The abuse of Triclosan, a biocide, also helps to contribute to antibiotic resistance in bacteria through cross resistance development. Triclosan is used in practically every consumer product, ranging from hand soap to plastics and even clothing. Triclosan is incorporated into a variety of products due to its high boiling point of 280 Celsius (Giuliano and Rybak 328). Triclosan is currently classified as an over the counter medication by the Federal Drug and Alcohol administration. This allows…

Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonellae, shigallae, Haemophilus influenza, Pasteuerella, Neisseria meningitides, Vibro cholera, Bordetella pertussis, Bacillus anthracis, Corynebacterium diptheriae, Streptococcus faecalis, Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Borrelia and Leptospira interrogans (L. icterohemorrhagicae). Despite having the combination of bacitracin with neomycin provide a broad-spectrum effect, they do not cover Nocardia, Pseudomonas, fungi and viruses.…

Introduction: The name Pseudomonas is derived from the greek and latin words which means “false unit“ (pseudo = false, greek; monas = single unit, latin). “Monas” was used in the early history of microbiology to define single-celled organisms. In 1786 Otto Friedrich Müller, from Copenhagen, classified the bacteria and named the pseudomonads, they came into the group of vibriones (which was defined as group of shaking bacteria). Many years later it was detected that Pseudomonas are motile. They…

bacteria and as well against fungi. Antimicrobial activity of the drug Tal Sindoor can be tested in 2 methods i.e. Gradient plate technique and Kirby-bauer method. Tal Sindoor has an effective anti-microbial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans. But K. pneumoniae and A. Baumannii are resistant to Tal Sindoor like they are with other…

Antibiotic sensitivity is the susceptibility of bacteria to antibiotics. Susceptibility can vary within bacteria of the same species due to different strains; with some strains being more resistant than others. Antimicrobial resistance is the ability of a microorganism to survive and multiply in the presence of an antimicrobial agent that would normally inhibit or kill this species of microorganism. Antibiotic susceptibility tests are done in order to determine, which specific antimicrobials…

3.1 The isolation of Aeromonas hydrophila When using selective medium developed by Rimler and Shoots (1973), we obtained 95 bright yellow colour isolates with white edge which lead to the alleged as A. hydrophila. Of 95 isolates were further screened using SNI 7303 (2009) methods which produce 56 isolates. The isolates were further screened using Dorsch et al. (1994) and Cascón et al. (1996) method. 3.2 Bacterial DNA isolation and Identification. DNA amplification using Dorsch method…

Animals and treatment Male Wistar rats were purchased from National Institute of Nutrition, Hyderabad, India and the study was strictly done under the guidelines approved by the animal ethical Committee of CSIR-Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology, Delhi, India. They were maintained under standard conditions (12/12 hour light/dark cycle at 25±5ºC). They were divided into five groups having six rats per cage and are allowed to acclimatization for 1 week. Group 1(G1) - Healthy control…

III. DISCUSSION 3.1 retention of Proteins The results of statistical tests show that the addition of probiotic plus herbs on different feed real (p < 0.05) against retention of Red tilapia fish protein. Results the average protein retention indicates that P1 (4,7659%) differed markedly with P0 (1,1505%) but no real different with P1 P2 (3,3455%), P3 (4,1090%) and P4 (2,1154%). The treatment gives the same results Q4 low with P0 feed without granting probiotics plus herbs. Administering…

Oyindamola (Dee) Adedipe `Individual Reponses: Cow Discussion Our team’s discussion post focused on the benefits and risks associated with the addition of antibiotics and genetically modified E. coli to cattle feed the for the cow and its microbiome. Many of the benefits included in the posts pertained to the use of antibiotics to help improve the overall health of the cow. Antibiotics are administered to cows to help foster growth and prevent the occurrence of a disease (McEachran et. al.,…
