Isolation and molecular identification of salt tolerant probiotic bacteria and their impacts on rice (Oryza sativa) seedlings
(Brac University, 2021-10)Soil salinity is a serious problem in the coastal areas of Bangladesh. It is the main barrier to attain sustainability in crop production in those particular areas. Moreover, the situation is getting worse along with time. ... -
Isolation, identification, and characterization of Streptomyces species from common scab lesions
(Brac University, 2020-06)Streptomyces scabiei is largely accepted as the causal organism of common scab on potato in Debiganj, Rangpur and other Streptomyces species associated with common scab are not often considered. This study, therefore, ... -
Molecular profiling, antibiotic susceptibility patterns and pathogenic traits of ESBL producing Acinetobacter baumannii Isolated from wastewater discharges from Goranchatbari sub-catchment area in Dhaka city
(Brac University, 2024-05)Acinetobacter baumannii is one of the six pathogens for which new antibiotic formulations must be developed, as recommended by the World Health Organization. In this study, 28 wastewater samples were collected from the ... -
An overview of phage therapy as an alternative option of MDR bacteria and possible future of COVID-19 treatment
(Brac University, 2022-09)One of the greatest difficulties that humanity will confront in the near future is antibiotic resistance. (Bacterio) phage therapy is a valuable therapeutic alternative to antibiotics, and while the concept is almost as ... -
Potential causative agents of biofilm-induced Cholera: an in vitro approach
(Brac University, 2024-06)Cholera, while easily treatable, is extremely common across many parts of the world, especially in the regions close to water bodies. The bacteria responsible, Vibrio cholerae, has an interesting affinity to forming ... -
Potential use of Vibriophage in association with antibiotic to treat the vibrio Cholerae biofilm
(Brac University, 2021-08)In cholera prevalent areas, Vibrio cholerae in the aqueous environment can exist in a cell aggregated form covered by an extra polysaccharide matrix called Biofilm. These type of cells are named as VBNC (viable but non ... -
Production, purification and characterization of cellulase from bacteria
(Brac University, 2022-09)Microorganisms isolated from soil samples that showed growth on carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) agar media were selected for enzyme production by utilizing carbon sources such as CMC, leaves and paper. Biochemical analysis ... -
Prospects of Biodegradable Polymer (Polyhydroxyalkanoate) production with wastewater
(Brac University, 2019-10)Plastic production and accumulation have devastating environmental effects, and consequently, the world is in need to focus on environmentally friendly plastic substitutes such as sustainable biofuels, biomaterials, and ... -
Quorum regulated resistance of E. coli against environmental bacteriophages
(Brac University, 2019-09)Predation of bacteria by their corresponding phages have a significant influence on the population structure of different communities of bacteria. E. coli infection has become a safety concern globally and they are causing ... -
Resuscitation of bacterial biofilm by sunlight: effects on different enteropathogenic bacteria
(Brac University, 2021-08)It is an established fact that most bacteria go through motile and sessile form during its lifetime. This transition has significant roles in seasonal outbreaks of certain bacterial diseases and bacterial pathogenesis. ... -
RISK 6 transcriptomic signature for diagnosis and treatment monitoring of extrapulmonary tuberculosis
(Brac University, 2024)Diagnosing extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) is challenging due to the diverse clinical manifestations of the disease and the requirement for invasive sampling and specialized processing. Moreover, current methods lack ... -
A study on the effect of genome size on the multiplication rate of bacteriophages
(Brac University, 2019-09)Bacteriophages encapsidated by a protein coat have the competency of infecting bacteria, are the most abundant living entities on earth whose genome in general falls into three size ranges and 30-50kbp genetic material ... -
Synergistic effect of bacteriophage with antibiotic in the eradication of vibrio cholerae infection: an in-vivo analysis in mice model
(Brac University, 2024-08)Cholera remains a significant global health threat, especially in regions like Bangladesh with annual outbreaks. The causative agent, Vibrio cholerae, thrives in aquatic environments and forms biofilms, complicating ... -
Using synergic relation between bacteriophage and a bacterial species for checking the effects of antibiotic resistance genes on the lytic property of bacteriophages.
(Brac University, 2021)Bacterial transformation is a process of horizontal gene transfer (hgt) where a few bacteria pick up foreign genetic material from the environment. In terms of newer therapies being applied, antimicrobial resistance is ...
