Isolation and characterization of vibrio spp. from surface water in Dhaka city
(Brac University, 2019-01)
Vibrio spp. is an estuarine bacterium prevalent in water bodies throughout the world. Twelve
species of the Vibrioceae family are known to cause diseases in human. The aim of this study
was to investigate the occurrence, ...
Horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance in surface water of Dhaka City
(Brac University, 2019-05)
Horizontal gene transfer is one of the most widespread phenomenon by which bacteria evolve themselves in the environment. Such transfer is often reported to be responsible for spreading antibiotic resistance genes in nature. ...
Virulence determinants and antibiotic resistance of Extended-Spectrum Beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolated from hospital environment
(Brac University, 2019)
Klebsiella pneumonia is a member of gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae associated with community and hospital-acquired infections through highly resistant clones. Infection by Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella is increasing ...
A study of prevalence and antimicrobial resistance and pathogenic activity of bacteria in the air of Dhaka city
(Brac University, 2019-12)
Air pollution in Dhaka city is a burning question now. A new study suggests that Bangladesh composes the most polluted air with Dhaka securing the second position in terms of pollution (daily star). According to air visual ...
Are the lakes and rivers of Dhaka city safe for water-based recreation? A case study of Salmonella spp.
(Brac University, 2019-04)
Unplanned urbanization, defective sewerage system and lack of public concern can result in contamination of surface water bodies. As these water bodies are a major part of diurnal and recreational activities, contamination ...
Analysis and comparison between the Genome of CRISPR bacteriophages
(Brac University, 2019-12)
Viruses that infect bacteria are called bacteriophages or shortened as phages. Like all viruses, Phages are absolute parasites, although carry all the information to direct their reproduction in an appropriate host, they ...
In silico drug designing against Klebsiella pneumoniae adhesin protein
(Brac University, 2019-01)
Klebsiella pneumoniae, is one of the causative agents of many nosocomial infections. In spite of
having a plethora of information on the virulent factors of this bacteria, no definite vaccines have
yet been designed or ...
Molecular assessment of bacteriophage genome as a potential therapeutic agent in treating multi-drug resistant bacterial infection
(Brac University, 2019-12)
Bacteriophage therapy sheds a fresh light upon the critical growth of antibiotic resistance. Antimicrobial resistance, one of the major public health concerns, requires a novel therapeutic strategy to be optimized. Phage ...
Computational structural analysis and modeling of plant PRR DORN1 ectodomain
(BRAC University, 2019-06)
DORN1 also known as P2K1 is the first member of the plant-specific purinoreceptor subfamily termed P2K and belongs to the vast gene family of legume-type (L-type) lectin receptor kinases. Research has shown that DORN1 ...
