Chromium (Cr) (VI) has long been known as an environmental hazard that can be reduced from aqueous solutions through bioremediation by living cells. In this study, we investigated the efficiency of reduction and biosorption of Cr(VI) by chromate resistant bacteria isolated from tannery effluent. Fro...

Introduction: Community-acquired infections due to extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli are rising worldwide, resulting in increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs, especially where poor sanitation and inadequate hygienic practices are very common. Objective...

Water, sanitation, and hygiene interventions have varying effectiveness in reducing fecal contamination in the domestic environment; delivering them in combination could yield synergies. We conducted environmental assessments within a randomized controlled trial in Bangladesh that implemented single...

An experiment was undertaken to determine the suitability of pineapple juices as raw materials for the production of fermented probiotic juice by two lactic acid bacteria, Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus fermentum. Three probiotic juice samples inoculated with L. plantarum (S-2), L. fermen...

Citrus fruits, particularly Zara and Colombo lemons, are vital commercial crops in Bangladesh, grown in Sylhet and Narshingdi districts respectively, and exported to Europe and the Middle East. Despite their apparent differences, these lemons are often considered the same by exporters and buyers, ca...

ABSTRACT Background Corticosteroid has been used to manage inflammation caused by many diseases including respiratory viral infections. Many articles are available to support the good and bad side of this steroid use but remain inconclusive. To find some evidence about the safety of the drug, we inv...

Background: Chromium (Cr) (VI) is one of the toxic heavy metals and environmental hazards. Alleviating the levels of contaminants in the environment is imperative, and studying the bioremediation of Cr via reduction or biosorption is an indispensable approach to this cause. In this study, we investi...

This study was designed to find out the effect of non-hypertensive and hypertensive type 2 diabetes on lipid profile to determine whether these biochemical parameters were affected in individuals associated with these disease conditions. A total of one hundred and fifty one (151) individuals were su...

Vibrio mimicus , the causative agent of diarrhea, is one of the major public health issues in low-income countries like Bangladesh. Epidemiological studies of diarrhea in Bangladesh have demonstrated that surface-water sources can act as foci of infection. The present investigation was aimed to dete...
