Buffaloes are the second largest source of milk. Mastitis is a major impediment for milk production, but not much information available about bubaline mastitis, especially subclinical mastitis. The aim this study was to (a) investigate application various tests diagnosis (b) identify bacteria associated with it, and (c) evaluate antibiotic resistance pattern bacteria. To end, 190 quarter samples were collected from 57 domesticated dairy buffaloes organized (64 samples) unorganized (126...
Abstract Staphylococcus aureus is a major etiological agent of clinical and subclinical bovine mastitis. Owing to the mostly backyard dairy practices, we hypothesized that genetic diversity among mastitis-associated S. from India would be high, investigated 166 isolates obtained Southern State Karnataka, but also few other states. The results revealed (a) 8 13 fragments in pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), forming 31 distinct patterns, (b) 34 spa types, which three (t17680, t18314,...
In the present study, 15 S. agalactiae out of 56 streptococcal isolates recovered from 98 milk samples collected clinical cases, one organized farm and two unorganized sectors in around Bangalore. All were confirmed at genus level using specific primers targeting tuf gene Streptococcus. Species identification for agalactiae, dysgalactiae uberis was done 16S rRNA. Primers designed cfb mig dysgalactiae, whereas sip, hyl skc, pauA either published or earlier used to screen virulence genes...
Due to the legislation and general concern of radiation levels in dwellings India, there is a need continuously monitor indoor concentrations radon Thoron different geographical areas Bangalore, which could be great significance exposure occupants, particularly living places. This paper presents 222 Rn 220 measured houses 10 locations Bangalore. The data was obtained for period 2 years since 2007, covering more than 150 dwellings. arithmetic mean values were found 35.0 21.5 Bq · m -3 ....
Staphylococci are broadly classified as coagulase-positive or-negative based on their ability to coagulate plasma. Besides the Staphylococcus aureus, coagulase-negative staphylococci also gaining significance in bovine mastitis. The precise grouping of or-positive is an important preliminary step establishing aetiology While investigating distribution various species among 149 isolates obtained from milk samples that were standard tube coagulase test, 19 identified S. aureus by a...
Subclinical mastitis (SCM) is an important condition affecting quality milk production. Several coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS) have recently been identified to be associated with SCM throughout the world. Studies on comparative evaluation of tests detect or contribution CoNS in India are lacking. This study evaluated 313 samples from organized and unorganized sectors Somatic Cell Count (SCC), Electrical Conductivity (EC), California Mastitis Test (CMT) Bromothymol Blue (BTB) SCM,...
Staphylococcus aureus is a major pathogen implicated in mastitis dairy animals and knowledge of the different genotypes involved would help to understand its molecular epidemiological aspects devise appropriate control strategies. We studied genetic diversity S. strains bovine bubaline origin from clinical subclinical mastitic milk samples collected geographical regions Southern India. One hundred isolates which were confirmed by routine biochemical methods PCR based on spa typing. The study...
One of the most current and widely discussed factors, which could lead to ultimate end existence Earth man, is global warming its devastating effects. Scientists have asked how fast heating up, effects on may affect crops climatic conditions. Several trends clearly demonstrate that directly impacting on; rising sea levels, melting icecaps, significant worldwide changes. This article will i) explains degree destruction caused by warming; contributing factors warming, ii) discusses what we can...
Biofilm formation is an important virulence determinant of Staphylococcus aureus which a major etiological agent bovine mastitis. Here, 132 mastitis-associated S. were subjected to biofilm production, antimicrobial susceptibility, and the detection ica, bap, agr blaZ genes. It was found that 33.3% isolates produced biofilm. The number resistant individual antibiotics increased by 1.2- 7.0-fold when growing in versus planktonic mode growth, spectrum as well various with increase density...
In recent times, non-aureus staphylococci (NAS) have emerged as the major organisms isolated from mastitis cases in dairy animals, with a predominance of Staphylococcus epidermidis and chromogenes. As compared to aureus, much less is known about molecular types or spatiotemporal epidemiology these NAS species. present study, randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) was employed detect genetic polymorphisms, intraspecies diversity, S. chromogenes strains (n=37) bovine bubaline state...
