PCR identification of blaTEM gene mediated for ESBL drug resistance in Salmonella typhi
Abstract: Objective: The aim of the present study to identify the presence of R-plasmid and detect the blaTEM gene encodes for ampicillin resistance.Materials and Methods: Salmonella typhi organisms isolated from widal positive blood samples and screened by standard screening methods. Antimicrobial susceptibility test by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method and MIC by agar dilution method for Ampicillin performed as per Clinical Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI) guidelines. ESBL detection by phenotypic confirmatory test, …

A Method of Universal Primer Design for The Detection of Diverged CTX-M Beta-Lactamases in Multi-Drug Resistant Superbugs
Abstract: Complexity of many diverged β-lactamases in common multi-drug resistant bacteria has reached very high level. We found >40% of common bacteria in Kolkata water bodies were ampicillin resistant and reported clinical isolates were >95% ampicillin resistant worldwide. More than twenty unique sequence classes of β-lactamases were known to cause MDR inactivating penicillin, cephalosporin and carbapenem drugs. Further, there are other diverged MDR genes like drug efflux genes (acrAB, mexAB-EF, tetA), …

A Pilot Study on β-lactamase Producing Escherichia coli from Bovine Milk, West Bengal
Abstract: Drug resistant bacteria have become a significant global healthcare issue that requires close attention. With regards to antibiotic resistance, E.coli and its Enterobacteriaceae family are highly notorious for their ability to swiftly spread antibiotic resistance genes, thereby posing a major concern. In order to effectively address the spread of multi drug resistant bacteria, ongoing monitoring of the microflora in milk for the presence of drug resistant genes is essential. This …
