Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractINHIBITORY ACTIVITY OF POTENTOX AGAINST DNA GYRASE OF ENTEROBACTERIACEAEManu Chaudhary, Anurag PayasiDNA gyrase, a type II topoisomerase catalyzes the supercoiling of relaxed closed circular DNA. In this report we evaluated the in vitro inhibitory effect of non antibiotic adjuvant compounds disodium edetate and sodium citrate against supercoiling activity of bacterial DNA gyrase. Further, we assessed the effect of different drugs alone and in combination with one or more adjuvants in overcoming … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 8 Feb 2014 · 7,291 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrevalence of Heterogeneous Glycopeptide Intermediate Resistance in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureusManu Chaudhary, Anurag PayasiMultidrug resistant Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) is a major cause of nosocomial and community acquired infections and is on the rise. The aim of this investigation was to explore the prevalence of MRSA and heterogeneous Glycopeptide Intermediate Staphylococcus Aureus (hGISA) in various clinical samples, to investigate the various antibiotic resistant determinant genes among these strains collected from north and west … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 4 Sep 2013 · 7,203 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibiotic Sensitivity Pattern of Blood Isolates of Acinetobacter Species in a Tertiary Care Hospital: A Retrospective AnalysisP. S. Shareek, D. Sureshkumar, Ramgopalakrishnan et al.Problem statement: Multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter bacterium is one of the major causes of sepsis in ICUs in tertiary care hospitals in India. In this report we describe the antibiotic sensitivity patterns of Acinetobacter species isolated from blood over a one year period at a tertiary care hospital. Approach: We retrospectively analyzed the sensitivity pattern of Acinetobacter species isolated from blood … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 24 Mar 2012 · 8,570 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic Consensus PCR in Detecting Target(s) of Hapalindole-T, From a Cyanobacterium, in Escherichia Coli: In Silico ValidationManoj K. Tripathi, Maheep Kumar, Vinay K. Singh et al.Problem statement: Identification of newer biomolecule as well as targets are a rising concern because of increasing drug resistance in bacteria. We have isolated a broad spectrum antibiotic biomolecule Hapalindole-T from a cyanobacterium, Fisherella sp. growing on local Azadirachta indica tree bark. A model bacterium E. coli was screened spontaneously for Hap-T resistance. These resistant strains of E. coli were … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 3 Mar 2012 · 13,780 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDrug Susceptibility Pattern of M.Tuberculosis Isolated from Patients Attending a Private HospitalD. Sureshkumar, Ram GopalakrishnanProblem statement: Drug resistance in Tuberculosis (TB) is an emerging problem that adversely affects patient outcome and public health in the developing world. Although much of tuberculosis care is provided by the private sector in India, the magnitude of drug resistance in TB in the private sector is not well described. The present study was carried out to determine the … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 22 Dec 2011 · 7,287 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibacterial Activity of β-Cyclodextrin and 2-Hydroxypropyl-β-Cyclodextrin Trimethoprim ComplexesHsien-Kuo Sun, Madhumathi Seshadri, Scott Lingard et al.Problem statement: Cyclodextrin complexation has previously been shown to improve the solubility and dissolution properties of trimethoprim; however, no report provides an account of the effect cyclodextrin complexation has on the antibacterial activity of this agent. Approach: β-cyclodextrin and 2-hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin inclusion complexes of trimethoprim were prepared and confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry and proton nuclear magnetic resonance. The in-vitro … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 26 Oct 2011 · 14,806 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficacy of Closantel 5% against Cattle Gastrointestinal ParasitesY. Garedaghi, A.P. Rezaii Saber, R. AttaremadrakiProblem statement: There are several anthelmintic classes based on chemical structure that are in use, but, during the last 20 years, it has been increasingly noted that the target parasites have become resistant, the incidence varying with geographical location and mode of use. Approach: In this study, 60 apparently healthy cows under the same management conditions of the experiment, feces … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 6 Oct 2011 · 8,205 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Novel Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 Integrase Inhibitors by Shape-Based Virtual ScreeningT.K. Omprakash, A. Thamarai Selvan, A. Shahul Hameed, S.P. GeethaProblem statement: Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV-1) is causative agent of the immune system disease, Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Majority of anti-HIV drugs target reverse transcriptase and protease enzymes. Toxicity and development of multidrug resistant HIV-1 virus strains are the reasons for studying new targets in HIV-1 replication process for identifying novel inhibitor with low toxicity and high activity. Approach: … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,193 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Resistance to Human Immunodeficiency Virus Protease Inhibitors Using Molecular Mechanics and Machine Learning StrategiesA. Harishchander, D. Alex Anand, Sanjib SenapatiProblem statement: Drug resistance is the most important factor, which influences the failure of current HIV therapies. So, the ability to predict the drug resistance of HIV-1 protease mutants will be useful in developing more effective and longer lasting treatment regimens. Approach: Drug resistance of HIV-1 protease is predicted with two current protease inhibitors (Indinavir and Saquinavir). The problem was … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,206 accessesView PDFCite
