The Phyllanthus genus is very important plant traded as a raw herbal medicine in India. Commonly known as 'Bhumyamalaki' (Phyllanthus species) has been used for the prevention and treatment of jaundice. Phyllanthus is rich in diversity of bioactive compounds such as lignans, alkaloids, terpenoids, flavonoids, and tannins.

These bacteria are also reported to be prevalent in the environment where they survive by adopting various recombination strategies to counter microflora of the soil and water, under constant selection pressure(s). In this study, we performed molecular characterization, phenotypic AMR analysis, and whole genome sequencing (WGS) of ( = 37) isolated from soil and surface water representing the urban and peri-urban areas.

Within this context, through machine learning-based studies, it appears that TA systems play an important role in the classification of high-risk clonal lineages and could be attributed to their epidemiological success. Due to these profound indications and assumptions, we attempted to provide unique insights into the ordered world of TA systems at the population level by investigating the diversity and evolutionary patterns of TA genes across 19 different STs of .

The draft genomes of two Indian strains NIVEDIPm17 (serogroup D) and NIVEDIPm36 (serogroup A) were sequenced. A total of 2182-2284 coding sequences (CDSs) were predicted along with 5-6 rRNA and 45-46 tRNA genes in the genomes.

Inappropriate and irrational use of antimicrobials in the livestock industry has resulted in an increased incidence of multi-drug resistant bacteria of epidemic potentials.
Materials And Methods: The adhesion and invasion properties of 11 free-range and broiler chicken derived Helicobacterpullorum isolates were evaluated.
In October 2021, 59 scientists from 14 countries and 13 U.S. states collaborated virtually in the Third Annual Baylor College of Medicine & DNANexus Structural Variation hackathon.

Although, HS causing P. multocida strains were identified and characterized by conventional tools and PCR assays, diverse strains are indistinguishable by these tools in the face of disease outbreaks.

In this study, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (n = 1) and methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) (n = 2) from retail fish were subjected to comprehensive genome analysis.

Current study explores biofilm formation by Staphylococcus aureus isolates from clinical samples by different methods.
Methodology: Standard techniques used for the characterization of S.
Chemotherapy and emergence of drug resistance strains of Staphylococcus aureus is receiving serious threats, due to the origin and spread of hospital and community acquired MDR strains. The present study reports the prevalence of antibiotic resistance among Staphylococcus aureus isolated from clinical samples from different cities of India. Antibiotic sensitivity was performed by Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method and minimum inhibitory concentrations were determined for vancomycin and methicillin according to CLSI (2014) guidelines.
