Staphylococcus aureus is a causative agent of diseases ranging from skin and soft tissue infections to several other invasive such as bacteraemia, osteomyelitis, pneumonia, well various non-invasive due secretion diverse array virulence factors. The aim this study was establish correlation between antibiotic resistance, traits, genotypes caused by MRSA in local hospital Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. For study, 118 S. isolates were obtained the Microbiology Department Sheth L.G General Hospital,...
Plasma-mediated bacterial inactivation holds great promise but presents several challenges. This study investigates the antibacterial effect of 2.45 GHz non-thermal microwave (MW) plasma on Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Salmonella abony abony) suspended in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). A 6-log reduction both strains was achieved within 300 s exposure. The enhanced is attributed to elevated levels reactive oxygen species (ROS), particularly ·OH (30.30% S. aureus, 40.13% H2O2...
A Burkholderia cepacia (bacteria) strain, A.T.C.C. 25609, which had been isolated from the bronchial washings of a cystic fibrosis patient, was used to produce lipase. The presence sodium alginate at an optimal concentration 8 mg.ml(-1) in growth medium nearly doubled production extracellular lipase activity. enzyme could be purified with 38-fold purification and 96% activity recovery using two-step protocol. molecular mass determined by SDS/PAGE shown 28 kDa. pH optimum 9 it stable up 12 h...
Abstract In this research article, we have fabricated the zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) with help of aqueous extract leaf Origanum majorana and studied their antimicrobial activity. is one medicinally important plant Lamiaceae/Labiatae family. Green-approach NPs has been favoured over traditional synthesis methods, as plant-based extracts phytochemicals, which are non-toxic biologically safe. The phytochemicals such flavonoids, derivatives phenol polyphenolic biomolecules found to be...
