A majority of the seed sprout-related outbreaks have been associated with Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella spp. Therefore, it is necessary to find an effective method to inactivate these microorganisms on the seeds before sprouting. When treatment with hot water at 85 degrees C for 40 sec followed by dipping in cold water for 30 sec and soaking into chlorine water (2000 ppm) for 2 h was performed, no viable pathogens were found in the enrichment medium and during the sprouting process. The germination yield of the seed was not affected significantly (p > 0.05). Therefore, these treatments could be useful for the decontamination method of mung bean seeds intended for sprout production.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition that arises from diverse etiological factors, resulting in structural alterations and functional impairment of the kidneys. We aimed to establish the Anoikis-related gene signature in CKD by bioinformatics analysis.
Methods: We retrieved 3 datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to obtain differentially expressed genes (DEGs), followed by Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis, Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) and Gene Set Variation Analysis (GSVA) of them, which were intersected with Anoikis-related genes (ARGs) to derive Anoikis-related differentially expressed genes (ARDEGs).
This study, conducted between June 2022 and March 2023 in Dhaka, examined prevalence in 874 samples from vegetables, vegetable wash water, and hand swabs from vendors during summer and winter. Of the total samples, 782 (89.50%) tested positive for , with 95.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in isolated from urine cultures of patients with uncomplicated cystitis in Pakistan. Another objective was to analyze and compare the resistance rates of to specific antibiotics, conducting a year-by-year evaluation of these rates to identify trends and changes over the past seven years.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of susceptibility data of isolated from midstream urine culture samples of patients presenting in outpatient department with uncomplicated cystitis, from January 2016 to December 2022 in the section of Microbiology, Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences was done.
Background And Aims: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a prevalent bacterial infection that has substantial implications for healthcare on a global scale. () is a gram-negative rod responsible for most UTI cases. ESBL-producing is widely recognized as a significant contributor to antibiotic resistance.

Cyclic di-guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) acts as a second messenger regulating bacterial behaviors including cell cycling, biofilm formation, adhesion, and virulence. Monitoring c-di-GMP levels is crucial for understanding these processes and designing inhibitors to combat biofilm-related antibiotic resistance. Here, we developed a genetically encoded biosensor, cdiGEBS, based on the transcriptional activity of the c-di-GMP-responsive transcription factor MrkH.
