Bakery food products encompass a wide variety of items, ranging from traditional bread and pastries to innovative and specialty baked goods. Bakeries worldwide craft these products using a combination of basic ingredients such as flour, sugar, yeast, eggs, and butter, but the creativity of bakers often results in a diverse and delicious array of offerings. Contamination of bakery products with fungi is a serious concern, as it poses health risks to consumers. Fungi, including molds, can produce mycotoxins that are harmful if ingested. If you suspect that bakery products are contaminated with fungi, it's crucial to address the issue promptly. This research aims to investigate the aflatoxigenic potential of Aspergillus flavus in bakery samples using the UV light and ammonia vapor test. By employing this innovative methodology, we seek to streamline the detection process, providing a rapid and reliable means of identifying aflatoxin-producing strains. The findings of this study hold the potential to enhance food safety protocols in the baking industry, contributing to the production of uncontaminated and healthful bakery products. The results indicate that 35% of A.flavus isolates were aflatoxigenic, and proper handling and sanitation are emphasized to prevent spoilage and contamination of bakery products.

False smut disease in rice is caused by the fungus Ustilaginoidea virens (Cooke) Takahashi, a sporadic pathogen attack in the field, with symptoms of yellow grain which turns black over time. The number of endophytic fungi on the leaves was 15 isolates with the highest prevalence, namely Aspergillus flavus of 40%, as well as the highest endophytic on fruit by 80% and the highest endophytic on stem by Rhizopus sp. by 55%. The diversity index (H') of endophytic fungi on leaves was 1.332, the evenness uniformity index (E) was 0.272 and the dominance index (D) was 0.72. In fruit endophytes the H' index was 0.500, the E value was 0.273 and the D value was 0.32. For endophytic stems, the H' value was 0.959, the E value was 0.254 and the D value was 0.58. Inhibition test of endophytic fungi on leaves only inhibited A. flavus by 80 ± 0.2% and Rhizopus sp. by 70 ± 0.3%. The endophytic fungi on fruit were only A. flavus which inhibited by 78 ± 0.5%, while the inhibition of endophytic fungi on stems, A. flavus and Rhizopus sp. can inhibit each by 80 ± 0.4% and 80 ± 1.2%.

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is the most prominent vegetable crop in the Solanaceae family. The varying concentrations of meta-Topolin (mT) evaluated at 2.0 mg/l generated the highest number of shoots than other purine-type cytokinins, like 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP) and Kinetin (KIN) from diverse explants of tomato. The addition of Indole 3-acetic acid (IAA) at 0.1 mg/l with 2.0 mg/l mT triggered the production of the optimum number of shoots (18.6) from cotyledon than hypocotyl (13.8) and leaf (11.9) explants obtained from two genotypes of tomato cultivars. The ArkaSamrat (AS) cultivar was observed to be better responsive for induction and maximum production of shoots than the ArkaRakshak (AR) cultivar of tomato. The shoots were separated from the clusters of shoots and then cultured to the rooting medium containing IAA at 1.0 mg/l, which was found to be the most suitable concentration for induction rooting in both tomato cultivars. The complete plants were shifted to the greenhouse and recorded 93% and 89% survival rates in AS and AR cultivars, respectively. The regenerated plants did not show any variation in morphology with their mother plants. This plant regeneration system can be feasible for genetic improvement through the Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and generation of genome-targeted mutants using genome editing tools.

Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are a major public health concern due to their high morbidity and mortality rates, and widespread distribution. Studies regarding the expert opinion on current practices, clinical observations, and experiences related to the use of oral antibiotics primarily, amoxicillin-clavulanate and cefuroxime for managing respiratory tract infections (RTIs) and otitis media in Indian settings were scarce. So, a cross-sectional, questionnaire based study was conducted to collect opinion among physicians involved in treating RTIs and otitis media across India between June 2022 and December 2022. It was observed that managing upper respiratory tract infections (URTI), majority of the experts (94.1%) preferred amoxicillin + clavulanic acid over other oral antibiotics, such as cefpodoxime, cefixime, azithromycin, cefuroxime, and cefuroxime + clavulanic acid. Furthermore, 91% of the experts opined that amoxicillin with clavulanic acid was better for URTI than other antibiotics and 88% of the respondents preferred to prescribe amoxicillin with clavulanic acid in managing acute otitis media. Additionally, majority of the clinicians (81%) reported that cefuroxime was the most commonly used oral antibiotic for managing lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs). Nearly 62% of clinicians opined that cefuroxime has better tissue penetration compared to other broad-spectrum antibiotics. Thus, it was found that experts recommended a combination of amoxicillin with clavulanic acid and cefuroxime for the treatment of RTIs. Amoxicillin with clavulanic acid was the preferred choice for managing URTIs and acute otitis media in children, while cefuroxime was favored for lower LRTIs due to its superior tissue penetration and broad-spectrum antibiotic properties.

