Kabir, A.B.M. Rezwanul (Brac University, 2020-06)It has been reported in vitro that bacteriophages require a certain host cell density in order to propagate. However, previous studies have shown that in environment, especially in water bodies, bacteriophage infection ... -
Comparative analysis of CRISPR-Cas systems of Yersinia pestis and Escherichia coli strains. (November 2020 – December 2021)
Nwabunwanne, Eze Uchenna (Brac University, 2022-01)The CRISPR-Cas system primarily refers to the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and its related protein enzymes (Cas) that confer adaptive protection against bacteriophages and other exogenous ... -
Correlation between the prevalence of plasmids and AMR genes in the environmental isolates of different bacterial species
Rahman, Wasifa Ar (2023-07)Bacterial gene transfer is responsible for spread of antibiotic resistance in bacteria and evolution of bacteria which can be a threat of virulence as well play role in maintenance. Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is the ... -
Correlation of mutations with the minimum inhibitory concentrations of isoniazid drug among isoniazid-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates in Bangladesh
Ruhee, Noshin Nawer (Brac University, 2023-08)Tuberculosis is still one of the major causes of mortality in the globe. Isoniazid (INH), a first-line medication used to treat tuberculosis is becoming increasingly resistant. With the rise of INH resistance we need more ... -
Detection of antibiotic resistance spectrum and resistance genes for aminoglycoside, macrolide, and β-lactam antibiotics using wound swab samples
Safain, Kazi Sarjana (Brac University, 2020-01)Antibiotic resistance has become a global health problem with a decrease in efficacy in treating common infections, resulting in increased sufferings, duration of hospital stay and economic burden. Infections in the wound ... -
Detection of genetic diversity of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater to monitor COVID-19 transmission
Sarwar, Subyeta Binte (Brac University, 2023-08)Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), an infectious respiratory disease caused by the viral strain, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has become a distinct cause of the global burden and a ... -
Development of in-vitro bio-assay for The bioactivity determination of human Erythropoietin (rHuEPO) bio-pharmaceutical products (November 2020 - August 2021)
Lamia, Ayeasha Siddika (Brac University, 2021-10)Erythropoietin is mainly secreted by the kidney and involved in the growth and maturation of erythroid cells from precursors (Jelkmann, et al, 2013). Insufficient production of EPO could result in anemia. Considering ... -
Diversity of salmonella typhi-phages in Dhaka city through whole genome sequencing
Islam, Shuborno (Brac University, 2024-06)Bacteriophages and their hosts form a vast ecosystem, with bacteria evolving diverse defense mechanisms against phage infection while phages simultaneously develop strategies to overcome these defenses. Limited data on ... -
Downregulation of SOCS1 gene in the development of Guillain-Barré syndrome
Khurshid, Sarah (Brac University, 2023-12)Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS), is a post-infectious disorder of the peripheral nervous system mediated by an aberrant immune response where cytokines play an imperative role in disease pathogenesis. Suppressor of cytokine ... -
Effect of environmental seasons in the epidemiology of waterborne diseases: a review
Noor, Afifa (Brac University, 2023-02)The effects of seasonal climate change are uncertain because of the complicated links between seasonal climate and waterborne illnesses. It is so challenging to predict which waterborne diseases will be most impacted, what ... -
The emergence of antimicrobial resistance genes over the years and their geographic bias
Chakraborty, Deepanwita (Brac University, 2022-09)Antimicrobial agents have played a very intrinsic role in human and animal health since the beginning of the world. However, our irresponsibility has made this life saver, equally deadly. This study shows how much AMR has ... -
