Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Aqueous Extract of Aegle marmelos Fruit on Adherence and β-Lactam Resistance of Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli by Down Regulating Outer Membrane Protein CSubramaniya Bharathi Raja, Malliga Raman Murali, G. K. Malathi et al.Problem statement: Enteropathogenic Escherichia Coli (EPEC) continue to be a major health problem, leading to death due to diarrhea, predominantly in children below the age of five. Due to evolution of multi drug resistance in EPEC and side effects caused to host by antibiotics necessitated a search for alternative medicines from medicinal plants. One such medicinal plant used since ancient … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,615 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibiotic Resistance of Escherichia Coli Isolated From Poultry and Poultry Environment of BangladeshMuhammad Ali Akond, S.M.R. Hassan, Saidul Alam, Momena ShirinProblem statement: Increased emergence in microbial resistance to antibiotics is a growing problem in Bangladesh, a tropical country with a large agrarian population having limited medical facilities. Wide spread use of antimicrobials in poultry farming here is a concern of multi-drug microbial resistance development that can potentially be transmitted to human pathogens even from non-pathogenic carrier strains. Attempt was made … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 11,762 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCorrelation Between in vitro Biofilm Formation and Virulence Properties of Extra-Intestinal Pathogenic Escherichia Coli (Expec)Md. Fakruddin, Khanjada Shahnewaj Bin Mannan, Reaz Mohammad MazumdarAbout 65 Escherichia coli strains isolated from extra-intestinal sites were included in this study to determine their biofilm formation capability and virulence properties. About 87% ExPEC isolates were motile and 12.3% were found to be non-motile. Only 12.30% isolates were strong biofilm former (SBF >1.5) whereas 18.46% isolates were non biofilm former. About 71% isolates were capable to express curli … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 14 Jan 2015 · 6,942 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenomic Signature of Respiratory Microbes on Human Scalp EpitheliaBhola Nath Paul, Vani Mishra, Jasmeet Kaur Chhabra, Divyani PaulDespite overlap between habitats occupied by diverse Airborne Respiratory Microbes (ARM), the airway epithelium is known for respiratory microbe infections, human scalp epithelium is undocumented. Analogous to airways epithelium, the scalp epithelium is vulnerable to infection by dormant variants of sensitive microbes that underlie many chronic and relapsing diseases, difficult to eradicate by conventional antibiotics and challenged our ability to … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2015 · 7,074 accessesView PDFCite
