However, diagnostic method has not yet been established and its clinical manifestations are not fully understood. Here, we show that an gene-based quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) developed in this study is 100% specific and sensitive when tested with 39 and 36 non- strains, respectively.

The present study was carried out to determine antibiotic resistance profiles and virulence determinants in biofilm-forming isolated from seafood in Bangladesh. A total of 150 seafood samples, including shrimp (n = 50), crabs (n = 25), and marine fish (n = 75), were screened using cultural, staining, biochemical, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), Congo red (CR), and disk diffusion (DD) assays.

Here, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the prevalence of ESBL in isolated from humans, animals, and environments in Bangladesh. Following the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, the current systematic review and meta-analysis was taken into account for studies published between 2010 and 2021 in peer-reviewed journals.

Materials And Methods: A convolutional neural network as a part of machine learning (ML) for bacterial genera identification methods was developed using python programming language and the Keras API with TensorFlow ML or DL framework to discriminate bacterial genera, e.g.
Poultry meat is considered as a potential source of colistin resistant Escherichia coli (CREC). This study aimed to determine the prevalence and characteristics of CREC in broiler meat and ascertain their possible zoonotic potential(s). Broiler meat (n = 104) comprising 26 of each of the thigh, breast, liver, and proventriculus-gizzard was purchased from the retail outlets, Bangladesh.
