Abstract Background Candida is the leading cause of vaginitis, and 75% women have at least one episode infection in their lives, with pregnancy being a predisposing factor. If left untreated, vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) can lead to chorioamnionitis subsequent abortion, prematurity congenital neonate. We aimed determine prevalence VVC, identify recent most frequently occurring species pregnant women, effective antifungal drug choice for treatment. Method A prospective cross-sectional study...
Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is the second most common vaginal infection that affects women of reproductive age. Its increased occurrence and associated treatment cost coupled to rise in resistance causative pathogen current antifungal therapies has necessitated need for discovery development novel effective agents disease. We report this study anti-Candida albicans activity Solanum torvum 70% ethanol fruit extract (STF), fractions some isolated compounds against four (4)...
Aspergillus terreus is one of the most harmful filamentous fungal pathogen humans, animals and plants. Recently, researchers have discovered that A. can cause foliar blight disease in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). We used light scanning electron microscopy, performed proteomics analysis an attempt to dissect invasion process this important crop. Microscopic study revealed leaf tissue marked by rapid germination phialidic conidia (PC) 4 h after inoculation. By 8 inoculation, primary germ...
High demand for edible bamboo shoots of Bambusa tulda and Melocanna baccifera in many Asian ethnic groups has led to the need developing intensive farming. To achieve this, vitro regeneration plantlets is needed due long irregular flowering cycle scarcity seeds. An effective protocol B. M. from nodal explants following validation species using sequence trnL-F intergenic spacer region described. Effective axillary bud breaking was achieved at 3 mg/L 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) MS medium....
The rapid emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance has become a global public health concern that threatens the effective treatment infectious diseases. One major approach adopted to overcome is use plant extracts individually and/or with combination antibiotics extracts, which may lead new ways treating diseases essentially representing potential area for further future investigations. In this study, antifungal activities Azadirachta indica leaf Catharanthus roseus flower against...
Consumption of bamboo species with high level total cyanogenic content (TCC) in Asia by many ethnic groups is significantly associated food poisoning and occasionally Konzo (a neurological disorder). Adequate characterization edible low TCC nutritious attributes required for consumer’s safety as well the conservation gene pool. Here, we employed morphological descriptors, atomic absorption spectrophotometer, RAPD, trnL-F intergenic spacer to characterize 15 indigenous north-east India. The...
Background and Objective: Curvularia species not only cause disease in plants but have emerged the last decade as a human pathogen causing mild, febrile, to life-threatening illness if well-treated.Because of Curvulariaʼs interlocking lifestyle on plants, animals increased use azole fungicides, there is emerging evidence upsurge resistance antifungal drugs, major public health burden.The objective this study was evaluate genetic diversity C. lunata from plant origin relative clinical strains...
Plant and animal pathogenic fungus Cochliobolus lunatus cause great economic damages worldwide every year. C. displays an increased temperature dependent-virulence to a wide range of hosts. Nonetheless, this phenomenon is poorly understood due lack insights on the coordinated secretome weaponries produced by under heat-stress conditions putative To understand mechanism better, we dissected interacting with potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) leaf at different regimes.C. melanized colonizing hyphae...
Fermented bamboo shoots are popular traditional food items of various ethnic groups the northeastern India, especially in Manipur State.Dendrocalamus hamiltonii is an economically important species used to produce fermented shoots.We studied genetic variability this Chandel and Imphal-East (commercial production districts), using AFLP molecular markers.Each selected primers detected polymorphisms 1614 (95.8%) were found be polymorphic.Cluster analysis based on Dice similarity coefficients...
We undertook an investigation to advance understanding of the host-range dynamics and biocontrol implications Cochliobolus lunatus in past decade. Potato ( Solanum tuberosum L) farms were routinely surveyed for brown-to-black leaf spot disease caused by C. . A biphasic gene data set was assembled databases mined reported hosts last The placement five virulent strains causing foliar necrosis potato studied with microscopic phylogenetic tools. Analysis morphology showed intraspecific...
Aspergillus terreus Thom is a pathogen of public health and agricultural importance for its seamless abilities to expand ecological niche. The aim this study was holistically investigate A. morphological immunoadaptations their implication in antifungal resistance proliferation during infection.In-depth unstructured mining relevant peer-reviewed literature performed morphological, immune, resistance, genetic diversity based on the sequenced calmodulin-like gene.Accessory conidia phialidic...
During the winter season of 2011, Cochliobolus lunatus was isolated from necrotized leaves potato in plantations Burdwan District, West Bengal State, India. The isolate identified using standard monographs and taxonomic keys confirmed molecularly Ribosomal Deoxyribonucleic acid (rDNA) sequence data. Koch’s postulate through pathogenicity test on cultivar ‘Kufri Jyoti’. This is first report C. causing brown-toblack spots disease
