Vibrio cholerae O1 biotype El Tor, the causative agent of seventh pandemic, has recently been replaced by strains carrying classical and Haitian ctxB in India, Haiti other parts world. We conducted phenotypic genetic tests to characterize V. isolated between 2012 2014 from Silvassa, examine presence virulence regulatory genes, pandemic marker, type biofilm formation study genomic diversity. Of 59 O1, eight isolates belong Tor prototype, one prototype remaining have attributes both biotypes....
Background: Short-term peripheral venous catheter–associated bloodstream infection rates have not been systematically studied in Asian countries, and data on infections incidence by number of short-term catheter days are available. Methods: Prospective, surveillance study conducted from 1 September 2013 to 31 May 2019 262 intensive care units, members the International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium, 78 hospitals 32 cities 8 countries South-East Asia Region: China, India, Malaysia,...
The presence of chronological infection by the multi serotype dengue virus (DENV) is a major contributing factor for induction Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) and Shock Syndrome (DSS). results indicate that all along with concurrent were reported from third smallest Union Territory India furthermore, rare DENV 4, gradually spreads in new areas India. Therefore, need to understand epidemiology locally circulating accordingly control strategy can be implemented. study was conducted during...
Leptospirosis is a widespread zoonotic disease, which has medical and veterinary importance, also commonly re-emerging infectious disease. The main causes of transmission are known; however, the respective prominence each components environmental risk factors obscure.Present study was conducted in different locations (urban/rural/tribal) union territory Dadra Nagar Haveli (UT Haveli). Periodical sample collection approach used to collect samples from May 2016 April 2017, determine...
A study on biochemical parameters in clinically suspected and laboratory- confirmed leptospirosis cases was conducted the Union Territory of Dadra Nagar Haveli. Out 50 samples leptospirosis, 38% were positive from both ELISA IgM rapid card test. In present study, liver markers such as bilirubin, Serum Glutamate Oxalo acetic Transaminase (SGOT) Pyruvic (SGPT) encountered elevation 68%, 100% 89% respectively leptospiosis patent while 48 %of patients showed kidney marker, creatinine blood urea....
Endometrial cancer (EC), endometriosis (ENDO), and obesity (OBY) are interconnected conditions in women that may share underlying genetic pathways. This study aimed to identify shared pathways differential gene expressions across these uncover potential therapeutic targets. A bioinformatics pipeline was applied using expression datasets from the GEO database, incorporating analysis, functional pathway enrichment, PPI network construction, survival mutational profiling 198 samples. The...
The injuries caused by dog bites have grown to such epidemic proportions that they are now considered a major public health concern. epidemiology of in the UT Dadra & Nagar Haveli has been evaluated, for year 2012. This assessment included victims age, sex, biting site and season year. During study, total 938 bites, were reported from aforesaid place. Of all reported, 39.6% victim belonged age group upto 0-15 (children) 60.4% more than 15 years old (adults). majority incidents 40.8%...
Cholera, a disease caused by the Vibrio cholerae bacteria, threatens public health worldwide. The organism mentioned above has significant historical record of being identified as prominent aquatic environmental pollutant capable adapting its phenotypic and genotypic traits to react host patients effectively. This study aims elucidate heterogeneity sporadic clinical strain V. VC01 among residing in Silvasa. involved conducting whole-genome sequencing isolate obtained from exhibiting...

Objectives: The indigenous factors any geographical region are unique, it contributes to incidence snakebite outcome. necessary consider preventive curative policies. study was conducted understand epidemiological, geographical, demographical aspect union territory...
Genus Pantoea is a diverse group of the family Enterobacteriaceae which inhabit various ecological niches. Various species are found associated with host range that include plants, animals, insects and humans. Besides this spp. has been widely distributed in nature including water, soil, dairy products, meat fish. It commonly plants as epiphyte or pathogen. was first recognized genus about 25 years ago, but since then, approximately 20 wide characteristics have discovered. Identification...
