Development and validation of multiplex PCR based molecular serotyping of Salmonella serovars associated with poultry in India.

Salmonella species are Gram-negative bacteria with more than 2600 serovars. Among these serovars, many are associated with various diseases in livestock and humans. White Kauffman Le-Minor (WKL) serotyping scheme applies specific serum to determine the serovars of Salmonella.

A comparative genomics approach for identifying genetic factors in Escherichia coli isolates associated with bovine diseases.

Aims: E. coli are ubiquitously present bacterial pathogens that cause septicaemia, diarrhoea and other clinical illness in farm animals. Many pathogen factors can be associated with disease conditions.

Pathotyping and antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Escherichia coli isolates from neonatal calves.

Neonatal calf mortality is a major concern to livestock sector worldwide. Neonatal calf diarrhoea (NCD), an acute severe condition causes morbidity and mortality in calves. Amongst various pathogens involved in NCD, E.
