Oral microbial profile and their connection with systemic diseases: a review
(Brac University, 2023-11)
In countries like Australia, Spain, the UK, and the USA, the interrelation of systemic diseases with oral microbes, has grabbed the attention of the experts. Oral microbes are the causative agents of several systemic ...
Isolation, characterization and analysis of multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from hospital adjacent lake soil in Dhaka city
(Brac University, 2023-09)
Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative bacillus that exhibits the features of an obligate aerobe. The observed entity exhibits pleomorphism and lacks motility. Acinetobacter baumannii, a pathogen known for its opportunistic ...
Effect of free DNA of environment surface water on bacterial biofilm formation
(Brac University, 2023-11)
Bacteriophages, commonly referred to as bacterial viruses, have long been recognized as natural
adversaries of bacteria. They find application in medical settings for eliminating bacterial
infections. The prevalence of ...

(Brac University, 2023-08)
Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kpn) is a member of the Enterobacteriaceae which is a gram-negative, encapsulated, and non-motile bacterium. K. pneumoniae spreads a range of infections, including pneumonia, urinary tract infections ...
The combined effects of ciprofloxacin and vitamin C on the multi drug resistant Gram-negative bacteria
(Brac University, 2023-09)
Antibiotic resistance has become a major cause of superinfection and mortality globally. Combination therapy can be used to treat multi-drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Vitamin C can be used in combination with ...
Effects of vitamin C in enhancing the activities of antibiotics against multi-drug resistant bacteria
(Brac University, 2023-09)
The emergence and proliferation of antibiotic-resistant pathogens have become a global threat. A large number of the pathogens are becoming resistant even to the last resort of antibiotics. The project aimed to study the ...
Unveiling the role of free DNA in biofilm formation; potential relevance in Cholera epidemiology
(Brac University, 2023-10)
This study meticulously probes the impact of both isogenic and heterogenic genomic DNA, in its
entirety and fragmented states, on the density of biofilms formed by distinct bacterial strains,
spanning both gram-positive ...
