The study was conducted to determine the occurrence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing E. coli as well as the genetic diversity of ESBL with respect to blaSHV, blaTEM, blaCTX-M and blaOXAgenes and characterize their antimicrobial resistance and integrons in bovines. Out of total 180 faecal samples collected, 360 presumptive ESBL producing E. coli ...

The spread of mecA gene among Staphylococcus aureus make them resistant to most antibiotics clinically in use. mecA gene can be acquired from hospitals, community as well as livestock. Therefore the present study was undertaken to characterize the methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (MSRA) isolates from domestic animals of Jammu region. Two hundred and twen...

The study was aimed to understand the distribution of various serogroups of Pasteurella multocida in bovines, small ruminants, pig, rabbit and poultry from Jammu and to characterize the isolates with respect to LPS synthesizing genes, dermonecrotic toxin gene (toxA) gene and antibiotic resistance. For isolation, the nasopharyngeal swab procedure appeared to be bett...

The study aimed at finding theoccurrence ofpathogenic strains of Escherichia coli in buffaloes and their antibiotic resistance with special reference to extended spectrumbeta lactamases.Out of a total of 200E.coli isolates from faecal samplesfrombuffaloes, 43 isolates showed the presence of at least one virulence gene studied .Out of these 43 isolates 15(7.50%) iso...
