Comparative genomics of an extensively drug resistant strain Klebsiella pneumoniae IITR008 with international high-risk clonal lineage ST147 isolated from river water.

Carbapenem resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae causing severe infection resulting in morbidity and mortality have become a global health concern. K. pneumoniae with sequence type ST147 is an international high-risk clonal lineage, genomic studies have been done on K.

Characterization and complete genome analysis of Klebsiella phage Kp109 with lytic activity against Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Klebsiella pneumonia is a serious pathogen involved in a range of infections. The increasing frequency of infection associated with K. pneumoniae and accelerated development of antimicrobial resistance has limited the available options of antibiotics for the treatment of infection.

Antiobesity, Antihyperglycemic, and Antidepressive Potentiality of Rice Fermented Food Through Modulation of Intestinal Microbiota.

The present study has been aimed at evaluating the antiobesity, antihyperglycemic, and antidepressive potentials of starter-based rice fermented foods. High-throughput NGS technology has revealed a number of bacterial genera in the prepared fermented rice, such as (29.44%), (16.

Complete genome sequence and identification of polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis genes of the myxobacterium Minicystis rosea DSM 24000.

Background: Myxobacteria harbor numerous biosynthetic gene clusters that can produce a diverse range of secondary metabolites. Minicystis rosea DSM 24000 is a soil-dwelling myxobacterium belonging to the suborderSorangiineae and family Polyangiaceae and is known to produce various secondary metabolites as well as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Here, we use whole-genome sequencing to explore the diversity of biosynthetic gene clusters in M.

Some Functional Properties of , an Ethnic Fermented Cereal-Based Food of Western Himalayas.

Traditional leavened wheat-based flat bread is a staple food for the high-altitude people of the Western Himalayan region. The health promoting abilities of two types of , yeast added (YAK) and buttermilk added (BAK), were evaluated. A group of microbes like yeast, mold, lactic acid bacteria (LAB), and sp.

Comparative genomics of Mycobacterium reveals evolutionary trends of M. avium complex.

Mycobacterium is gram positive, slow growing, disease causing Actinobacteria. Beside potential pathogenic species, Mycobacterium also contains opportunistic pathogens as well as free living non-pathogenic species. Disease related various analyses on Mycobacterium tuberculosis are very widespread.

Comparative evolutionary genomics of Corynebacterium with special reference to codon and amino acid usage diversities.

The present study has been aimed to the comparative analysis of high GC composition containing Corynebacterium genomes and their evolutionary study by exploring codon and amino acid usage patterns. Phylogenetic study by MLSA approach, indel analysis and BLAST matrix differentiated Corynebacterium species in pathogenic and non-pathogenic clusters. Correspondence analysis on synonymous codon usage reveals that, gene length, optimal codon frequencies and tRNA abundance affect the gene expression of Corynebacterium.
