Introduction To date‚ the bacterial resistance to antibiotics is one of the most important global health threat introduced by the World Health Organization (WHO) and most annual mortality due to hospital infections occurs because of this challenge (1). According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report‚ carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are one of the three main antibiotic resistance threats. (2). Enterobacteriaceae are Gram-negative bacilli which cause a wide

Urinary tract infections refer to the presence of pathogenic microorganisms within the urinary tract and its classification is usually done on the basis of infection sites:-bladder [cystitis]‚ kidney [pyelonephritis]‚ or urine [bacteriuria] and also can be asymptomatic or symptomatic (Quigley R 2009‚ Schlager TA2001). They are among the most commonly acquired bacterial infections and they account for an estimated 25-40% of the nosocomial infections (Bagshaw SM‚ Laupland KB 2006). Urinary tract infection

2.4 Mechanism Of Phosphate Solubilization: In contrary to Nitrogen soluble Phosphorous is not supplied to plants by atmosphere . Due to this reason the primary and secondary minerals and/or organic compounds are the source of P to great extent. In soil solution concentration of phosphorous is least as compare to other nutrients and ranges from0.001 to 1mg/ml Brady and Weil (2002 ).There are widely three categories of P compounds in soil: (i) compounds which are inorganic‚ (ii) organic compounds

Multiplication of contaminant bacteria in urine and interpretation of delayed culture. Abstract A prospective study of the bacterial populations of non-infected urine was mounted in an attempt to define the length of delay between voiding and analysis during which culture would not give false positive results due to the multiplication of contaminant bacteria present at the time of voiding. The findings suggest that culture of urine within four hours of voiding is likely to give a true indication

CATALASE Catalase is a common enzyme found in nearly all living organisms exposed to oxygen. It catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. It is a very important enzyme in reproductive reactions. Likewise‚ catalase has one of the highest turnover numbers of all enzymes; one catalase molecule can convert millions of molecules of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen each second. Catalase is a tetramer of four polypeptide chains‚ each over 500 amino acids long. It contains
