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 ...
Prevalence and diversity of antimicrobial resistant pathogens from medical and community wastewater in Dhaka City
(Brac University, 2022-05)
Background: Uncontrolled and excessive exposure of antibiotics in the medical waste poses a
selective pressure to acquire and disseminate highly antibiotic resistance genes to common
pathogenic bacteria. This study is ...
