Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of Azithromycin Resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae in the Setting of Trachoma Mass Drug Administration: A Systematic ReviewNazia Khan, Barbara Lachana Onen, Robin Hilder, Robin BaileyTrachoma is a blinding eye disease caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. The current global elimination of trachoma initiative includes the use of mass drug distribution of azithromycin in areas where the prevalence of follicular trachoma is >10% in children aged 1-9 years. This study aims to investigate the high quality evidence of whether mass drug administration for trachoma causes … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 24 Jul 2020 · 7,596 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy on Carbon Source Screening Technology for Prevention and Control of Banana Fusarium WiltJin Li, Tingting Duan, Zhong Lin et al.With the spread of banana Fusarium wilt and the aggravation of the damage, it has become the biggest threat to the banana industry. Many studies have shown that bio-organic fertilizer plays an important role in the prevention and control of banana wilt, but most studies focused on biocontrol bacterium screening, not screening carbon sources that could prevent banana wilt, which … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 5 Mar 2020 · 7,263 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractScreening and Characterization of Sponge-Associated Bacteria Producing Bioactive Compounds Anti-Vibrio sp.Aris Tri Wahyudi, Jepri Agung Priyanto, Wenang Maharsiwi, Rika Indri AstutiIn Indonesia, vibriosis is the main disease in shrimp. This disease is caused by Vibrio sp that may decrease the productivity of shrimp cultivation. Thus, exploration for new bioactive compounds as vibriosis biocontrol agent is necessary. Marine sponge-associated bacteria is one of many sources for bioactive compounds. The aim of this study was to screen marine sponge-associated bacteria producing anti-Vibrio … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 3 · 5 Oct 2018 · 10,357 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConstruction of Recombinant Bioleaching Bacteria Thiobacillus ferrooxidans with Fluoride-Resistant ActivityYun-Chang Cao, Hong-Bo Wen, Nan Hu et al.Thiobacillus ferrooxidans is an important bioleaching bacterium, widely used in leaching, recovery of low-grade metals and environmental bioremediation. In bio-metallurgy industry, fluoride existing in some hard rock uranium deposits in south China severely affects the bacteria viability and inhibit leaching reproduction. In this study, the flr-4 gene that has strong resistance to fluorine ion in Caenorhabditis elegans, was cloned into … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 23 May 2018 · 11,341 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractProsthetic Valve Endocarditis Due to Clostridium Limosum: A Case Report and Review of the LiteratureLok Yung, Carl Urban, Negin Niknam, Glenn TurettClostridium limosum is an anaerobic gram positive rod-shaped bacterium found in soil and can cause infections in a variety of animals. Rarely has this organism caused infections in humans. While clostridial prosthetic valve endocarditis is reported infrequently, we document the first human case of prosthetic valve endocarditis as the sole pathogen, due to Clostrdium limosum. …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 10 Oct 2019 · 7,767 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Cultural Conditions for Production of Exopolysaccaride by Halomonas marina HMA 103 under Batch-CultureArundhati Pal, Amrita Biswas, Sriya Chatterjee, A. K. PaulA moderately halophilic bacterium, Halomonas marina HMA 103 (MTCC 8968) accumulating intracellular polyesters also produced significant amount of exopolysaccharides (EPS) under batch-culture. Production of EPS by the bacterium was more or less parallel with the growth in modified basal synthetic medium. During growth, it produced 0.46 g/L of EPS after 50 h of incubation and was accompanied by the complete … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 27 Jul 2015 · 7,932 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibacterial Activity of Skin Secretion of Bleeding Toad Leptophryne cruentata and Javan Tree Frog Rhacophorus margaritiferI Made Artika, Sabrina Pinontoan, Mirza Dikari KusriniBacterial resistance towards antibiotics has increased morbidity, mortality and health-care costs. Therefore, it is important to search for new types of antibacterial agents. This study was aimed to test antibacterial activity of epinephrine-stimulated skin secretions derived from two species of Anura endemic in Indonesia, the bleeding toad Leptophryne cruentata and the javan tree frog Rhacophorus margaritifer. The filter-sterilized skin secretions … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 7 Jul 2015 · 7,626 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA SHORT INTERFERING RNA MOLECULAR BEACON FOR THE ATTENUATION OF MYCOBACTERIAL INFECTIONRemo George, Kathy Nugent, Norman Bolus et al.The ability of the pathogen Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (MTB) to invade and survive within macrophages of granulomas is attributed to the product of the Mammalian Cell Entry (MCE) operon whose gene, mce4A, encodes a cholesterol transporter that transports host lipids into the bacterium that allows the bacterium to survive during chronic infection. Here, we proposed and tested the hypothesis that a … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 4 Mar 2014 · 7,774 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHydrocarbon Biodegrading Potentials of a Proteus vulgaris Strain Isolated from Fish SamplesPatience O. Olajide, L. B. OgbeifunA Proteus vulgaris bacterium SR-1 was isolated from a freshly killed fish sample collected close to the point of crude oil spill in the Niger Delta region, Nigeria. Problem statement: The application of native bacterial species in bioremediation processes has long been desired, because they would be cost effective and efficient in terms of acclimation time. The ability to isolate … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 8,277 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHelicobacter pylori Colonization in Biopsies of the Adenotonsillectomy SpecimensM. J. Zahedi, S. Darvish Moghadam, M. Ahmadi Mosavi et al.Problem statement: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a microaerophilic, gram negative bacillus, which can cause peptic ulcer and gastric cancer. Recurrent infection with this agent is considered as one of the reasons for failure of peptic ulcer treatment. Some studies have reported colonization of H. pylori in dental plaques, tonsils and adenoid tissues. Therefore oral cavity could be the source … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,929 accessesView PDFCite
