Genetic characterization of virulence and extended spectrum β-lactamase producing genes of isolated from bovine milk.

Mastitis associated species were isolated from bovine milk to characterize virulence genes ( and ) and extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) genes (, , , , and ). A total number of 325 bovine milk samples (195 raw and 130 mastitic milk specimens) collected from Banaskantha, a milk-shed district of Gujarat, India, were included in the study. A total number of 27 isolates were recovered, consisting of 17 (62.

Pharmacokinetic enhancement of marbofloxacin by alpha-1-monolaurin pre-treatment in broiler chickens.

The present study investigated the prospect of improvement in pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of marbofloxacin due to alpha-1-monolaurin pre-treatment in broiler chickens. Two groups of broilers were administered a single oral dose of marbofloxacin (5.00 mg kg body weight): Group-I without pre-treatment and Group-II with alpha-1-monolaurin pre-treatment (4.

Recent developments in receptor tyrosine kinases targeted anticancer therapy.

Novel concepts and understanding of receptors lead to discoveries and optimization of many small molecules and antibodies as anti-cancerous drugs. Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are such a promising class of receptors under the investigation in past three decades. RTKs are one of the essential mediators of cell signaling mechanism for various cellular processes.
