Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntimicrobial Dressing for Diabetic Foot Ulcer Colonized with MRSAParthasarathy Ravichandran, Sai Prasad ChittiWound healing in patients with diabetic foot ulcer differs among people. The wound healing process was influenced by factors like nature of the wound, tissue and an immunity of a person. Any measure taken to control bacterial colonies in wound plays a significant role in wound healing. However, recent emergence of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) associated with chronic wounds created … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 17 Nov 2015 · 7,560 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGreen Synthesized Silver Nanoparticles Prepared from the Antimicrobial Crude Extracts of two Brown Seaweeds Against Plant PathogensAnnakodi Jothirethinam, Sivanantham Prathiba, Nagarajan Shanthi, Kulanthaiyesu ArunkumarThis study aimed for green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) from the antimicrobial crude extracted in chloroform: methanol(1:1 v/v) from the two brown seaweeds Spatoglossum asperum and Hedophyllum sessile active against two pathogenic bacteria (Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri and X. oryzae pv. oryzae) and a fungus Ustilaginoidea virens cause diseases in plants under in vitro assay. Crude extracts exhibit high … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 5 Nov 2015 · 15,180 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEtiology of Meningitis from Patients Suspected of Meningitis Attending Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, Kathmandu, NepalPinky Pandey, Bharat Jha, Anima ShresthaMeningitis is an inflammatory infection of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, which occurs either as a primary disease or secondarily to disease in some other parts of the body. Its most frequent causes are Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae. The epidemiological trend of acute meningitis varies with time and geography. Information on the relative frequency … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 14 Jul 2015 · 9,143 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntimicrobial Resistance in Bacterial Pathogens of Canine OtitisRicardo Antonio Pilegi Sfaciotte, Jéssica Taina Bordin, Vanessa Kelly Capoia Vignoto et al.Otitis is one of the most frequent infections in dogs. This is attributed to the misuse of drugs enabling generation of multi-resistant micro-organisms. The emergence of multiresistant bacterial strains in veterinary medicine is a reality that must be studied and evaluated by the professionals. The objective of this study was to isolate and evaluate the antimicrobial susceptibility of bacterial pathogens … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 3 Jul 2015 · 7,408 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Different Drugs in Down-Regulation of Efflux Pump Genes expression in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus StrainsManu Chaudhary, Santosh Kumar Patnaik, Anurag PayasiAntimicrobial resistance caused by efflux systems is not widely studied in Staphylococcus aureus. In the present study, prevalence of NorA and NorB efflux pumps was studied in thirteen Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains using a pair of primers with Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Antibiotic susceptibility study in NorA and NorB efflux positive isolates was carried out according to the Clinical … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 7 Jan 2015 · 7,451 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPOTENCY OF HONEY AS ANTIBACTERIAL AGENT AGAINST MULTIPLE ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANT PATHOGENS EVALUATED BY DIFFERENT METHODSMohamed Mustafa Aween, Zaiton Hassan, Nur Huda-Faujani et al.Honey is rich with complex natural components which could be useful as antibacterial agents or as preservative. Honey contains high concentration of sugars, low amount of water, high osmolality and often dark colour which influence its antibacterial activity. Disc diffusion, well method, micro dilution assay are methods commonly used to determine the antibacterial activity of honey. In this study, microtiter … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 10 · 1 Dec 2014 · 6,564 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGRAPHENE OXIDE AS ANTIMICROBIAL AGAINST TWO GRAM-POSITIVE AND TWO GRAM-NEGATIVE BACTERIA IN ADDITION TO ONE FUNGUSRoda F. Al-Thani, Noorunnisa Khanam Patan, Mariam A. Al-MaadeedGraphene based materials have wide potential applications in biology, biomedical, agriculture environmental and biotechnology. Graphene Oxide (GO) is one of those materials and has a promising substance as antimicrobial agents. GO in this study was prepared by a modified Hummers method and was characterized by different techniques for confirmation of formation of GO. To study the antimicrobial activities of GO, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 3 · 14 Oct 2014 · 9,243 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEMERGING METRONIDAZOLE RESISTANCE IN ANAEROBES AND MAPPING THEIR SUSCEPTIBILITY BEHAVIOURManu Chaudhary, Anurag PayasiIn the present study, anaerobic clinical isolates of Bacteroides fragilis, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Yersinia enterocolitica were obtained from different clinical specimens and were subjected to molecular typing to detect the gene encoding metronidazole resistance in these isolates. Subsequently, antibacterial activity of drugs was tested against the selected clinical isolates. A total of 53 clinical isolates involving 18 obligate … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 12 Apr 2014 · 9,192 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRapid Real Time PCR Based Detection of Cell Count in Case of Urinary Tract InfectionPoulomi Nandy, Ashoke Ranjan Thakur, Shaon Ray ChaudhuriMicrobial identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing methods currently used in clinical microbiology laboratories require at least two to three days because they rely on the growth and isolation of micro-organisms. This long, but necessary, delay has enormous consequences on prophylactic usage of antimicrobial drugs. This study was an attempt to reduce this detection time span.
