Bacterial Resistance to Antimicrobial Agents
(MDPI AG, 2021)
Bacterial pathogens as causative agents of infection constitute an alarming concern in the public health sector. In particular, bacteria with resistance to multiple antimicrobial agents can confound chemotherapeutic efficacy ...
In situ measurements of bioluminescence response of Gonyaulax spinifera to various mechanical stimuli
(Springer, 2021)
A conspicuous bioluminescence during nighttime was reported in an aquaculture farm in the Cochin estuary due to Gonyaulax spinifera bloom on March 20, 2020. In situ measurements on bioluminescence was carried out during ...
Survival of the blaNDM-harbouring Escherichia coli in tropical seawater and conjugative transfer of resistance markers
(Springer, 2021)
Anthropogenic contamination of coastal-marine water is responsible for introducing multidrug-resistant bacteria such as the pNDM-harbouring Escherichia coli into the seafood chain. This study was conducted to understand ...
Contrasting Impact of Viral Activity on Prokaryotic Populations in the Coastal and Offshore Regions of the Eastern Arabian Sea
(MDPI, 2022)
Viral processes in the coastal and offshore regions of the Eastern Arabian Sea (west coast of India) and their contribution of viral lysis to the organic carbon and nitrogen pool was examined. Water samples were collected ...
Bioluminescence of green Noctiluca scintillans from the coastal waters of Kochi (southwest coast of India) and in vivo experiments on bioluminescence in response to mechanical stimuli and its diurnal variations
(Taylor & Francis, 2021)
A bloom of green Noctiluca scintillans (GNS) was spotted as conspicuous bright blue coloured bioluminescence in the coastal waters of Kochi on 29 May 2019. The intense blue colouration was visible in the inshore waters, ...
Functional and Structural Roles of the Major Facilitator Superfamily Bacterial Multidrug Efflux Pumps
(MDPI AG, 2020)
Pathogenic microorganisms that are multidrug-resistant can pose severe clinical and public health concerns. In particular, bacterial multidrug efflux transporters of the major facilitator superfamily constitute a notable ...
Diversity pattern of marine culturable heterotrophic bacteria in a region with coexisting upwelling and mud banks in the southeastern Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2022)
Mud banks and upwelling are two important oceanographic features occurring along the southwest coast of India during the southwest monsoon period. The study region, Alappuzha lying on the southwest coast of India, is unique ...
Salmonella Contamination of Seafood in Landing Centers and Retail Markets of Mumbai, India
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2020)
Background: Seafood contamination with Salmonella enterica is not only a public health concern, but can also lead to economic losses due to import rejections. Continuous monitoring of seafood for Salmonella is necessary ...
