Antibiotic resistance is a major problem and the greatest challenge to both hospitals in community. Initially, antibiotic-resistant strains were found hospital environment only, but now they can be present everywhere. It was therefore decided conduct short-term study on Andrographis paniculata's ability inhibit growth of some most resistant bacteria Doon Valley. Antimicrobial activity paniculat...

Abstract: 5,5 ′ -Methylenebis(4–phenyl-4H -1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol) (2) was synthesized starting from hydrazinecarbothioamide compound (1). Treatment of compound 2 with ethyl bromoacetate produced diethyl 5,5 ′ -{methylenebis[(4phenyl-4H -1,2,4-triazole-5,3-diyl)thio]}diacetate (3), which was converted to the corresponding diacetohydrazide derivative (4) by treatment with hydrazine hydrate. The ...

gradual decrease of biodiversity related to the rapid industrialization and urbanization is stimulating the fundamental research towards a better understanding of the relationships between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. present study emphasizes the nature and status of floral diversity in the vicinity of integrated industrial estate-pantnagar, uttarakhand, india (iie-pantnagar).three m...

BACKGROUND Echinocandins are recommended for Candia glabrata candidemia. Mutations in the FKS1 and FKS2 genes are associated with echinocandin resistance. Few studies have assessed risk factors for FKS mutant isolates and outcomes in patients receiving micafungin treatment. METHODS Patients with C. glabrata bloodstream infection admitted to a large, tertiary care hospital between 2009 and 201...

I was excited by the results presented in the excellent paper by Sheppard et al. showing a 2.3% increase in lens volume and a decrease of 1.82% in surface during accommodation in human volunteers. I was very gratified that they acknowledged that we had predicted similar changes in human lens volume and surface based on mathematical modeling of human lens dimensions, using the Pappus theorem as ...

BACKGROUND Th17-inducing activity is carried by certain polysaccharides such as beta-glucan derived from Candia albicans. Our previous studies have shown that Th1- and Th2-inducing activities can be qualitatively evaluated by the expression patterns of Notch ligand isoforms, using human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (Mo-DCs) and some leukemic cell lines such as THP-1. The association of Th17...

We have previously characterized Pir32, a Candia albicans cell wall protein that we found to be involved in filamentation, virulence, chitin deposition, and resistance to oxidative stress. Other than defining the cell shape, the cell wall is critical for the interaction with the surrounding environment and the point of contact and interaction with the host surface. In this study, we applied tan...

Mục tiêu: Mô tả sự phân bố loài và mức độ kháng thuốc của các chủng Candia lập tại Bệnh viện nhiệt đới Trung ương (NHTD) từ tháng 1/2017 đến 12/2018. Kết quả cho thấy: trong 811 mẫu bệnh phẩm dương tính với nấm, chúng tôi được 423 thuộc chi Candida đó có 45 ở nhân nhiễm nấm huyết: C. albicans chiếm ưu thế (48,9%, 22/45), tiếp theo parapsiolosis (22,2%, 10/45) tropicalis (11,1%, 5/45); 01 huyết ...
