| cholera epidemic in goa. | two hundred and fifty stool samples were studied during an outbreak of cholera in goa during the months of july to september, 1988. 80 strains of vibrio were isolated with an isolation rate of 32%. 72.5% of those affected were adults. all strains of vibrio cholerae isolated belonged to eltor biotype, fifty three (66.25%) of them being ogawa serotype while 21 (26.25%) were inaba. nag vibrios accounted for 6 (7.5%) strains. antimicrobial sensitivity pattern showed high degree of sensitivity to chl ... | 1994 | 7814060 |
| rapid spread of the new clone of vibrio cholerae o1 biotype el tor in cholera endemic areas in india. | using molecular techniques, we investigated whether the clone of vibrio cholerae o1 biotype el tor which appeared in calcutta, india, in 1994 has spread to other cholera endemic areas in the country. the ribotype of 31 of the 33 strains isolated from different parts of india during 1996 and 1997 was identical to the ribotype displayed by the new clone of v. cholerae o1 which emerged in calcutta in 1994. likewise, 12 of the 15 strains examined by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (pfge) showed ide ... | 1998 | 9825773 |
| halophilic and halotolerant actinomycetes from a marine saltern of goa, india producing anti-bacterial metabolites. | marine salterns are estuarine ecosystems in goa, receiving inputs from riverine and marine waters. the salinity fluctuates between 0 and 300 psu which makes it a conducive niche for salt tolerant and salt loving actinomycetales. halotolerant and halophilic actinomycetales producing anti-bacterial metabolites were studied from crystallizer pond sediments of ribandar saltern, goa. three media viz. starch casein, r2a and inorganic salt starch agar at four different salinities (35, 50, 75 and 100 ps ... | 2015 | 25449757 |
