New rapid and simple methods for detection of bacteria and determination of their antibiotic susceptibility by using phage mutants

Article Abstract:

Three new methods and a novel approach are developed for rapid and simple detection of specific single cells of pathogenic bacteria, such as Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, together with their antibiotic susceptibilities. The analysis observed that this method could be applied to any given bacterial genus, as long as there is access to the appropriate natural phage.

Antibiotic resistance in food-borne bacterial contaminants in Vietnam

Article Abstract:

The rate of contamination and the molecular characteristics of enteric bacteria isolated from a selection of food sources in Vietnam are examined. The results have shown that enteric bacteria in raw food samples from Vietnam contain a pool of mobile genetic elements and that the transfer of antibiotic resistance can occur between similar bacteria.

Isolation of potentially pathogenic Escherichia coli O157:H7 from the Ganges River

Article Abstract:

The isolation of Escherichia coli serotype O157:H7 detected among bacteria collected from the Ganges River is reported. The identification of potentially pathogenic isolates from the waters has indicated that O157:H7 might be a significant but underacknowledged public health concern in India.
