Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibiogram of Bacteria Isolated from Kunun-Zaki Drink Sold in Keffi MetropolisMakwin Danladi Makut, Mary Azumi Nyam, Smart Obumneme Obiekezie, Aisha Eleojo AbubakarKunun-zaki drink is a locally prepared indigenous non-alcoholic beverage that is widely produced and consumed in Nigeria. Standard microbiological methods were employed to isolate bacteria from Kunun-zaki drink sold in Keffi metropolis, Nasarawa State, Nigeria. Samples of Kunun-zaki drink were collected from ten (10) different locations and their bacteriological loads were determined in terms of total bacterial counts using standard … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 9 Sep 2013 · 8,464 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification and Characterization of Antibiotic-Producing Actinomycetes IsolatesMeera Kumari, Bat-Erdene Myagmarjav, Birendra Prasad, Madhusudan ChoudharyActinomycetes are a gram-positive, filamentous subgroup of bacteria most known for antibiotic production. In fact, most of the antibiotics available today have originated from actinomycetes, namely from the genus Streptomyces. Novel bacteria with antimicrobial activities have been discovered from bacterial screen studies for decades and there is still much more yet to be unearthed. One hundred seventy five strains of … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 25 Jun 2013 · 15,441 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDifferential Banding Pattern Based Identification of Urinary Tract Infection Causing BacteriaPoulomi Nandy, Md Aftabuddin, Ashoke Ranjan Thakur, Shaon RayChaudhuriUrinary Tract Infection (UTI) affects all age groups, but women are more susceptible than men. These infections are typically caused by E coli, Proteus mirabilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus fecalis and so on. Since uncultivable microbes are numerically abundant in urine samples, culture independent detection seems to be the method of choice for diagnosing UTI. This study … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 20 Jun 2013 · 8,099 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 abstractBioassay Guided Isolation of Antibacterial Compounds from Andrographis paniculataAbubakar Sule, Qamar Uddin Ahmed, Othman Abd. Samah et al.Problem statement: Chronic disease-causing bacteria of medical importance have developed resistance to antibiotics, hence, necessitating distinct and constant need for safe and efficient therapeutic agents. Plants are considered potent candidate for this aim. A way out of reducing antibiotic resistance and adverse effects on host is the employment of antibiotic resistance inhibitors of plant origin. Approach: About 5 kg pulverized … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 13 Jun 2011 · 10,027 accessesView PDFCite
