Bacteriological Isolation and Diagnosis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Human Ear Infections

Seventy ear swabs were taken and grown on blood agar and MacConkey agar plate medium in order to ascertain P. aeruginosa occurrence from different stages of ear infections. Using this medium, growth was measured by incubating the plates at 37°C for 24 to 48 hours. The common isolates were found u...

Bacteriophages: Biology, Classification, Life Cycles, and Their Potential Role in Combating Antimicrobial Resistance

Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses that infect bacteria and rank among the most abundant biological entities on Earth. Structurally, they consist of a nucleic acid genome enclosed in a protein capsid, with some possessing tail structures for attachment to hosts. They are classified into two main...
