Multi-drug resistance has become a major problem for the treatment of pathogenic bacterial infections. The use of bacteriophages is an attractive approach to overcome the problem of drug resistance in several pathogens that cause fatal diseases. Our study aimed to isolate multi drug resistant bacteria from patients with septic wounds and then isolate and apply bacteriophages in vitro as alterna...

Anthracnose occurred frequently on leaf sheaths of Welsh onions grown in Gangwha island, Korea in November, 2007. The disease incidence was as high as 30% in five fields investigated. A total of 20 single spore isolates of Colletotrichum species were obtained from the affected plants, and all the isolates were identified as Colletotrichum circinans based on their morphological and cultural char...

The increasing global public health concern of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) necessitates exploration of natural antimicrobial agents as potential alternatives. This study aims to investigate antimicrobial activities of Saharan actinomycetes, with specific focus on the strain Streptomyces fimbriatus AC31, that holds promising potential as an alternative to combat AMR. In this context, 32 actin...

contamination sites of pseudomonas fluorescenswere traced in the production line for milk pasteurization in a large dairy plant in shiraz, iran. samples of raw and pasteurized milk were collected at six sites along the line. all milk samples were incubated at 7°c until the aerobic plate count had reached 10 6 -10 7 cfu ml-1. colonies were picked randomly and identified. no growth of gram negati...

In the present work, twelve bacilli were isolated from four different regions of human skin from Bela population of Nagpur district, India. The isolated bacilli were identified by their morphological, cultural and biochemical characteristics. Seven isolates were Gram negative rods, out of which five were belong to genus Pseudomonas. Three among the five Gram positive isolates were identified as...

Cotton is a cash crop of many countries as it serves source fiber, edible oil, and seedcake. It grown in diverse range environment. Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) gram positive bacterium found different habitats but mostly soil. This produces endotoxin which harmful for various insects. Numerous crystal-forming strains Bt exist nature, not all them are efficient against insect pests. cotton preval...

Over classification problem of genus Streptomyces led the scientists to carry out many attempts to eliminate such problems. The current study aims at the molecular identification of antimicrobial activity of Actinomycetes from Egyptian soil. Among the 75 Actinomycetes collected isolates, 35 isolates by morphological and physiological studies were belonging to genus Streptomyces which were 64.3%...
