After several decades of debate, it is now widely acknowledged that apoptosis, also known as programmed cell death, is central to homoeostasis and normal development and physiology in all multicellular organisms, including humans. The dysregulation of apoptosis can lead to the destruction of normal ...

The present study determined phytochemical content, antioxidant and antidiarrhoeal effect of methanol extract of Fimbristylis miliacea. Phytochemical screening showed the presence of flavonoids, saponins, tannins, phenols, alkaloids and cardiac glycosides. Total phenolic, flavonoids, flavonols, tann...

Abstract A dramatic resurgence of COVID-19 cases and deaths in Bangladesh in March 2021 coincided with the SARS-CoV-2 B.1.351 (501Y.V2) variant of concern rapidly becoming the dominant circulating variant. Concurrently, increasing numbers of reinfections have been detected and the effective Reproduc...

Background. Multidrug-resistant (MDR) clones of Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kpn) have been increasingly documented in community-acquired and nosocomial infections all around the globe. Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) are a rapidly evolving group of β-lactamase enzymes derived from SHV genes by mut...

Background The host-microbe interactions are complex, dynamic and context-dependent. In this regard, migratory fish species like hilsa shad (Tenualosa ilisha), which migrates from seawater to freshwater for spawning, provides a unique system for investigating the microbiome under an additional chang...

Klebsiella pneumoniae infections in young infants are an escalating threat in low- and middle-income countries, yet robust longitudinal data integrating hospital burden, clinical outcomes, antimicrobial, and genomics remains scarce. We performed an 18-year (2004-2021) prospective, multicenter genomi...

Multidrug-resistant bacteria, particularly extended-spectrum-beta-lactamase-producing (ESBL) bacteria, pose a significant global public health challenge. Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPN) is frequently implicated in cases of this resistance. This study aimed to investigate the presence of drug and metal r...

BACKGROUND Multi-drug resistant (MDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae is a public health concern due to its presence in Bangladeshi poultry products and its ability to spread resistance genes. This study genetically characterizes a distinct MDR K. pneumoniae isolate from the gut of poultry in Noakhali, Bangla...

ABSTRACT The white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is a causative agent of white spot disease (WSD) in crustaceans, especially in cultivated black tiger shrimp ( Penaeus monodon ), leading to significant economic losses in the aquaculture sector. The present study describes four whole genome sequences of...

Abstract Background Infections of the central nervous system (CNS) in children remain a major cause of mortality and long-term disability globally, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where a high proportion of cases lack an identified pathogen. Sporadically, human parvovirus 4...
