Molecular Identification of CTX-M-9 and PER gene in Extended Spectrum Beta lactamase (ESBL) Producing Bacteria from Clinical Isolates[ ]


Introduction: Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) are enzymes that confer resistance to most beta-lactam antibiotics, including penicillins, cephalosporins, and the monobactam aztreonam. ESBL has spread threat in many regions of the world. This study is carried out to detect plasmid-mediated blaCTXM-9 and blaPER genes among the ESBL producing bacteria from different clinical specimens. Methods: A total of 397 clinical samples (urine, sputum, blood, pus, wound swab, tracheal aspirates, catheter tips, IVP tips) were collected and ESBL producers were screened.

From Structuring System to Backyards: Transformation of Bengaluru’s Water Network[ ]


Cities like living organisms are in perpetual evolution. Human settlements are made of many interconnected interdependent systems and water network is one such system. Urbanisation alters connectivity of these systems. In case of Bengaluru, urbanisation had robbed the glory of the intricate water network traversing through the city with the tanks as the pause points. The hydrology landscape that evolved from the geography structured the settlements while functioning as provisioning system sustaining the rural settlements. There are many factors contributing to the transformation of the water network, ranging from indiscriminate disposal of waste into the tanks to diverting tanks for infrastructure projects; massive encroachments and severed network contributing to the degradation leading to current state of the water network.

Evaluation of groundwater quality for irrigation purpose.A GIS based study of Nankana sahib[ ]


Sampling and analysis of groundwater of Nankana sahib tehsil, Pakistan has been made to determine and evaluate its suitability for irrigation purpose. three water samples from each twenty five villages were collected and analyzed for various physical and chemical properties like pH, sodium adsorption ratio (SAR),Residual sodium carbonate (RSC), calcium (Ca ++ ), Magnesium (Mg ++ ), sodium (Na + ), chloride (Cl - ), carbonate (CO 3 - ),bicarbonates (HCO 3 - ), sulfates (SO 4 - ).According to results 6.67% samples were fit, while 80% were unfit for the irrigation purpose while 13.33% were lies in the range of marginally fit after comparison with the standard value of the irrigation water used for the agricultural crops. The values of EC, SAR, RSC and chloride were ranged from 367-5080 µscm -1 , 0.23-25.86, 0.1-7 and 0.5-6 meqL -1 respectively. The classification of parameters due to which 80% samples were unfit showed that 5.33% samples were unfit due to EC, 4% samples due to RSC, 13.33% were unfit due to the EC+RSC, 2.67% were unfit due to EC+SAR and 54.67% sample were unfit due to EC+SAR+RSC. By relative frequency distribution 57 samples were unfit due to higher EC ( >1250) samples were unfit due to the higher SAR(>10), 54 samples were unfit due to the higher RSC(> 2.5) and 29 samples were unfit due to the higher Chloride value. In the light of results it is evitable to treat the ground water with management practices and amendments lining of watercourse with limestone, gypsum, dilution with canal water and new private tube well should be install after resistivity survey of groundwater and the farmer should also be get aware with the smart irrigation management practices through proper training.
