Mineralization of Phenanthrene by Paenibacillus sp. PRNK-6: Effect of Synthetic Surfactants on its Mineralization
Abstract: Paenibacillus sp. PRNK-6 isolated from a soil contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was able to utilize 69.48% of phenanthrene (320 mg l-1) in 48 h. The effect of three synthetic surfactants namely, the nonionic surfactant Tween-80, the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and the cationic surfactant cetyltrymethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) on the phenanthrene mineralization by Paenibacillus sp. PRNK-6 was studied. Results showed that the effect of each surfactant …

A Study for the Presence of Enterococcal Virulence Factors Gelatinase, Haemolysin among Clinical Isolates in a Tertiary Care Hospital
Abstract: Enterococcus, considered a normal commensal of intestinal tract, is fast emerging pathogen causing serious infection. Despite the increasing importance of Enterococcus as opportunistic pathogens, their virulence factors are still poorly understood. The potential virulence factors of Enterococci include production of enterococcal surface protein (Esp), gelatinase, and haemolysin. Gelatinase- and haemolysin-producing strains of Enterococcus faecalis have been shown to be virulent in animal models of enterococcal infections. This study was undertaken …

A Step towards Malaria Vaccine DBP Engagement with DARC of Erythrocyte
Abstract: Plasmodium vivax is causative agent of malaria. In Plasmodium vivax Duffy binding protein (DBP) is most ligand for merozoite invasion of human erythrocyte surface by DARC. Thus, it is most suitable protein for development of vaccine. Initial infection can stop threw malaria vaccine DBP has great role of a family of related proteins found in different malaria species that are found in host cell invasion. There is only reason of …

A Comparison of Rapid Card Test with Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay for the Detection of Hepatitis B Surface Antigen [HBsAg] in Tertiary Care Hospital
Abstract: Introduction: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. The most important marker for HBV infection is HBsAg. In case of diagnosis of infectious disease, discordant results may have serious consequences among the patients as it causes unnecessary mental stress and tension. For proper diagnosis of infection as well as disease management and prevention, identification of appropriate test kit is necessary. Aims and Objective: …

A Review on Environmental Pollution Mitigation by Fungal Proteases
Abstract: Proteases comprise a vital group of proteolytic enzymes with variety of functions. These enzymes possess the enormous commercial potential and have been used in several industrial processes, including food industry, leather processing, detergent industry and therapeutic applications. As well as they are used as an environmental pollution cleaning agent. Proteases are the replacement of conventional method of silver recovery from the X-ray films. Among the microbial enzymes only proteases constitute …

Identification of ESBL producing Escherichia coli from Urine Samples at Tertiary Care Hospital in Jhalawar
Abstract: Introduction: Antibiotic resistance (ABR) is a serious worldwide threat to public health due to the emergence of multidrug resistant bacteria and is considered as a great problem in the treatment of bacterial infections both in hospital as well as community settings. Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) producing strains have emerged as a significant challenge to counter with present antibiotics. Aims: Our study was aimed to know the prevalence of ESBL producing …

Incidence of Community acquired MRSA in the nasal swabs of general population of Gulbarga region
Abstract: Background: Methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA) has emerged as a major pathogen in both community and hospital settings. Nasal carriage of S. aureus represents a major risk factor for the development of infection with this bacterium. Objective: The aim was to study community acquired MRSA incidence among nasal swabs of general population of Gulbarga. Methods: Nasal swabs from anterior nares were collected for the isolation of S. aureus from 224 …
