Quantitative proteomics for identifying biomarkers for Rabies.

Introduction: Rabies is a fatal acute viral disease of the central nervous system, which is a serious public health problem in Asian and African countries. Based on the clinical presentation, rabies can be classified into encephalitic (furious) or paralytic (numb) rabies. Early diagnosis of this disease is particularly important as rabies is invariably fatal if adequate post exposure prophylaxis is not administered immediately following the bite.

Biochemical characterization and evaluation of cytotoxicity of antistaphylococcal chimeric protein P128.

Background: Antibiotic resistant S. aureus infection is a global threat. Newer approaches are required to control this organism in the current scenario.
