Can bacteria fly? - bacteriological assessment of common fly (Musca domestica) as a potential carrier for public health epidemics
(Brac University, 2023-09)The primary aim of the research work is to analyze the diverse bacterial presence in the houseflies (Musca domestica) found from the fish markets and street food in some major areas of Dhaka city. Common house flies (Musca ... -
Characterization of acinetobacter baumannii from hospital-adjacent waterbodies in Dhaka city
(Brac University, 2023-06)Acinetobacter baumannii has become a significant pathogen over the last few decades. It is naturally found in food, soil, and surface water but in clinical settings, it has demonstrated increasing health problems and ... -
Comparative analysis of Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from hospital wastewater & community tap water: investigating antibiotic resistance and AMR genes
(Brac University, 2023-08)Antibiotic resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) has emerged as important nosocomial pathogen associated with various infections in clinical settings. It has the ability to persist in the environment for prolonged ... -
Detection of multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in chicken samples collected from wet markets of Dhaka City
(Brac University, 2023-06)In both humans and animals, antibiotics are often used as a kind of treatment and to prevent illness. Antibiotic resistance may, however, also increase due to broad antibiotic usage. This study aimed to investigate the ... -
Determination of prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility pattern of bacteria isolated from kitchen utensils of BRAC university of Dhaka, Bangladesh
(BRAC Univeristy, 2018-03)Kitchen utensils become contaminated by people, food, pet or other environmental sources and cross contamination occurs. This study aimed at isolating, identifying, determining antibiotic susceptibility pattern and ... -
Drug resistant pathogens isolated from wound infection
(Brac University, 2021-06)For several decades antimicrobial resistance is growing rapidly and limiting the efficacy of antibiotics. Resistance to antibiotics can be accelerated by a variety of factors including human practices, drug tolerance, drug ... -

Incorporating probiotics in our daily food consumption to combat antibiotic resistance
(Brac University, 2022-10)An increase in antibiotic resistance throughout the globe threatens the survival of these lifesaving drugs (ABR). One of the most pressing global health issues is antibiotic resistance, which develops when bacteria or ... -
Isolation and characterization of bacteria from burn-injured patients and detection of their antibiotic sensitivity pattern
(Brac University, 2022-11)Burn injuries are one of the most prevalent public health issues and cause more than 26,000 deaths every year all over the world. Burn injuries are skin or tissue damages that are caused by various agents like fire, ... -
Isolation of Staphylococcus spp. from hospital wastewater and adjacent community household water: Special focus on their antibiotic resistance
(Brac University, 2023-01)Staphylococcus spp. is a leading cause of human bacterial infections. These infections can damage the skin, soft tissues, bones, circulation, and respiratory system. It has the unusual capacity to rapidly develop ... -
The mutagenic effects of pesticides on enteric bacterial pathogens: a scoping review
(Brac University, 2022-07)Background: Pesticides are chemical substances that are being extensively used worldwide leading to the contamination of environment, particularly in soil and aquatic systems. Thus, enteric bacterial pathogens living in ... -
Screening of gram-positive opportunistic bacteria from oral cancer infection and their antibiotic resistance pattern
(BRAC University, 2018)The immune compromised patients after treatment of oral cancer may have a chance of infection by drug-resistant opportunistic microbes. This study investigated the gram-positive opportunistic bacteria found in the oral ... -
Study of antibiotic resistance gene transfer between isolates from patients with urinary tract infection via conjugation
(BRAC Univeristy, 2018-05)The Urinary Tract Infection is caused recurrently by Escherichia coli and also by Proteus spp., Klebsiella spp., Enterococcus spp., Staphylococcus spp. etc. [3, 11] Recently, UTIs are considered a severe public health ... -
A study on relationship of Plasmids with Azithromycin and Ciprofloxacin Resistance in isolates causing Urinary Tract Infection
(BRAC Univeristy, 2018-07)The urinary tract infection is caused by the members of Enterobacteriaceae family. The emergence of multi-drug resistant bacteria is a great challenge and concern worldwide. The aim of this research was to determine the ... -
