Genetic Characterization of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolated From Diabetic Foot Ulcers in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Mysuru, South India.

Background Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are common complications in diabetes patients, often leading to sepsis and leg amputation. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections in DFUs pose challenges due to methicillin resistance with and genes. This study aims to assess the prevalence of MRSA in clinical isolates from DFUs, analyze the antibiogram of MRSA isolates, and detect the presence of the and genes among MRSA isolates.

Development and comparative evaluation of droplet digital PCR and quantitative PCR for the detection and quantification of Chlamydia psittaci.

Chlamydia psittaci is a zoonotic pathogen mainly transmitted by psittacine birds and poultry. The low shedding rate of the pathogen in the apparently healthy birds and human clinical cases may result in false-negative results. In the present study, a droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) assay was developed and compared with optimized quantitative PCR (qPCR) for the detection of C.

Quantitative risk assessment of human Taenia solium exposure from consuming pork produced in Punjab, India.

Taenia solium cysticercosis is a neglected zoonosis that affects people throughout much of the developing world. The disease is endemic in Punjab state of India and controlling it is a public health challenge. No studies have been conducted to quantify the risk of T.

Effect of oxfendazole to control cysticercosis in pigs in Punjab state of India.

cysticercosis is a neglected zoonosis prevalent in developing countries including India. The disease has a substantial health impact in India. The control of this disease in pigs would benefit both veterinary and public health.
