima, Nabila Afrin (Brac University, 2021-12)Adsorption is one of the most important methods for cleaning industrial waste effluents. Adsorbents such as activated carbon have been used for a long time to remove heavy metal ions from wastewater. However, such adsorbents' ... -
Can phages be cheated? - A study on the influence of inducing molecules on bacteriophage propagation at low host cell densities
Kabir, A.B.M. Rezwanul (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 ... -
Comparative analysis of CRISPR-Cas systems of Yersinia pestis and Escherichia coli strains. (November 2020 – December 2021)
Nwabunwanne, Eze Uchenna (Brac University, 2022-01)The CRISPR-Cas system primarily refers to the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and its related protein enzymes (Cas) that confer adaptive protection against bacteriophages and other exogenous ... -
Detection of antibiotic resistance spectrum and resistance genes for aminoglycoside, macrolide, and β-lactam antibiotics using wound swab samples
Safain, Kazi Sarjana (Brac University, 2020-01)Antibiotic resistance has become a global health problem with a decrease in efficacy in treating common infections, resulting in increased sufferings, duration of hospital stay and economic burden. Infections in the wound ... -
Development of in-vitro bio-assay for The bioactivity determination of human Erythropoietin (rHuEPO) bio-pharmaceutical products (November 2020 - August 2021)
Lamia, Ayeasha Siddika (Brac University, 2021-10)Erythropoietin is mainly secreted by the kidney and involved in the growth and maturation of erythroid cells from precursors (Jelkmann, et al, 2013). Insufficient production of EPO could result in anemia. Considering ... -
Effect of environmental seasons in the epidemiology of waterborne diseases: a review
Noor, Afifa (Brac University, 2023-02)The effects of seasonal climate change are uncertain because of the complicated links between seasonal climate and waterborne illnesses. It is so challenging to predict which waterborne diseases will be most impacted, what ... -
An investigation of Mobilized Colistin-Resistance (MCR) gene and underlying dissemination mechanism using clinical, poultry and environmental samples in Bangladesh
Tasnim, Sadia (Brac University, 2020-01)Colistin, widely considered as the last-resort antibiotic for the treatment against multidrug-resistant (MDR) gram-negative bacteria worldwide, is being used indiscriminately in the poultry, livestock and fishery farms ... -
Isolation and characterization of biofilm degrading bacteriophage from Gulshan lake specific for escherichia coli and vibrio cholerae
Anika, Afroza Khanam (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 ... -
Isolation, identification, and characterization of Streptomyces species from common scab lesions
Maysha, Fayruz (Brac University, 2020-06)Streptomyces scabiei is largely accepted as the causal organism of common scab on potato in Debiganj, Rangpur and other Streptomyces species associated with common scab are not often considered. This study, therefore, ... -
Potential use of Vibriophage in association with antibiotic to treat the vibrio Cholerae biofilm
Farheen, Saria (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 ... -
Prospects of Biodegradable Polymer (Polyhydroxyalkanoate) production with wastewater
Nayeema, Mehbubun (Brac University, 2019-10)Plastic production and accumulation have devastating environmental effects, and consequently, the world is in need to focus on environmentally friendly plastic substitutes such as sustainable biofuels, biomaterials, and ... -
Quorum regulated resistance of E. coli against environmental bacteriophages
Khan, Md. Arafat (Brac University, 2019-09)Predation of bacteria by their corresponding phages have a significant influence on the population structure of different communities of bacteria. E. coli infection has become a safety concern globally and they are causing ... -
A study on the effect of genome size on the multiplication rate of bacteriophages
Shishir, Tushar Ahmed (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 ... -
Using synergic relation between bacteriophage and a bacterial species for checking the effects of antibiotic resistance genes on the lytic property of bacteriophages.
Sarwar, Fahim (Brac University, 2021)Bacterial transformation is a process of horizontal gene transfer (hgt) where a few bacteria pick up foreign genetic material from the environment. In terms of newer therapies being applied, antimicrobial resistance is ...
