Isolation of Lactobacillus Acidophilus with A High Acid-Producing Capacity and Its Common Characteristics
Abstract: Some strains of lactobacilli like spore Lactobacillus offer good merits in normalizing intestinal micro biota, resisting selectively to intestinal pathogens, exerting resistance to heat, acid and antibiotics, and are of good storage stability. This research work has been conducted in order to isolate a certain strain of Lactobacillus that offers high resistance to the gastric acid, bile and pathogens, and mutualistic symbiosis with useful intestinal microbes, and identifying its characteristics …

Antibiotic Resistance in the Bacterial Isolates of Bengaluru Lakes
Abstract: Increased urbanization in Bengaluru has resulted in excessive drainage of antibiotic-resistant bacteria into its pristine lakes via sewage and seepage. This pollution of the resistant bacteria is a direct result of the unregulated use and abuse of antibiotics which has only increased over the years and become a global health threat. Regarding this issue, we conducted a study to confirm the presence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in Bengaluru lakes. For this, …

An innovative antibiotic "Abaucin": Instigated by Artificial Intelligence
Abstract: Nosocomial Gram-negative pathogen, Acinetobacter baumannii repeatedly demonstrates multidrug resistance. Discovering novel antibiotics against A. baumannii has proven thought-provoking through conventional screening tactics. Providentially, machine learning approaches allow for the speedy exploration of chemical space, snowballing the probability of determining new antibacterial molecules. In the following research era, a neural network is accomplished with growth reserve dataset and accomplished in silico predictions for structurally unconventional molecules with commotion in divergence to …

Tuberculosis Epidemiology and its Diagnostic Modality
Abstract: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global health emergency, with India being the epicenter, recording 2.23 million cases and approximately 4.53 lakhs deaths in 2021. Despite efforts by the National Tuberculosis Eradication Program (NTEP), the anticipated decrease in the incidence and prevalence of TB has not been actualized. This paper examines the persistently high rates of TB in India, identifying critical risk factors such as male gender, marital status, overcrowding, socioeconomic disadvantages, …
