behaviors of simultaneous removal of no and so2 using the coculture of anaerobic denitrifying bacteria and sulfate reducing bacteria were investigated in a bench-scale biotrickling-filter. approximate 20 days were required to use the landfill leachate as the microbial seed to develop the biofilm on the surface of packing material. when the combined no/so2 removal biotrickling-filter was operate...

alkaline phosphatase (ortho phosphate, monoester hydrolase phosphoinositide e. c. 3.1.3.1) is a non-specific metalloproteinase enzyme that is located inside periplasmic space of bacteria. this enzyme is used to measure freshwater sediment in genetic engineering for cleaning water. isolation and molecular identification of the bacteria producing alkaline phosphatase and comparison of its product...

BACKGROUND Airborne transmission of pathogenic resistant bacteria is well recognized as an important route for the acquisition of a wide range of nosocomial infections in hospitals. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of airborne vancomycin and gentamicin (VM and GM) resistant bacteria in different wards of four educational hospitals. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 64 air ...

Over the past few decades, antibiotic resistant bacteria have become increasingly common in clinical settings and are now a major global public health concern. Wildlife may aid in the dissemination of antibiotic resistant (AR) bacteria and AR genes. Herring Gulls may be particularly important reservoirs of AR bacteria because they forage and roost at humanmodified settings where they may obtain...

The intensive use of antibiotics in aquaculture results the proliferation antibiotic. In this study, antibiotic resistant bacteria from six different sources (pond Fisheries Research Institute (FRI), and rivers Kukup, Pulai, Pendas Laut, Sungai Melayu Kong Kong) were isolated. These isolates tested for resistance against seven via disc diffusion method. Finally, phenotypic genotypic identificat...

abstract objective: diabetic peripheral neuropathy is the main risk factor of diabetic foot ulcer and its early diagnosis is important to prevent limb amputation. we assessed the prevalence of peripheral neuropathy in diabetic patients. materials and methods: this cross-sectional study was performed on 352 randomly selected diabetic patients using a standardized questionnaire including age, gen...

background and aims: infertility is one of the most important conditions in reproductive system and there is no reliable estimates for global prevalence of infertility. therefore, knowing the prevalence of infertility is important and can be effective in decision making. methods: we systematically reviewed all published papers in medline database and scopus (1988–2010). univariate and multivari...
