Application Of Silver Nanoparticles On Experimental Wound Infection Of Pseudomonas aeruginosa In Rats
Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate the application of silver nanoparticles on experimental wound infection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in rats. Infected patients at a private hospital in Baghdad had fifty swab samples taken from their wounds and burns (25 samples in total). These swabs were cultured on primary medium and then routine bacteriological tests were done for identification. Molecular confirmation of bacteria was done by using 16S rRNA gene. The research …

Isolation, Purification, and Identification of Antibiotic-Resistant Bacterial Strain from Food Stuffs
Abstract: The widespread presence of bacteria in foodstuffs poses significant trouble to health and food safety. Pathogens in consumable products increases the transmission of resistance genes to human, potentially compromising the efficacy of conventional antibiotics. This study aims to isolate, purify, and identify antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains from food items, meals, and vegetables. The investigation employed selective culture techniques, antibiotic susceptibility assays, and molecular identification methods to detect and characterize resistant strains. …

Investigations Into the Potential for Anthracene Decomposition of Novel Soil Bacterium, Pseudomonas putida P7
Abstract: Bioremediation of hazardous contaminants holds immense importance for the preservation of a clean and healthy environment. Conversely, the accumulation of toxicants can be mitigated with the assistance of microorganisms capable of breaking down these harmful substances into benign molecules. Anthracene is frequently used as a model molecule for studies on PAH pollution because it is found in many carcinogenic PAHs. Therefore, the hunt for new microorganisms with the ability to …

Characterization of Cellulose Producing Bacterial Isolates from Rotten Fruits
Abstract: Cellulose, the most abundant natural polymer, is predominantly sourced from plant wood but can also be synthesized by certain bacteria in the form of bio-cellulose. The potential applications of bio-cellulose are extensive, particularly in the biomedical field for tissue engineering, drug delivery, and more. The distinct properties and purity of bacterial cellulose, in contrast to plant-derived cellulose, underscore its importance and drive further research in the area. This study focuses …
