The increased rate of resistance among two highly concerned pathogens i.e. methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) necessitates the discovery novel anti-MRSA anti-VRE compounds. In microbial drug discovery, Streptomyces are well known source two-thirds natural antibiotics used clinically. Hence, screening new strains streptomycetes is key step to get bioactive compounds with antimicrobial activity against resistant bacteria.

Abstract Background Early blight (EB), caused by Alternaria solani , is one of the alarming diseases that restrict tomato production globally. Existing cultural practices and fungicide applications are not enough to control early diseases. Therefore, study aimed isolate, identify, characterize an endophytic Streptomyces exhibiting potential in also promote plant growth. Results From a Citrus jambhiri leaf, sp. with antagonistic activity against solani, Colletotrichum acutatum Cladosporium...

Abstract Meloidogyne spp. are microscopic, obligatory endoparasites with worldwide distribution which cause severe damage to agricultural crops. The present study revealed the nematicidal activity of Streptomyces antibioticus strain M7 against incognita . culture supernatant isolate caused 100% J2 mortality after 24 h and inhibited egg hatching (only 3%). In addition, actinomycins V, X 2 D purified from was also checked. vitro studies displayed 97.0–99.0% juvenile 28.0–44.0% 168 at 240 µg/ml...

Abstract Phosphorus (P) recycling from wastewater can reduce the reliance on primary source for P fertilisers―rock phosphate reserves. In light of this, we compared effects struvite (ST), a sparingly soluble product derived wastewater, and readily KH 2 PO 4 (KP) chickpea ( Cicer arietinum L.) wheat Triticum aestivum growth acquisition. Plants were grown in temperature-controlled glasshouse plastic pots containing soil mixture with low availability, ST or KP applied at five rates (7, 14, 28,...

Fungal phytopathogens and drug-resistant bacteria are two significant challenges in agriculture public health, respectively. As a result, new sources of antimicrobial compounds urgently needed. Taking into consideration these aspects, the present study was carried out to explore activity Streptomyces sp. SP5 against bacteria, especially methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin Enterococcus fungal phytopathogens. MRSA VRE both types antibiotic-resistant that pose health....

Abstract Background and aims This study investigated whether root traits at the seedling stage are maintained flowering in two chickpea ( Cicer arietinum ) genotypes with contrasting morphology physiology; genotype greater rhizosheath carboxylates mobilises more poorly-available phosphorus (P) pools to increase shoot P flowering/podding seed yield maturity. Methods Two were grown a low soil or without addition (0 40 µg g −1 as KH 2 PO 4 under controlled glasshouse conditions harvested...

This investigation was aimed to analyse the existence of an association between rheumatoid arthritis and periodontitis among Indian subjects.This observational study included a total 110 individuals 18-78 years age, which were divided equally into RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis) NRA (Non-Rheumatoid groups. General, Oral complete Periodontal examination recording Gingival Index (GI), Plaque index (PI), Pocket Probing Depth (PPD), Clinical attachment level (CAL) in questionnaire form. Laboratory...

The evolution of street lighting infrastructure toward smarter, more integrated systems is increasingly driven by the development Internet Things (IoT) technologies. transition to next-generation in smart cities encompasses not only deployment energy-efficient LEDs but also integration IoT for optimized control and functionality. This research paper delves into innovative framework IoT-powered city lighting, examining how enhances become adaptive, energy-efficient, responsive environmental...

Calcified chronic subdural hematoma is a rare but known entity, estimated to represent 0.3-2.7% of hematomas. Although surgical treatment unanimous for hematomas, therein lies some debate on evacuation calcified We report case an 18-year-old male presenting after 17 years VP shunt with SDH. He presented only mental retardation and no other neurological deficit as such he was managed conservatively discharged close follow-up. believe that should be used in circumstances when it symptomatic,...

The utility of cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene has been tested for the identification three species forensically important flesh flies genus Parasarcophaga (Dipera: Sarcophagidae). A 450 bp fragment COI sequenced 12 specimens, representing Genus Parasarcophaga. Nucleotide divergences were calculated using Tamura 3 Parameter distance model. For graphical display patterns divergence among Neighbor-joining and Parsimonious trees also made this software. Musca autumnalis was taken as outgroup in...

Abstract Background: Early blight (EB), caused by Alternaria solani , is one of the alarming diseases that restrict tomato production globally. Existing cultural practices and fungicide applications are not enough to control early diseases. Therefore, study aimed isolate, identify, characterize an endophytic Streptomyces strain exhibiting potential in also promote plant growth. Results: From a Citrus jambhiri leaf, sp . SP5 isolated with antagonistic activity against solani, Colletotrichum...

Background Peptic ulcer disease has protean manifestations in various age groups Aim To compare the clinical presentation and outcome of peptic elderly ( >60 year) with group less than 60 years. Methods This was a single center prospective study. The study subjects comprised patients divided into 2 groups: ,<60 year > year. A total 40 patient endoscopically proven were included 20 each group. Detection Helicobacter pylori done by C14 urea breath test (UBT) rapid urease (RUT)....

Biology of polyphagous insect pest Holotrichia nagpurensis was studies in laboratory during 2019-2020. H. beetles (all types mated, unmated, male and female) were collected by using Light traps (fitted with 6-8 watts mercury tube Light; ACTINIC BL, PHILIPS) placed nearby host Neem trees, Azadirachta indica, Guava, Psidium guajava, Bakayan, Melia azedarach, evening time from 7:45 to 9: 45 pm the moths June-July Noorpur village Ghaziabad district Uttar Pradesh, India (28.7444° N, 77.5526° E)...

Insects are the dominant group of animals on earth today. They occur practically everywhere and far outnumber all other terrestrial taken together. Several hundred thousand different kinds insects have been described, three times as many there in rest animal kingdom some authorities believe that total number species may approach 30 million. Forensic entomology is study fauna found around carcasses, their use estimation post mortem interval (PMI). The aim present review to show current status...
