Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence of Antibiotic Resistance Gene Cassettes aac(6′)-Ib, dfrA5, dfrA12, and ereA2 in Class I Integrons in Non-O1, Non-O139 Vibrio cholerae Strains in India
M. Thungapathra,Amita,Kislay K. Sinha,Saumya Ray Chaudhuri,Pallavi Garg,Thandavarayan Ramamurthy,Gopinath Balakrish Nair,Amit Ghosh +7 more
TL;DR: The results indicated that besides class I integrons and plasmids, a conjugative transposon element, SXT, possibly contributed to the multiple antibiotic resistance in Vibrio cholerae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Analysis of Non-O1, Non-O139 Vibrio cholerae Associated with an Unusual Upsurge in the Incidence of Cholera-Like Disease in Calcutta, India
Charu Sharma,M. Thungapathra,Arghyaprasun Ghosh,Asish K. Mukhopadhyay,A Basu,Rupak Mitra,Indira Basu,S. K. Bhattacharya,Toshio Shimada,T. Ramamurthy,Tae Takeda,Shinji Yamasaki,Yoshifumi Takeda,G. Balakrish Nair +13 more
TL;DR: Overall, there was an excellent correlation between the results of ribotyping, RFLP analysis of various genes, andPFGE, with strains belonging to a particular serogroup showing nearly identical restriction patterns and PFGE profiles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Class I integrons and SXT elements in El Tor strains isolated before and after 1992 Vibrio cholerae O139 outbreak, Calcutta, India.
TL;DR: Examination of the distribution of class I integrons and SXT elements in Vibrio cholerae O1 El Tor strains, isolated in Calcutta, India, before and after the V. cholerAE O139 outbreak in 1992 found them to be concentrated in the pre-O139 strains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of toxin co-regulated pilus subunit A (TCPA) of Vibrio cholerae and its immunogenic epitopes fused to cholera toxin B subunit in transgenic tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum )
Manoj Sharma,Nirmal Singh,Dewal Jani,Rama Sisodia,M. Thungapathra,J. K. Gautam,Laxman S. Meena,Yogendra Singh,Amit Ghosh,Akhilesh K. Tyagi,Arun Sharma +10 more
TL;DR: Cholera toxin co-regulated pilus subunit A (TCPA) was reported to be an antigen capable of providing anti-colonization immunity against Vibrio cholerae infections in tomato.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of accessory colonization factor subunit A (ACFA) of Vibrio cholerae and ACFA fused to cholera toxin B subunit in transgenic tomato (Solanum lycopersicum).
Manoj Sharma,Dewal Jani,M. Thungapathra,J. K. Gautam,Laxman S. Meena,Yogendra Singh,Amit Ghosh,Akhilesh K. Tyagi,Arun Sharma +8 more
TL;DR: Gene for accessory colonization factor (acf) subunit A, earlier reported to be essential for efficient colonization in the intestine, has been expressed in Escherichia coli as well as tomato plants to generate more potent combinatorial antigen.
