BIOTRANSFORMATION OF PHTHALATE PLASTICIZERS AND BISPHENOL A BY MARINE-DERIVED, FRESHWATER, AND TERRESTRIAL FUNGI

Biotransformation of Phthalate Plasticizers and Bisphenol A by Marine-Derived, Freshwater, and Terrestrial Fungi

Phthalate esters (PEs, Phthalates) are environmentally ubiquitous as a result of their extensive use as plasticizers and additives in diverse consumer products.Considerable concern relates to their reported xenoestrogenicity and consequently, microbial-based attenuation of environmental PE concentrations is of interest to combat harmful downstream

Molecular Detection of Inducible Clindamycin Resistance among Staphylococcal Strains Isolated from Hospital Patients

Background & Objectives: Macrolide, lincosamide and streptogramin B (MLSB) antimicrobial agents are used in the treatment of staphylococcal infections.They prevent the microbial protein synthesis system through binding to 23 S rRNA.The aim of this study was to apply molecular methods to detect inducible clindamycin resistance genes among staphyloco
