Micro-organisms play a vital role in many biological, medical and engineering phenomena. Some recent research efforts have demonstrated the importance of biomechanics in understanding certain aspects of micro-organism behaviours such as locomotion and collective motions of cells. In particular, spatio-temporal coherent structures found in a bacterial suspension have been the focus of many resea...

Abstract: Aim and Objectives: Plants are a good source of secondary metabolites, which have huge potential to kill micro-organisms. The present study aimed evaluate the antimicrobial activity Ocimum sanctum ethanol extract against drug-resistant drug-sensitive strains Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa). Materials Methods: A total 119 P. aeruginosa, 92 multidrug-resistant (MDR) 27 pan sensit...

background : these days, the antibiotic resistance of pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates to imipenem has significantly increased. therefore the study of resistance to imipenem in this organism to imipenem in determining the appropriate treatment is crucial and necessary. the goal of this study is to compare three phenotypic methods of e-test, disk diffusion and micro broth dilution in the study of...

Neonatal septicemia is a clinical syndrome of systemic illness accompanied by bacteremia occurring in the first 28 days of life. Microorganism causing neonatal septicemia varies from country to country and region to region and time to time. In many situations, conventional antibiotics are not sensitive to causative micro-organism. Our aim of the study is to identify causative organism and sensi...

IN order to make a jucdicious clhoice of the antiseptic most likely to give useful results in the treatment of infected wounds m:lany different factors lhave to be considered in addition to germicidal activity, including tlle irritating properties of the substances, their toxicity, solubility, ability to penetrate tissues and to be absorbed, and their chemical reactions with proteins and other ...

The micro-organism LC, isolated from the sheep rumen by Elsden, Volcani, Gilchrist & Lewis (1956), ferments a variety of substrates to yield volatile fatty acids (Elsden & Lewis, 1953). Washed cells of the organism fermented L-threonine and L-serine. Hydrogen, carbon dioxide and ammonia were produced from both substrates and, in addition, propionate was formed from threonine and acetate from se...