Over the course of a lifetime, humans experience a wide range of physiological and psychological changes, including modifications to language, cognition, and psychosocial development in addition to influences from peers and family. Since every developmental stage serves a specific purpose in an individual's life, adolescence is acknowledged as a normal and significant stage of maturation during which adolescents experience a number of stressors and storms. However, despite experiencing significant adversity during their formative process, resilient people were able to preserve a healthy and reasonably steady psychological functioning. Examining the resilience levels of adolescents in rural and urban areas was the primary objective of the current study. 383 adolescents from Dharwad and Hyderabad region selected by random sampling technique. The results show that most adolescents in Dharwad and Hyderabad region had moderate levels of resilience. In Dharwad, adolescents living in rural areas had notably greater levels of sense of mastery, sense of relatedness, emotional reactivity, and overall resilience when compared to their urban counterparts. Similarly, sensory mastery, sense of relatedness, and general resilience were significantly greater among rural adolescents in Hyderabad region. Nonetheless, a notable distinction was observed in the resilience levels of adolescents residing in the Dharwad and Hyderabad region.

Vertical transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) remains a major concern in sub-Saharan African countries such as Burkina Faso, despite the implementation of various prevention and elimination programs. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of HIV infection in pregnant women and children under 18 months of age in the context of the elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV in Burkina Faso. Methods: This was a retrospective study with a collection period from 2019 to 2022. Data were collected at Hôpital Saint Camille de Ouagadougou and the study population was pregnant women received at antenatal consultations (ANC) and children 18 months of age borned to HIV-positive mothers. The most represented age group was over 25. The overall prevalence of HIV among all pregnant women seen at antenatal clinics who tested positive fell from 3.0 % in 2019 to 1.50% in 2022. HIV prevalence among those seen at antenatal clinics who did not know their HIV status beforehand also fell, from 1.22% in 2019 to 0.42% in 2022, a reduction of 2.90%. HIV prevalence in children under 18 months of age by PCR changed from 5.56% (06/108) in 2017 to 0.0% (0/57) in 2022. The number of partners of pregnant women who received an HIV test fell from 51 partners in 2019 to 16 partners in 2022. Conclusion: This study shows a significant reduction in the prevalence of HIV infection among pregnant women and children. Elimination programs must reinforce efforts for a considerable reduction in MTCT/HIV.

The present study was conducted at Department of Plant Pathology and Agricultural Microbiology, MPKV, Rahuri during year 2021 to 2023 to characterize and screen different isolates of Azotobacter and PSB from Different Xerophytic plants from Different districts of Maharashtra State. 68 Azotobacter isolates were biochemically characterized and screened under In vitro conditions for their plant growth promoting properties. This isolates were biochemically characterized and screened In-vitro condition for their plant growth promoting properties. DNA polymorphism of isolates was studied using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA analysis. The genetic diversity among the bacterial strains was assessed by RAPD analysis. All the isolates showed reproducible DNA banding pattern. Diversity among the bacterial strains was assessed on the basis of variation of size number and intensity of bands.
本研究于 2021 年至 2023 年在拉胡里 MPKV 的植物病理学和农业微生物学系进行，目的是鉴定和筛选来自马哈拉施特拉邦不同地区不同旱生植物的不同氮杆菌和 PSB 分离物。在体外条件下，对 68 株氮核杆菌分离物进行了生化鉴定和筛选，以确定其促进植物生长的特性。对这些分离菌进行了生化鉴定，并在体外条件下对其促进植物生长的特性进行了筛选。利用随机扩增多态 DNA 分析法研究了分离菌株的 DNA 多态性。通过 RAPD 分析评估了细菌菌株之间的遗传多样性。所有分离菌株都显示出可重复的 DNA 带状模式。细菌菌株之间的多样性是根据条带大小数量和强度的变化来评估的。
