This work was aimed at evaluating the activity of native phosphate solubilizing bacteria on growth and development of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) plants. Bacteria were isolated from the Departament of Sucre (Colombia) soil using selective media (NBRIP), further identifi ed by macroscopic and microscopic observation and biochemically characterized using the API System. Their ability to solubliz...

Succinic acid is an important C4-building chemical platform for many applications. A novel succinic acid-producing bacterial strain was isolated from goat rumen. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA sequence and physiological analysis indicated that the strain belongs to the genus Enterobacter. This is the first report of a wild bacterial strain from the genus Enterobacter that is capabl...

Four hundred and fifty eight water samples collected from domestic tanks and taps and community taps were analysed for bacterial contamination. Faecal pollution was more in domestic tanks and taps in Mehmoodabad, Korangi and least in water collected from community taps of Liaquatabad, Korangi and Mehmoodabad. Bacteria isolated were mostly E. coli, Enterobacter sp, Klebsiella sp. and A. faecalis...

Infections caused by antibiotic resistant pathogens are of significant concern and are associated with higher mortality and morbidity. Nitrofurantoin is a broad-spectrum bactericidal antibiotic and is effectively used to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by E. coli, Klebsiella sp., Enterobacter sp., Enterococcus sp. and Staphylococcus aureus. It interfere with the synthesis of cell w...

AIMS To verify monoplex and multiplex gene-specific linear-after-the-exponential polymerase chain reaction (LATE-PCR) assays for identifying 17 microbial pathogens (i.e., Klebsiella sp., Acinetobacter baumannii, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter sp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, coagulase negative staphylococci, Enterococcus sp., Candida sp.) commonly associated with septicaemia using clinical iso...

This study attempts to investigate the antibacterial effectiveness of three varieties garlic (single garlic, kating and black garlic) on growth Enterobacteriaceae bacteria (Escherichia coli, Enterobacter sp, Klebsiella sp. from chicken meat samples. Treatment Kating single at concentrations 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 90%, 100%. observed inhibition zone Muller Hinton Agar (MHA) media that had been plan...

BACKGROUND 2-phenylethanl (2-PE) and its derivatives are important chemicals, which are widely used in food materials and fine chemical industries and polymers and it's also a potentially valuable alcohol for next-generation biofuel. However, the biosynthesis of 2-PE are mainly biotransformed from phenylalanine, the price of which barred the production. Therefore, it is necessary to seek more s...

INTRODUCTION Given the major impact in terms of morbidity and mortality that episodes of early neonatal sepsis (ENS) have on both newborns and health systems, this study aimed to identify the etiological profile of early neonatal bacterial sepsis by a multiplex quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). METHODOLOGY Blood samples from newborns diagnosed with clinical ENS and hosp...

The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of several non-ionic surfactants (Tween-80, Triton X-100 and Tergitol NP-10) on the ability of different bacteria (Enterobacter sp., Pseudomonas sp. and Stenotrophomonas sp.) to degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Bacterial cultures were performed at 25 C in an orbital shaker under dark conditions in BHB medium containing 1% of surfac...

BACKGROUND Sepsis is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in newborns affecting both developed and developing countries accounting a quarter around one million deaths per annum. OBJECTIVE This study was aimed to assess the prevalence of neonatal sepsis, culture isolates, pattern, antibiotic sensitivity and drug prescribing pattern. METHODS In present prospective study, 48 neonates admit...
