Synthesis of CuSe/PVP/GO and CuSe/MWCNTs for their applications as nonenzymatic electrochemical glucose biosensors.

Copper selenide (CuSe) is an inorganic binary compound which exhibits metallic behavior with zero band gap. CuSe has multiple applications in electrocatalysis, photothermal therapy, flexible electronic and solar cells. In the current study, copper selenide based nanocomposites CuSe/PVP/GO and CuSe/MWCNTs were synthesized by using the sol-gel method for application as a non-enzymatic glucose biosensor.

Novel plasmids in multidrug-resistant Shigella flexneri serotypes from Pakistan.

Shigellosis is the main cause of food and waterborne diarrhea and is an emerging threat to human health. The current study characterized the indigenous multidrug-resistant Shigella flexneri serotypes for their plasmid profiles and genetic diversity, to characterize the plasmid evolutionary patterns and distribution. In total, 199 identified S.

Biodiesel Production Using Wild Apricot () Seed Oil via Heterogeneous Catalysts.

We confined the formation and characterization of heterogenous nano-catalysts and then used them to produce biodiesel from the novel non-edible seed oil of . seeds' oil content was extracted at about 52.4 ± 3% with 0.

Antimicrobial Resistance of Shigella flexneri in Pakistani Pediatric Population Reveals an Increased Trend of Third-Generation Cephalosporin Resistance.

The rapid emergence of resistance to third-generation cephalosporins in Shigella flexneri is crucial in pediatric shigellosis management. Limited studies have been conducted on molecular pattern of antibiotic resistance of S. flexneri in diarrhea endemic areas of Pakistan.

Typhi from Northwest Pakistan: Molecular Strain Typing and Drug Resistance Signature.

To determine the molecular strain typing and drug resistance pattern of serovar Typhi prevalent in Northwest Pakistan. A total of 2,138 blood samples of suspected typhoid patients from Northwest Pakistan were collected followed by identification of Typhi through biochemical, serological, and species-specific gene amplification. These isolates were typed by variable-number tandem repeat (VNTR) profiling and investigated for drug resistance.

Prevalence and associated risk factors of Shigella flexneri isolated from drinking water and retail raw foods in Peshawar, Pakistan.

This study was designed to investigate the prevalence and associated risk factors of Shigella flexneri isolated from drinking water and retail raw food samples in Peshawar, Pakistan. A total of 1,020 different samples were collected from various areas of Peshawar between January 2016 and May 2017, followed by identification of S. flexneri through biochemical, serological, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing.

Virulence profiling of Shigella flexneri and emergence of serotype 2b as a highly virulent shigellosis causing strain in Pakistan.

Bacillary diarrhea caused by Shigella flexneri is mediated by various virulence factors which make it the leading agent of diarrhea in developing countries. Previously, a high prevalence of S. flexneri, associated with diarrhea has been reported in Pakistan but no data is available on their virulence profile.

Association of Serotype With Antimicrobial Resistance Patterns Among Shigella flexneri Isolates From Pakistan: The Importance of Serotype 2b.

Background: Shigella flexneri is an emerging threat in low socioeconomic countries including Pakistan. No previous data is available on the association between S. flexneri serotypes and antimicrobial resistance in Pakistan.

Shigella flexneri: an emerging pathogen.

Shigella flexneri is a leading etiologic agent of diarrhea in low socioeconomic countries. Notably, various serotypes in S. flexneri are reported from different regions of the world.

Molecular epidemiology of Shigella flexneri isolated from pediatrics in a diarrhea-endemic area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.

Shigella flexneri is considered as an important causative agent of Shigellosis causing diarrhea in the countries with a low socioeconomic status. No study has been carried out on the molecular prevalence of S. flexneri in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.
