| isolation and characterization of clostridium botulinum type e from soil of gwalior, india. | a strain of clostridium botulinum type e has been isolated from soil samples of gwalior, india. the isolated strain shows curved vegetative cells with oval, bulging, and terminal spores. the production of toxin was detected by immunodiffusion test, symptomatic death of mice and mouse protection assay with trivalent antitoxin (a+b+e). the culture supernatant gave 10(3) mld (minimum lethal dose) per ml without any protease treatment. group specific and serotype specific primers amplified the dna f ... | 2002 | 11829060 |
| oligonucleotide fingerprint analysis of japanese encephalitis virus strains of different geographical origin. | rna fingerprint analysis was carried out with different strains of japanese encephalitis virus which were isolated from japan, china, india and sri lanka. from the similarity ratios, a similarity matrix was worked out which yielded a dendrogram. geographical proximity of the place of isolation did not contribute much to the similarity of the fingerprint of the strains, nor did temporal proximity. the japanese nakayama strain had greater similarity with the asansol strain from west bengal. howeve ... | 1989 | 2807424 |
