An Epidemiological study of gentamicin resistant gram negative bacteria with particular reference to pseudomonas aeruginosa at King Edward V111 Hospital, Durban
(1985)
The sources of gentamicin resistant pseudomonads and enterobacteria
were studied in detail. A total of 1703 gentamicin resistant gram negative
bacilli (GRGNB) isolated from patients, staff and their immediate environment ...
Complex soil-microorganism-pollutant interactions underpinning bioremediation of hydrocarbon/heavy metal contaminated soil.
(1996)
This study evaluated the efficacy of bioremediation as a treatment option for a
hydrocarbon and heavy metal contaminated soil. Microbial degradation of
hydrocarbons under aerobic, nitrate-reducing and sulphate-reducing ...
An investigation of the dual co-disposal of a phenolic wastewater and activated sewage sludge with refuse and treatment of high-strength leachate obtained from a closed co-disposal landfill.
(1996)
Co-disposal with refuse in a controlled landfill is the cheapest option for the disposal of
hazardous waste and, if carefully controlled, can be an effective treatment option. In this
present study a high-strength phenolic ...
Cost-benefit analysis of the environmental impacts of Darvill Wastewater Works, Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal.
(2002)
Darvill Wastewater Works (DWWW) receives and treats both domestic and industrial wastewater from the city of Pietermaritzburg, in KwaZulu-Natal. Sludge from the wastewater treatment is sprayed onto surrounding lands, causing ...
Quantification of fungal degradation of pinus patula and eucalyptus grandis.
(1992)
Previous studies of fungal decay have mainly examined long term
effects of wood decay. In contrast, the present work, was
designed to quantify fungal degradation of wood during incipient
decay. Three facultatively ...
The effects of a cigarette carcinogen on glucocorticoid receptor methylation.
(2014)
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive disease with an extremely poor prognosis. Lung cancer has been linked to cigarette smoking. SCLCs are glucocorticoid insensitive due to reduced levels of glucocorticoid receptor ...
Role of marine nitrifying bacteria in a closed system with Penaeus monodon.
(1984)
In recent years there has been widespread interest in rearing aquatic
organisms of nutritional and commercial value (Calaprice, 1976). The
most hopeful prospect for marine prawn culture in the United Kingdom
(Wickins, ...
Galactosylated liposomes with proton sponge capacity : a novel hepatocyte-specific gene transfer system.
(2012)
Hepatocyte-directed liposomal gene delivery systems have received much attention in view of the present lack of suitable treatment alternatives for several liver-associated disorders. While targeting of liposomes to the ...
Glucocorticoid receptor promoter expression and apoptosis induction in small cell lung cancer.
(2013)
Lung cancer is the most common cancer worldwide and is the fourth leading cause of death in South Africa. Lung cancer is categorised into two types; non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). SCLC ...
Investigating control strategies to limit biofilm formation and/or quorum sensing by Aeromonas spp. isolates.
(2013)
Aeromonas spp. are important biofilm-forming fish pathogens causing great economic loss in
aquaculture. Bacterial cells within biofilms communicate with each other via the production
of quorum sensing (QS) signalling ...
