Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) and Metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs): A Review
Abstract: Gram-negative bacteria produce extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) and metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs), enzymes that play a crucial role in antibiotic resistance. These enzymes enable the bacteria to withstand a wide array of beta-lactam antibiotics, including penicillins, cephalosporins, and carbapenems. The production of these enzymes, particularly by organisms, such as Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, complicates treatment options for severe infections, leading to increased morbidity and mortality in clinical settings. ESBLs are primarily responsible …

Hearing, Speech, and Language Characteristics in a Case with Hemoglobinopathy Secondary to Beta Thalassemia Intermedia
Abstract: Background: Thalassemia is an inherited disorder characterized by a reduced amount or absence of hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein inside the red blood cell. Thalassemia has its types called alpha and beta-thalassemia. Beta thalassemia is a condition in which there is a reduction or deficit in the synthesis of the beta-globin chain of hemoglobin molecules caused by a mutation in chromosome eleven. Beta thalassemia can be broadly categorized into three main …

Preliminary In Silico Analysis of Choline Monooxygenase and Betaine Aldehyde Dehydrogenase from Suaeda monoica Forssk. and its Expression in E. coli.
Abstract: AbstractIn a tropical country like India, the yield of crop plants is majorly affected by soil salinity and drought. One of the strategies to address this problem is by introducing genes responsible for salinity/drought tolerance in crop plants. Such genes could be identified and isolated from mangrove plants, as they are known to have evolved certain physiological mechanisms to augment saline environments. One such mechanism is the accumulation of Glycine …
