Toxigenic Vibrio cholerae strains and their associated malaises
Abstract: Toxigenic strains of Vibrio cholerae belonging to the O1 and O139 serogroups cause cholera, a severe diarrhoeal disease that occurs frequently as epidemics in many developing countries. Although V. cholerae is known to be a human pathogen, the bacteria constitute part of the normal aquatic flora in the ecosystem, which includes both epidemic and non epidemic strains that vary in their virulence gene profile. V. cholerae O1 and O139 strains are commonly known to carry a set of virulence genes necessary for pathogene…
Keywords: Vibrio cholerae O1 and O139; wastewater; virulence-associated factors; environmental strains; mediating gene transfer.

Isolation of Aureobasidium pullulans from bathroom surfaces and their antifungal activity against some Aspergilli
Abstract: Ten Aureobasidium isolates were collected from bathroom surfaces in Thailand. They were identified as Aureobasidium pullulans. Cell extracts from all isolates were tested for antifungal activities against four selected Aspergillus species using a paper disc diffusion and conidial germination inhibition assay. BM1, KT1, HKW1 and HKW2 extracts inhibited Aspergillus terreus, whereas KT1 and BM1 extracts also inhibited Aspergillus fumigatus. BM1 extract alone inhibited Aspergillus flavus. From TLC analysis, an antifung…
Keywords: Aureobasidium pullulans; antifungal activity; aureobasidin.
