Denying manganese availability for pneumonia causing bacteria holds promise for novel antibiotics

BioTech Today August 25, 2021August 25, 2021 1

Arya Sukumar, College of Agriculture, Vellayani Vitamins and minerals are required for the survival of all organisms, including pathogens. Metal ions are necessary for all living beings. Researchers from Australia have discovered how Streptococcus pneumonia (pneumococcus) gets its important mineral manganese from our bodies. This groundbreaking study might lead to more effective treatments against this […]

Biosynthetic Gene Clusters & Cryptic Metabolism in Streptomyces

BioTech Today August 16, 2021August 16, 2021

Shayan Ahmed, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi Biosynthetic Gene Clusters in Streptomyces: Streptomyces genomes have a huge reservoir of uncharacterized Biosynthetic Gene Clusters (BGCs) producing drug-like compounds, sparking renewed interest in these species. However, in laboratory circumstances, a substantial percentage of these BGCs fail to generate measurable amounts of the anticipated chemicals. As a result, […]

Countering Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria and Adaptation to Antibiotic Stress

DNA tales August 12, 2021August 12, 2021 1

Saptaparna Dasgupta, Bennett University Resistant bacteria are a major concern in modern healthcare and pose a severe threat to public health. In today’s health care system, the development of pathogenic species resistant to antibiotics is one of the biggest difficulties. Public health is increasingly being affected by infections produced by multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDR). Originally, these […]

Aging control genes identified in Drosophila!

BioTech Today July 8, 2021July 7, 2021 1

Sneha Singhal, Jaypee Institute of information technology For examining the activity of aging control genes, scientists fed Drosophila (fruit fly) with antibiotics. Activities of most of the aging control genes get changed, and surprisingly, these antibiotics extended the lives of the flies. Drosophila’s life increased by six days after being fed antibiotics. 70% of the […]

Clofoctol: A potential Antibiotic against SARS-CoV-2

BioTech Today July 7, 2021July 6, 2021 1

Soumya Shraddhya Paul, Amity University Noida SARS-CoV-2 created a catastrophic impact all around the world as of now there has been a huge demand as well as an urgent need to develop effective vaccines and drugs to counteract the effects of this pandemic worldwide. As of current data i.e., July 5, 2021, around 185 million […]

Anaerobic gut fungi make way for novel antibiotic production

BioTech Today June 27, 2021June 26, 2021 5

Sayak Banerjee, Amity University Kolkata Secondary Metabolites as a Natural Defense System in Microbes: All living beings inherit a natural defence system for ascertaining their survival. Microorganisms are mostly dependent upon the synthesized natural products that serve as a defence system against threats posed by the environment. This enables them to fight against other microorganisms. […]

Shayan Ahmed, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi Antibiotic resistance happens to be an important phenomenon emerging as a defence mechanism in bacteria. Antibiotic resistance mechanisms are the reason bacteria are able to counter the effects of antibiotics. Immeasurable and indiscriminate use of antibiotics ever since their discovery has contributed to the development of antibiotic resistance. […]

Analysis of new species of Listeria improves food safety

bioxone May 27, 2021May 27, 2021 1

Sagnik Nag, Amity University, Kolkata Listeria is a gram-positive bacterial intracellular parasite that causes Listeriosis i.e. a foodborne infection causing fever, muscle aches, and, in many people, diarrhoea. It can cause fatal illness during pregnancy and affect newborns, adults with weakened immune systems and the elderly. According to statistics, 1,700 people in the U.S. get […]

C28 : Controls the side effects of drugs on the Heart

bioxone May 23, 2021May 22, 2021 1

Aakancha Shaw, St. Xavier’s College, Kolkata There are many such drugs Or rather commonly used drugs that include various types of antibiotics, antinausea and anticancer medications, that have a potential side effect of lengthening Or increasing the electrical event that leads to systole(contraction), thus creating an irregular heartbeat which is known as cardiac arrhythmia called […]

Poor Oral Hygiene could result in Heart Infection

bioxone April 22, 2021April 22, 2021 1

Thota Kanishka Rao, Amity University Kolkata Good oral hygiene is far better than having to take antibiotics in dental procedures for some heart patients to prevent a heart infection resulting from bacterial infections around the teeth. Infective endocarditis (IE), additionally called bacterial endocarditis, is a heart infection brought about by microbes that enter the circulation […]
