Infectious diseases caused by arboviruses are a public health concern in Pakistan. However, the studies on data prevalence and threats posed limited. This study investigated seroprevalence of healthy population Pakistan, including severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV), Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic (CCHFV), Tamdy (TAMV), Karshi (KSIV) based newly established luciferase immunoprecipitation system (LIPS) assays, Zika (ZIKV) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA)....
Acinetobacter baumannii is a biofilm forming multidrug resistant (MDR) pathogen responsible for respiratory tract infections. In this study, aluminium oxide nanoparticles (Al2O3 NPs) were synthesized and characterized by TEM EDX shown to be spherical shaped with diameter < 10 nm. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) the bactericidal (MBC) Al2O3 NPs ranged between 125 1,000 µg ml−1. Exposure caused cellular membrane disruption, indicated an increase in leakage of contents. Biofilm...
