Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment on the Effect of Formulative Materials on the Viability and Efficacy of Serratia marcescens-a Biocontrol Agent Against Fusarium oxysporum F. sp. cubense race 4A. S. Y. Ting, M. T. Fang, C. S. TeeProblem statement: Application of biocontrol agents to the field in pre-existing free-cell forms often results in poor cell viability which subsequently affects their efficacy in suppressing pathogen development. There is therefore a need to bioformulate these biocontrol agents not just to enhance their field potential, but for easy storage, delivery and application as well. Approach: In this study, the bioformulations … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,467 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Clonal Clusters of Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates from Chennai by Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase Genotyping and Antibiotic Resistance Phenotyping AnalysisC. Kamatchi, H. Magesh, Uma Sekhar, Rama VaidyanathanProblem statement: An increased resistance to antibiotics has been reported in Klebsiella pneumoniae, an opportunistic gram negative pathogen belonging to Entrobacteraceae due to the evolution and spread of plasmid encoded extended spectrum beta lactamases and other genes conferring cross-resistance to other antibiotics. This is of concern due to the increasing cost of antibiotic treatment and the spread of multidrug resistance … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,953 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of a 4th Generation-Cephalosporin Introduction upon the Incidence of Multidrug-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria in a Non-Teaching HospitalGuilherme Henrique Campos Furtado, Luciana Baria Perdiz, Eduardo Alexandrino Servolo MedeirosProblem statement: Antimicrobial resistance is a worrisome situation in hospitals around the world and the misuse of certain classes of antimicrobials has contributed for this situation. Approach: We performed a prospective surveillance study on the incidence of multi-drug resistant bacteria before (phase 1) and after (phase 2) the introduction of a 4th-generation cephalosporin in a non-teaching hospital. Results: There was … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,876 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibacterial and Antioxidant Activities of Typhonium Flagelliforme (Lodd.) Blume TuberSyam Mohan, Ahmad Bustamam Abdul, Siddig Ibrahim Abdel Wahab et al.Problem Statement: Multiple drug resistance in human pathogenic micro organisms has developed due to indiscriminate use of modern antimicrobial drugs generally used in the management of infectious diseases. This increases the importance of exploiting the natural sources instead modern drugs. Approach: The antibacterial and antioxidant activity of different extracts from of Typhonium flagelliforme (L.) Blume tuber (family: Araceae) commonly called … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 10,420 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Review on Some Organic Acids Additives as Shelf Life Extenders of Fresh Beef CutsMohamed B. Jamilah, K.A. Abbas, R. Abdul RahmanThis study was aiming to present some approaches by which the shelf life of fresh beef cuts was extended. These approaches were based on using organic acids. Therefore the work was started with highlighting the deterioration of some quality attributes due to spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms. These attributes included colour, flavour and lipid oxidation changes. In a given holding temperature, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,736 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRat Cardiomyocytes Express a Classical Epithelial Beta-DefensinAnnika Linde, Gerald H. Lushington, Frank Blecha, Tonatiuh MelgarejoBeta-defensins (BDs) are classical epithelial antimicrobial peptides of immediate importance in innate host defense. Since recent studies have suggested that certain BDs are also expressed in non-traditional tissues, including whole heart homogenate, and because effector molecules of innate immunity and inflammation can influence the development of certain cardiovascular disease processes, we hypothesized that BDs are produced by cardiomyocytes as a … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,994 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCurrent Approaches for the Prevention of Surgical Site InfectionsSander Florman, Ronald Lee NicholsSurgical site infections (SSIs) are the most common type of nosocomial infection among surgical patients and are commonly caused by the patients’ own microbial flora. The prevalence of SSI is a major concern because of the associated increase in the incidence of morbidity and mortality, length of hospitalization and cost of care for postoperative patients. Key factors that determine whether … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,824 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiological Activity of Methyl tert-butyl Ether in Relation to Soil Microorganisms has a Negative Environmental ImpactGholam H.S. BonjarFuel oxygenates are added to gasoline to enhance combustion efficiency of automobiles and reduce air pollution. Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is the most commonly used oxygenate because of its low cost, high-octane level and ease of blending with gasoline. However, due to its water solubility, high mobility and low biodegradability it leaches in soil subsurface at the speed of groundwater. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,661 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIsolation and Characterization of Superior Symbiotic Bacterial Isolates from the Oenggae Sea with Potential as AntibacterialLukas Pardosi, Adelya Irawan Manalu, Charles Venirius LisnahanSponges are one of the marine biota that have a symbiotic relationship with bacteria which can produce secondary metabolites as antimicrobials. The main aim of this research was to isolate and identify bacteria that had potential as antibacterials against multi-drug resistant test bacteria. The sponsor samples used in this research were Stylissa massa, Salvador Dali, and Angelas sp. The methods … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 3 · 26 Mar 2024 · 5,053 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEndometritis Control and Enhanced Reproductive Performance in Aceh Cow Using Medicinal PlantsTeuku Armansyah, Tongku Nizwan Siregar et al.Antibiotic treatment for endometritis has some weaknesses due to its toxicity and unexpected side effects. Therefore, the utilization of plant extract as antimicrobials is an alternative to antibiotics. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of betel leaf, moringa leaf, and garlic extracts in treating endometritis in Aceh cows. We used nine Aceh cows at 3-5 years old, 150-250 kg body … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 3 · 2 Oct 2023 · 5,478 accessesView PDFCite
