antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of meticillin-susceptible and -resistant staphylococcus aureus: focus on daptomycin minimum inhibitory concentrations at a tertiary care centre in mumbai, india.	in this study, daptomycin minimum inhibitory concentrations (mics) for staphylococcus aureus isolates were determined using etest strips and were correlated with staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (sccmec) types and panton-valentine leukocidin (pvl) gene positivity. in total, 60 meticillin-resistant s. aureus (mrsa) and 60 meticillin-susceptible s. aureus (mssa) isolates from clinical samples were subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing by disk diffusion according to clinical and l ...	2010	20594809
goat pox virus isolated from an outbreak at akola, maharashtra (india) phylogenetically related to chinese strain.	in this study, we investigated a goat pox outbreak that occurred in an organized goat farm in a village named yerenda near akola, maharashtra, india during 2007-2008. the outbreak involved in 175 goats including kids of local nondescript breeds with a morbidity, mortality, and case fatality rate, respectively, of 20%, 11.4%, and 60%. the goat pox virus (gtpv) antigen/nucleic acid in the clinical samples was detected by cie and pcrs whereas virus-specific antibody was detected by using snt and in ...	2010	20383607
