### Summary box Bangladesh, a country of 166 million people, continues to be severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The first three cases in Bangladesh were detected on 8 March 2020 among group travellers. Since then, has experienced two waves—in June and April 2021. In July 2021, less than 3 months after second wave, is currently fighting its third far deadliest wave. Like most other countries South Asia, experience waves infections caused different variants concern, precipitated...
Considering the ecological diversity of E. coli, main aim this study was to determine prevalence, phylogroup diversity, and antimicrobial susceptibility coli isolated from 383 different clinical environmental sources. In total, varied prevalence observed 197 confirmed that were (human–100%, animal–67.5%, prawn–49.23%, soil–30.58%, water–27.88%). Of these isolates, 70 (36%) multidrug-resistant (MDR). MDR significantly associated with their sources (χ2 = 29.853, p 0.001). Humans (51.67%)...
Abstract A dramatic resurgence of COVID-19 cases and deaths in Bangladesh March 2021 coincided with the SARS-CoV-2 B.1.351 (501Y.V2) variant concern rapidly becoming dominant circulating variant. Concurrently, increasing numbers reinfections have been detected effective Reproductive number, R t , has doubled, despite high levels prior infection Dhaka city. These data support prediction that acquired immunity from past provides reduced protection against B.1.351, highlights major public...
Abstract The burden of street food contamination remains significantly higher among developing countries, making its consumers’ health compromised. This study aimed at identifying Escherichia coli in local foods, track their sources and characterize virulence properties, antimicrobial susceptibility patterns, incidence recent fecal contamination. Twelve E. isolates isolated from 28 types foods sold different locations Dhaka metropolitan city were confirmed by both culture-based molecular...
In Bangladesh, food sold at local markets are usually not kept under hygienic conditions leading to contamination with different microorganisms and deterioration of quality. This study was carried out examine the microbial quality prawns markets. Prawn samples collected from were assessed for their bacteriological using multiple tube fermentation technique determine coliform count most probable number method in Brilliant Green Lactose Broth (BGLB) media. Positive tubes presumptive test...
The rapid dissemination of antibiotic resistant E. coli is now a worldwide problem. In this study, total twenty obtained from stool were selected to determine resistance beta lactam antibiotics. Beta–Lactamase are enzymes produced by bacteria that provide multi antibiotics such as penicillin, cephalosporin, cephamycin and carbapenems. Of these isolates (n = 20), 35% found Amoxicillin Clavulanate, 5% Imipenem, 50% Ceftriaxone 75% Ampicillin. PCR amplification confirmed the presence New Delhi...
