Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Seroprevalence among Blood Donors in Ranchi,India
Abstract: Injection drug use is generally considered to be predominant source of new HCV infection in developed countries, while unsafe therapeutic injection and transfusion are likely to be major modes of transmission in the developing world. The present study was conducted with the objective to detect the seroprevalence of HCV among blood donors at RIMS, Ranchi, and different blood banks in Ranchi, India. Convenience sample of 1834 blood donors participated in …

Inhibition of Replication of T2 Bacteriophage in Escherichia coli by 6-diazo-5-oxo-L-norleucine (DON)
Abstract: 800x600 Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 The antibiotic known as 6-diazo-5-oxo-L-norleucine, DON, inhibits the growth of several types of Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. It has also been demonstrated that DON inhibits the replication of poliovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, mumps and herpes simplex virus in cultured eukaryotic cells. At a concentration of 0.03 mM DON, the replication of Escherichia coli cells was inhibited by 11.0% …

Subcutaneous Infection Caused by Paecilomyces variotii in an Immunocompromised Patient with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia – A Case Study
Abstract: Paecilomyces can cause hyalohyphomycosis, a type of fungal infection in which the basic tissue form of fungus is hyaline and any pigment in the cell wall is not present. Generally Paecilomyces infects immunocompromised patients, though it infects immunocompetent host also, commonly with eye implants and surgery. There are two important species of Paecilomyces, Paecilomyces lilacinus and Paecilomyces variotii, which are reported to cause human infection. Here we are reporting a …

The Mechanism of Regulation of Chemolithotrophic Sulfur Oxidation in Pseudaminobacter salicylatoxidans KCT001
Abstract: Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Although the mode of repression of the sulfur oxidation (sox) operon has been elucidated in recent times the mechanism of its derepression is not yet known. Here we propose a comprehensive mechanism of sox gene expression by envisaging redox modulation of soxR as the key to the repression as well as derepression of sox-mediated thiosulfate oxidation Pseudaminobacter salicylatoxidans KCT001. While soxR, rendered to its …
