Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssay for Rapid Screening of Phytochemicals as Antimicrobial AgentsGhosh Saurav, Indranil Mukherjee, Ashoke Ranjan Thakur, Shaon Ray ChaudhuriThe present study aims to develop a rapid method for antibiotic sensitivity detection and screening of natural products for antimicrobial activity. The dimension of WBC in blood film was found to get altered when seeded with bacteria and monitored under light microscope. The shrinkage was prevented in response to antibiotic treatment and validated using statistical analysis (two sample one tailed … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 18 Mar 2013 · 8,307 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBacteriological Examination of Computer Keyboards and Mouse Devices and Their Susceptibility Patterns to DisinfectantsOnochie Charles Chimezie, Anyim Chukwudi, Alo Moses Nnaemeka et al.Computers are ubiquitous and have been shown to be contaminated with potentially pathogenic bacteria in some communities. There is no economical way to test all the keyboards and mouse out there, but there are common-sense ways to prevent bacterial contamination or eliminate it if it exists. In this study, swabs specimens were collected from surfaces of 250 computer keyboards and … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 19 Jan 2013 · 13,518 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHospital Water Supply as a Potential Source of Opportunistic PathogensH. T. El-Zanfaly, N. A. Hassanean, E. M. Hassan, L. I. El-SeadawyIn Egypt as well as in many other developing countries, there are no specific standards for hospital water. Even water is free from the traditional bacterial indicators, it may represent a source of health hazards especially for elderly, children and patients under dialysis due to the presence of opportunistic pathogenic bacteria. The study was carried out on the bacteriological water … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 18 May 2012 · 7,279 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDecolorization of Distillery Effluent by Thermotolerant Bacillus subtilisSoni Tiwari, Rajeeva Gaur, Priyanka Rai, Ashutosh TripathiProblem statement: Ethanol production from sugarcane molasses generate large volume of effluent containing high Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) along with melanoidin, a color compound generally produced by “Millard reaction”. Melanodin is a recalcitrant compound degraded by specific microorganisms having ability to produce mono and di-oxygenases peroxidases, phenoxidases and laccases, are mainly responsible for degradation of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 14 Mar 2012 · 7,652 accessesView PDFCite
