Culture-positive unilateral panophthalmitis in a serology-positive case of dengue hemorrhagic fever.

Dengue fever, a mosquito-borne disease commonly found in the tropics, is one of the most prevalent forms of Flavivirus infection in humans. Symptomatically, it is characterized by fever, arthralgia, headache, and rash. Ophthalmic manifestations can involve both the anterior and posterior segment.

Expression analysis of toll-like receptors of Dengue-infected cornea by real-time polymerase chain reaction.

Background: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a significant role based on innate immune mechanism during viral infection. TLR signaling mechanism designates to protect the cells from invading viruses. The expression of TLRs during dengue virus (DENV) infection not yet well explained.

Application of six multiplex PCR's among 200 clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa for the detection of 20 drug resistance encoding genes.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is a menacing opportunistic, nosocomial pathogen; become a growing concern as conventional antimicrobial therapy is now futile against it. Multi-drug resistant P.

Virulence genome analysis of VRFPA10 recovered from patient with scleritis.

Infectious keratitis is a major cause of blindness, next to cataract and majority of cases are mainly caused by gram negative bacterium . . In this study, we investigated a .

Nested reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reactions targeting the messenger RNA of icl2, hspx, and rRNAP1 genes to detect viable Mycobacterium tuberculosis directly from clinical specimens.

There is an urgent need for a rapid and reliable test to detect actively multiplying Mycobacterium tuberculosis directly from clinical specimens for an early initiation of the appropriate antituberculous treatment. This study was aimed at the optimization and application of nested reverse transcriptase-PCR (nRT-PCR) targeting the messenger RNA of the icl2, hspx, and rRNAP1 genes directly from sputum specimens, and their evaluation against the culture by the BACTEC MicroMGIT mycobacterial culture system. 203 Sputum samples from clinically suspected tuberculosis patients and 30 control specimens (clinically proven viral or bacterial infections other than tuberculosis) were included in this study.

Resistome and pathogenomics of multidrug resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa VRFPA03, VRFPA05 recovered from alkaline chemical keratitis and post-operative endophthalmitis patient.

Eye infections due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important cause of ocular morbidity. We presents the whole genomic comparative analysis of two P. aeruginosa VRFPA03 and VRFPA05 isolated from alkaline chemical injury mediated keratitis and post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis patients, respectively.

Draft genome sequence of blaVeb-1, blaoxa-10 producing multi-drug resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain VRFPA09 recovered from bloodstream infection.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) bacteremia causes significant mortality rate due to emergence of multidrug resistant (MDR) nosocomial infections. We report the draft genome sequence of P.

Isolation of from a corneal biopsy in India.

Introduction: Rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) are ubiquitous and are usually considered as saprophytes, and have been recovered from the environment, particularly in dust, watery soil and water distribution systems. However, is a rare causative agent of ocular infection.

Case Presentation: We report a case of in a 44-year-old female with signs and symptoms of a corneal ulcer.

Whole-Genome Sequencing and Mutation Analysis of Two Extensively Drug-Resistant Sputum Isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (VRFCWCF XDRTB 232 and VRFCWCF XDRTB 1028) from Chennai, India.

We announce the draft genome sequence of two extensively drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains, VRFCWCF XDRTB 232 and VRFCWCF XDRTB 1028, isolated from the sputum samples of a patient clinically suspected to have tuberculosis, and we also report novel mutations that confer drug resistance.

Comparative Genomic Analysis of Multidrug-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Clinical Isolates VRFPA06 and VRFPA08 with VRFPA07.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates harboring acquired drug-resistant genes lead to increased mortality. Here, we have sequenced and annotated the genomes of two multidrug-resistant (MDR) P. aeruginosa isolates and a susceptible P.

Draft Genome Sequence of Multidrug-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Strain VRFPA02, Isolated from a Septicemic Patient in India.

Multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains, which are notable nosocomial pathogens, have greatly increased the mortality rate of septicemic patients due to treatment failure. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of P. aeruginosa strain VRFPA02, a human bloodstream isolate that has phenotypically proven to be resistant to a broad spectrum of antibiotics.

Optimization and application of a reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction to determine the bacterial viability in infectious endophthalmitis.

Purpose: To develop RNA based assay - reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to detect viable bacteria in intraocular specimens obtained from patients with infectious endophthalmitis.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-five intraocular specimens (19 vitreous fluid and 16 aqueous humor) collected from patients with typical infectious endophthalmitis were subjected to conventional and molecular microbiological investigations. Culture negative, eubacterial genome PCR positive intraocular specimens were subjected to denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (dHPLC) for separation of mixed genomes and subsequently identified by PCR based DNA sequencing.

Phylogenetic comparison of exonic US4, US7 and UL44 regions of clinical herpes simplex virus type 1 isolates showed lack of association between their anatomic sites of infection and genotypic/sub genotypic classification.

Background: HSV-1 genome is a mosaic of recombinants. Clinical Herpes simplex virus -1 (HSV1) isolates were already genotyped as A, B and C types based on nucleotide variations at Unique Short (US) 4 (gG) and US 7 (gI) regions through phylogeny. Analysis of Glycoprotein C (gC) exon present on the Unique Long (UL) region had also revealed the existence of different genotypes.
