One hundred and forty six cases (out of 439 urine samples) were identified as confirmed positive UTI cases. The prevalence rate of UTI was 33 %. Females were harbored UTI infection more frequently than males, 81.5 %, and 18.5 %, respectively. The highest infected groups were 13-36 months (35 %), and 37-72 months (33 %). The samples confirmed as positive were 82.7 % of the mid stream, 65.8 % of ...

Bombyx mori L. (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae) have been domesticated and widely used for silk production. It feeds on mulberry leaves. Mulberry leaves are mainly composed of pectin, xylan, cellulose and starch. Some of the digestive enzymes that degrade these carbohydrates might be produced by gut bacteria. Eleven isolates were obtained from the digestive tract of B. mori, including the Gram positiv...

Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is one of the solanaceous crops of economic and cultural importance and is widely cultivated in the state of Goa, India. Eggplant cultivation is severely affected by bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum that colonizes the xylem tissue. In this study, 167 bacteria were isolated from the xylem of healthy eggplant, chilli, and Solanum torvum Sw. by vacuum...

The current investigation was done to assess the bacterial load and detect the presence of indicator bacteria that acquire the spread of feacal contamination of water of river Ganga at Serampore, West Bengal, India. Total of 110 bacterial isolates, 25 feacal coliform, 50 Escherichia coli and Enterobacter sp were isolated from river water. The objective of this study also showed the antibiotic r...

The catalytic promiscuity of a ferulic acid decarboxylase from Enterobacter sp. (FDC_Es) and phenolic acid decarboxylases (PADs) for the asymmetric conjugate addition of water across the C=C bond of hydroxystyrenes was extended to the N-, C- and S-nucleophiles methoxyamine, cyanide and propanethiol to furnish the corresponding addition products in up to 91% ee. The products obtained from the bi...

The accidental release of diesel and other hydrocarbon to the environment lead pollution environment. search for an environmentally friendly technique remediation such polluted is not be overemphasis. Microorganisms are used in bioremediation environments. Hydrocarbon-degrading bacterium isolated from exploration site soil Kukawa North-eastern Nigeria, was studied its biodegradation potential d...

Petroleum-polluted soil samples from Ahvaz oilfield were enriched, using three methods to detect microorganisms with different dibenzothiophene degradation capabilities. Strain NISOC-03, a nitrate-reducing, oxidase negative, catalase, citrate, and urease positive, gram negative rod, showed interesting dibenzothiophene desulfurization behavior, designated as Entreobacter sp. strain NISOC-03 base...

Introduction of quinoa (Chenopodium willd.), a gluten-free nutritious pseudo-cereal, outside its traditional growing areas exposed it to seedling damping-off. Here, we isolated eleven phosphate-solubilizing bacteria from the rhizosphere and assessed their effect on germination seedlings growth. All isolates solubilized phosphate, produced indole3-acetic acid, hydrocyanic siderophores, ammonia. ...
