Anand Agricultural University, Anand

Anand Agricultural University (AAU) was established in 2004 at Anand with the support of the Government of Gujarat, Act No.(Guj 5 of 2004) dated April 29, 2004. Caved out of the erstwhile Gujarat Agricultural University (GAU), the dream institution of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Dr. K. M. Munshi, the AAU was set up to provide support to the farming community in three facets namely education, research and extension activities in Agriculture, Horticulture Engineering, product Processing and Home Science. At present there seven Colleges, seventeen Research Centers and six Extension Education Institute working in nine districts of Gujarat namely Ahmedabad, Anand, Dahod, Kheda, Panchmahal, Vadodara, Mahisagar, Botad and Chhotaudepur AAU's activities have expanded to span newer commodity sectors such as soil health card, bio-diesel, medicinal plants apart from the mandatory ones like rice, maize, tobacco, vegetable crops, fruit crops, forage crops, animal breeding, nutrition and dairy products etc. the core of AAU's operating philosophy however, continues to create the partnership between the rural people and committed academic as the basic for sustainable rural development. In pursuing its various programmes AAU's overall mission is to promote sustainable growth and economic independence in rural society. AAU aims to do this through education, research and extension education. Thus, AAU works towards the empowerment of the farmers.

    ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF BACTERIA AND FUNGI FROM OTITIS EXTERNA IN DOGS AND ISOLATION OF BACTERIOPHAGES OF PSEUDOMONAS SPP.
    (DEPARTMENT OF VETERINARY MICROBIOLOGY COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, ANAND, 2020) Doshi Dhruvi M.; Dr. B. B. Bhanderi
    Dogs are affected with many bacterial, fungal and viral diseases. Amongst all the diseases, otitis externa is one of the most common disease of the canines. It is defined as an acute or chronic inflammation of the external ear canal. Common clinical signs of otitis externa are head shaking, scratching the ears, otic discharge, evidence of self-trauma and excoriations, swelling and pain. The bacteria or yeasts organisms associated with cases of otitis externa are only opportunists and are not the primary pathogens. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) emergence is a natural phenomenon accelerated by the misuse and overuse of antimicrobials. To combat this AMR bacteriophage are preferred as an alternative. A bacteriophage particle or virion consists of a single-stranded or double-stranded DNA or RNA molecule, encapsulated inside a protein or lipoprotein coat. They are broadly divided into two categories: Lytic/Virulent phage and Lysogenic/Temperate phage. Looking towards the increasing prevalence of otitis in canine population and recognizing the importance of bacteriophages, the study was undertaken with following objectives viz. cultural isolation and identification of bacterial and yeast/fungal pathogens from otitic and healthy ears of dogs, biochemical characterization bacteria isolated, antimicrobial susceptibility testing of bacterial isolates, isolation of bacteriophages from environmental samples and detection of antimicrobial resistance genes in bacterial and phage DNA.
