Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDifferential Banding Pattern Based Identification of Urinary Tract Infection Causing BacteriaPoulomi Nandy, Md Aftabuddin, Ashoke Ranjan Thakur, Shaon RayChaudhuriUrinary Tract Infection (UTI) affects all age groups, but women are more susceptible than men. These infections are typically caused by E coli, Proteus mirabilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus fecalis and so on. Since uncultivable microbes are numerically abundant in urine samples, culture independent detection seems to be the method of choice for diagnosing UTI. This study … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 20 Jun 2013 · 8,098 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIsolation of Nitrate and Phosphate Removing Bacteria from Various Environmental SitesS. DebRoy, S. Das, S. Ghosh et al.Problem statement: Nitrate and phosphate are two major pollutants due to anthropogenic activity like excessive use of fertilizers in agriculture. Their contamination has emerged as a global problem and its potential threat is marked on the environmental sustainance as well as on the public health. Approach: The objective of the current study is to isolate efficient nitrate and phosphate removing … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 29 Jun 2012 · 9,348 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLeaf Surface Bacterial Colonization in Response to Brevicoryne brassicae (L.) Infestation of Brassica chinensis L.Shaon Raychaudhuri, Inga Mewis, Christian UlrichsProblem statement: Epiphytic population is an intrinsic part of the leaf surface. The effect of stress like insect infestation is not well understood. The aim of the study was to determine possible effects of insect infestation on bacteria community. Approach: The leaf surface microbial profile of Brassica rapa ssp. chinensis (L.) was investigated using a culture-dependent approach under normal and … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 May 2011 · 7,859 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIsolation and Characterization of Thermophilic Cellulase-Producing Bacteria from Empty Fruit Bunches-Palm Oil Mill Effluent CompostAzhari Samsu Baharuddin, Mohamad Nafis Abd Razak, Lim Siong Hock et al.Problems statement: Lack of information on locally isolated cellulase-producing bacterium in thermophilic compost using a mixture of Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) and Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) as composting materials. Approach: The isolation of microbes from compost heap was conducted at day 7 of composting process where the mixture of composting materials consisted of 45.8% cellulose, 17.1% hemicellulose and 28.3% … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 12,155 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRadiation Induced DNA Double Strand Break Studies of a Metal Sensitive Novel Bacterial Isolate from East Calcutta WetlandSanhita Chowdhury, Anindita Chakraborty, Ashoke Ranjan Thakur, Shaon Ray ChaudhuriProblem statement: This study was an attempt to isolate anaerobic microbes with potential for DNA double strand break repair using methanogen specific medium (DSMZ 120) from East Calcutta Wetland in India. It also intended to verify the specificity of the medium for isolation of the desired family of microbe. Approach: Culture based technique was used to obtain the pure isolate … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,123 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIsolation and Characterization of Novel Metal Accumulating Extracellular Protease Secreting Bacteria from Marine Coastal Region of Digha in West Bengal, IndiaSusmita Roy, Kaushal Mishra, Sanhita Chowdhury et al.Problem statement: The objective of the present piece of work was to explore the existing biodiversity of protease secreting microbes in a marine ecosystem, the site selected being the coastal region of West Bengal (Digha), India. Approach: The culture dependent method was used for isolation and characterization of novel microbes from the point of biotechnological application. The isolate obtained was … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,187 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiosynthesis of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles and Assay of Antibacterial ActivityEmad J. Ibrahem, Karkaz M. Thalij, Mahmood K. Saleh, Amin S. BadawyIn this study Out of 280 urinary tract infections samples, 212(75.7%) bacterial isolates were recovered. Based on, morphological, cultural and biochemical testes, further, confirmed the results by VITEK 2 System there were 54 (30.2%) of gram positive whereas the 158 (69.8%) of gram negative. The bacterial isolates were distributed as Escherichia coli followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 3 Apr 2017 · 8,880 accessesView PDFCite
Clinical ProcedureOpen accessIn the abstractThe Ruggiero-Klinghardt (RK) Protocol for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Conditions with Particular Focus on Lyme DiseaseDietrich Klinghardt, Marco RuggieroHere we describe the Ruggiero-Klinghardt (RK) Protocol that is based on integration of Autonomic Response Testing (ART) with diagnostic ultrasonography and on application of therapeutic ultrasounds; the latter are used as a provocation tool and as an instrument to optimize drug uptake and utilization in specific areas of the body. This protocol consists of a precise sequence of diagnostic and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 8 Mar 2017 · 37,244 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDescription of a Novel Probiotic Concept: Implications for the Modulation of the Immune SystemStefania Pacini, Marco RuggieroIt is estimated that the first processed food products consumed by humans pertained to the category of fermented foods and beverages such as beer, wine, sauerkraut, fermented sausage as well as fermented milk derivatives such as yogurt and kefir. Thus, fermented foods are endowed with undisputed healthy properties due to the presence of probiotic microbes that not only help supporting … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 28 Jan 2017 · 9,237 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInhibition of Interleukin-6 Expression by Curcumin in Rat Vascular Smooth Muscle Explants In VitroYanti, Stephanie, Yuliani et al.In atherosclerotic plaques, infectious agents from microbes may release Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and heat shock proteins that can stimulate the production of mediators, i.e., pro-inflammatory cytokines, by vascular endothelial cells and Smooth Muscle Cells (SMCs). The elevated level of Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is strongly associated with the development of atherosclerosis. Here, we investigated whether curcumin isolated from the rhizome of Curcuma longa … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 15 Dec 2014 · 6,774 accessesView PDFCite
