Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSusceptibility and Detection of Extended Spectrum β-Lactamase Enzymes from Otitis Media PathogensEjikeugwu Chika, Iroha Ifeanyichukwu, Adikwu Michael, Esimone CharlesOtitis media is the bacterial infection of the middle ear usually accompanied with inflammation, effusions and pain. It can present clinically in two major forms: Acute Otitis Media (AOM) and Otitis Media with Effusion (OME) and it is one of the leading cause of hospital visits and antibiotic prescriptions amongst children and even adults. Antibiotic resistance is a global public … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 21 Mar 2013 · 7,970 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Study of In Vitro Antibacterial Activity of Miswak Extracts and Different ToothpastesSarmad Ghazi MohammedThis study determines the antimicrobial efficacy of miswak (aqueous and alcoholic) extracts comparing with five different toothpastes, which are available in Iraqi market, against different kinds of bacteria. The antibacterial efficacy of aqueous and alcoholic extracts of Salvadora persica and different kinds of toothpastes was studied against different cariogenic and pathogenic bacteria including Streptococcus mutans, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 19 Mar 2013 · 8,890 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 · 13,509 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExamination of Chitinolytic Bacteria in Alginate-Chitosan Encapsulation on Chili Seed Against Damping off Caused by Fusarium oxysporumDwi Suryanto, Affan Indarwan, Erman MunirOne alternative in biological control of plant pathogenic fungi is to provide biological agent inoculant in coated seed. This study was to evaluate potential control and viability of two chitinolytic bacteria, Enterobacter sp. BK15 and Bacillus sp. BK17 of alginate-chitosan encapsulation coated on chili seed against damping off caused by Fusarium oxysporum. Chili seed beads were stored at refrigerator and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 5 Dec 2012 · 7,913 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 · 7,274 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation on Antibacterial Activity of Lactobacillus acidophilus Strains Isolated from HoneyMohamed Mustafa Aween, Zaiton Hassan, Belal J. Muhialdin et al.Problem statement: This study reports the isolation of lactic acid bacteria from 13 honey samples produced in Malaysia, Libya and Saudi Arabia and their antibacterial activity against three Gram negative pathogenic bacteria. Approach: A modified MRS agar with 0.8% CaCO3 and MRS with 1% glucose was found to facilitate isolation of LAB compared to MRS, tomato juice agar and modified … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 14 Mar 2012 · 11,372 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMonoclonal Antibody-Based Therapeutics for Melioidosis and GlandersHyung-Yong Kim, Alexander Stojadinovic, Peter J. Weina et al.Problem statement: Burkholderia Pseudomallei (BP) and B. Mallei (BM) were two closely related pathogenic gram-negative bacteria. They were the causative agents of melioidosis and glanders, respectively and are recognized by CDC as category B select agents. Significant efforts had been devoted to developing the diagnostic and therapeutic measures against these two pathogens. Monoclonal antibody-based therapeutic was a promising targeted therapy … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 23 Dec 2011 · 8,975 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGrowth Enhancement and Disease Reduction of Soybean by 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-Carboxylate Deaminase-Producing PseudomonasEdi Husen, Aris Tri Wahyudi, Antonius Suwanto, GiyantoProblem statement: 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-Carboxylate (ACC) deaminase-producing bacteria have been known to ameliorate the inhibition-effect of increase concentration of ethylene in higher plants, which can be triggered by high concentration of indole-3-Acetic Acid (IAA) and/or by the presence of plant pathogens. This study examined the potential use of Pseudomonas isolates producing ACC deaminase as well as IAA to enhance soybean growth and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 23 Sep 2011 · 7,911 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiocontrol of Soil Fungi in Tomato with Microencapsulates Containing Bacillus subtilisMarcela Hernàndez-Suàrez, Francisco Daniel Hernàndez-Castillo, Gabriel Gallegos-Morales et al.Problem Statement: An option to reduce pollution by synthetic agro-chemical in root plant disease management is the use of antagonist rhizobacteria belonging to Bacillus genus, because their inhibitory properties, stimulation of plant growth and crop yield increase. Approach: This study was carried out in order to evaluate if Bacillus subtilis strains could play an antagonists role of plant pathogens and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2011 · 8,925 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPopulation of Vibrio Parahaemolyticus (Pathogen) and Bacillus (Beneficial Bacteria) in Penaeus Monodon (Fabricus, 1798) CultureV. Pattukumar, Maloy Kumar Sahu, M. Murugan et al.Problem statement: The present work was attempted to evaluate the probiotic activity of Bacillus spp. in shrimp health management. Approach: Penaeid culture ecosystem as a confined environment with huge inputs always encourages the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria like Vibrios. Results: From the present study and earlier reports it is understood that these pathogens alone or combine with virus especially White … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,486 accessesView PDFCite
