The overuse of antibiotics has led to the global dissemination of , an increasingly challenging nosocomial pathogen. This review explores the medical significance along with the diverse resistance ability of . Intensive care units (ICUs) serve as a breeding ground for , as these settings harbour vulnerable patients and facilitate the spread of opportunistic microorganisms.

Article Synopsis
  • * A recent study analyzed CPV genome sequences from clinical samples in India, showing the CPV-2c variant has replaced the previously dominant CPV-2a variant and revealed important mutations in the VP2 protein.
  • * The study suggests that new CPV-2c variants, including the 'CPV-2c 370Arg' variant, exhibit genetic changes that may affect vaccine efficacy, highlighting the need for ongoing research into virus evolution.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global public health concern and needs to be monitored for control. In this study, synanthropic rodents trapped from humans and animal habitats in Puducherry, India, were screened as sentinels for bacterial pathogens of public health importance and antimicrobial resistance spillover. From the trapped rodents and shrews ( = 100) pathogens viz.

Unlabelled: Feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) and Canine parvovirus (CPV) infections are highly contagious diseases causing severe gastroenteritis with high fatality rates in cats. Realising the importance of cats as a potential source of genetic diversity for parvoviruses, the present study trace the evolutionary history and dynamics of parvovirus variants by characterizing the full-length viral polypeptide 2 (VP2) gene of parvovirus from domestic cats and cats from rescue shelters in Southern India. The study confirmed the presence of both CPV and FPV infections among the cat population.
