Molecular Diagnosis of Rifampicin Antibiotic Resistance in Mycobacterium Avium Subspecies Paratuberculosis Isolated from Sheep Clinical Samples
Abstract: The present study was conducted to identify parts of the rpoB gene in MAP of Indian sheep isolates. The rpoB gene (Beta sub unit of RNA polymerase) is involved in conferring the rifampicin antibiotic resistance in MAP bacteria. The resistance is due to the presence of mutations in the 81 bp variable region of the rpoB gene including C1367T and T1442C mutations identified by several workers. The study was further …

Herbicide Resistance in Relation to Weed Management in Crops and Cropping Systems in Reference to North East: Review
Abstract: AbstractWeeds are one of the greatest limiting factors to efficient crop production. As a consequence of structural and financing problems the cultural condition of the soil deteriorates and weeds proliferate; many species are hard to kill. Therefore, for sustaining food grain production to feed ever-increasing population and ensuring food security, effective weed management is very essential. Despite advances in control technologies, weeds have retained their rank as the most damaging …

Non-Linear Dynamic Analysis of High-Rise Flat Slab Structure with Various Lateral Load Resisting System: Indian Scenario
Abstract: In this technological era, the construction of high-rise flat slab structure is increasing everywhere, due to its major advantages over a conventional beam slab structure. Due to the poor performance of high-rise flat slab structure in higher seismic zones, IS 1893 (Part 1): 2016 discourages the use of flat slab structure in higher seismic zones. The use of high-rise flat slab structure in high seismic region is a risk, because …

Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) and Its Different Testing Methods: A Review
Abstract: Staphylococcus aureus, a gram-positive bacterium is a serious current health care concern. In the mid-1980s, S. aureus strains emerged that were resistant to the beta-lactamase-stable penicillin, these strains were termed methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Methicillin resistance in S. aureus is primarily mediated by the mecA gene, which codes for the modified penicillin-binding protein 2a. MRSA strain has become one of the well-known etiologic agents for a wide variety of …

Bacteriophages- A New Frontier in Medicine
Abstract: Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that specifically target and infect bacteria, offering an innovative alternative to traditional antibiotic treatments, especially in the face of rising antibiotic resistance. The resurgence of phage therapy has been driven by the increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant bacterial strains and the slowdown in the development of new antibiotics. Phages, unlike antibiotics, target specific bacterial strains, reducing the impact on the natural microbiota and potentially offering a …

A Comparative Study of the Structure–Property Relationships in CAD/CAM Milled vs. 3D-Printed High-Performance Polymers: Impact of Molecular Orientation on Abrasive-Wear Resistance
Abstract: Background: The transition from subtractive to additive manufacturing in prosthetic dentistry has introduced significant variations in the macromolecular architecture of high-performance polymers. While CAD/CAM milling utilizes high-density, industrially polymerized blocks, 3D printing (Additive Manufacturing) relies on layer-by-layer deposition, which may induce anisotropic molecular orientation. This retrospective study investigates how these distinct manufacturing “thermal histories” influence the long-term abrasive-wear resistance of PEEK and PEKK restorations. Materials and Methods: Data were retrospectively …
