Comparative Growth and Condition of Liza grandisquamis from Elechi and Amadi-Ama Creeks, Port Harcourt, Nigeria
Abstract: Growth and condition of Liza grandisquamis was assessed in two natural environments to create baseline information for accessing the fish stock. Regression analysis using the power curve W=aLb indicated a negative allometric growth in both water bodies. The difference in coefficient of growth for the two water bodies was not significant. Linear relationship between the length and weight variables was similar. Condition factors for the water bodies were significantly different …

Study of the Antimicrobial Potential of Consortiums of Hot Alcoholic Extract of Plants against Multidrug Resistant Bacteria Including One Vancomycin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA)
Abstract: Increasing antibiotic resistance exerts threatening implications in human health care. It subsequently increases the need to develop an alternative strategy to counter the growing concern against the superbug infection in open wounds. In the present study, two combinations of herbal alcoholic extracts have been assessed for antimicrobial activity against the isolates collected from human burn wound sample and biopsies. Total of 42 strains have been isolated and screened for its …

ISSR Marker Analysis of Cypriniform Fishes in Southern Western Ghats
Abstract: The conservation biology and knowledge of the relatedness between populations is particularly important in absorbed breeding programs that attempt to reduce incestuous mating in order to minimize inbreeding. A decline in genetic variation reduces the ability of a population to adapt to environmental changes and decreases its long term survival. The molecular genetic variability among three cyprinids fish species (D. aequippinatus, G. mullya and D. filamentosa) using ISSR markers was …

Case Report of Urinary Tract Infection Caused by Raoultella ornithinolytica from India
Abstract: Raoultella ornithinolytica is a rare gram negative bacteria which has been rarely known to be associated with the human infections. We report the isolation of multi drug resistant Raoultella ornithinolytica from urinary tract infection. It might pose a potential challenge in treatment.Keywords: Raoultella ornithinolytica, urinary tract infection, multi drug resistance

Cinnamon Extract and Cinnamaldehyde Inhibit the Replication of T2 Bacteriophage in E. coli: Potential for Use in Antiviral and Anticancer Therapy
Abstract: An extract of cinnamon inhibits the growth of bacteria, viruses and cancer cells. At concentrations of 1, 2, 4, and 8 ml per 100 ml of Luria-Bertani broth, cinnamon extract had virtually no effect on the growth of E. coli. At the same concentrations, however, the yield of T2 bacteriophage was 98, 76, 64.5, and 61.8% of the control. Addition of cinnamon extract 37 min before infection produced a yield …
