ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE PROFILE OF GRAM-NEGATIVE BACTERIA ISOLATED FROM DOG NASAL SWAB SAMPLES, AND ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITIES OF AQUEOUS EXTRACTS OF ALPINIA PURPURTA (VIEILL.) K. SCHUM (ZINGIBERACEAE)

Antibiotic resistance profile of gram-negative bacteria isolated from dog nasal swab samples, and antibacterial and antioxidant activities of aqueous extracts of Alpinia purpurta (Vieill.) K. Schum (Zingiberaceae)

The indiscriminate use of antibiotics in veterinary medicine and their negligent use among dog owners have contributed to the rise of antibiotic resistance in microorganisms found in pets.In addition, the search for medicinal plants with antibacterial properties has made the evaluation of aqueous extracts of Alpinia purpurata (Vieill.) K.Schum an i

Interplanetary external driven quasidynamo as the origin of geomagnetic jerks correlated with length of day and gravity anomaly

We report phenomenological inevitable correlation between the Sun’s magnetic field oscillation through the Earth and the Jupiter, with sinusoidal geomagnetic jerks observed at the Earth, additionally aligned with the gravity and length of day sinusoidal variations and we observe too that the Sun and Jovian planets alignments with Jupiter are orig
