Abstract: Aim The present study was aimed to assess the liver dysfunction among diabetic patients attending the rural teaching hospital. Objectives: To study the activity of serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Total bilirubin (TB), and serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in T2DM patients and compare it with that of standard healthy controls. Materials and Methods: The present study conducted at MNR medical college and hospital, Sangareddy, India. A total of 150 study subjects who are attending the diabetic clinic are involved in this study during the period from February 2018 to May 2018. An institutional ethical committee approved the present study. A total of 100 type 2 diabetic patients...........

Abstract: Soap bars are ideally considered to be free of organisms based on their high alkalinity & salt levels and thus considered not as candidate for spoilage, but repeated incidences of off colours/spots reported over the past has lead to increase incidences of rejection. Thus, in this study 20 unbranded soap bars available in local markets of Mumbai suburbs were screened for the presence of moderately halophilic gram positive cocci with special reference to the lesser known Nesterenkonia species, an alkalophilic organism. Eight different media known to support alkalophilic and halophilic organisms used to assess the microbiological load, revealed growth of organisms within the range of 103 to 105cfu/g. 151 isolates were picked up as representative of Operational Taxonomical Unit (OTU) of which 65 isolates were identified to be gram positive cocci on the basis of their cultural, morphological and biochemical characters. Comparison of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that 4 isolates were phylogenetically closely related to Nesterenkonia species. Thus, survival of an extremophile organism like Nesterenkonia within the soap bars require strict imposition of microbiological...........

Abstract: Worldwide emergence of new resistance mechanisms in constantly increasing infections of Multidrug Resistance (MDR) bacteria (such as Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Salmonella) is generating a major problem in treatment or prevention of infection against these pathogens. Development of resistance reduces the effectiveness of antibiotics against them. Antibiotics are costly and also harm useful microbes of host body, thus there is a need to adopt drug-independent remedial strategies to defeat pathogens. Phage therapy has therefore been considered as one of the strongest alternatives to antibiotics. Host specific Bacteriophages naturally and specifically kill their host without disturbing the normal microbes of host organism also provides cost effective treatment..........
