In vitro antimicrobial, antihemolytic potential of gallic acid and its combined effect with metronidazole against pathogenic bacteria
(Brac University, 2022-11)Multidrug-resistant (MDR) or extensive drug-resistant (XDR) pathogenic bacteria pose a grave threat to human and animal health on a global scale. Plant-derived phytochemicals including alkaloids, flavonoids, and terpenoids ... -
In vitro collateral sensitivity: a potential approach against multiple antibiotic resistant bacteria
(Brac University, 2023-07)Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) has long been recognized as a major issue. With the emergence and rapid spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, the world's stock of viable antibiotics is rapidly depleting. In this regard, ... -
In vitro culture establishment from Cotyledon and Embryonic Axis Explants of two Bangladeshi Sunflower (Helianthus annus L.) varieties
(BRAC University, 2015-03)Sunflower is considered as source of cholesterol free edible oil. Because of cross pollinating nature of this plant, it is difficult to identify true breeding homozygous line, thus, breeding becomes intricate. Besides, ... -
