Genomic and Phenotypic Analysis of Salmonella enterica Bacteriophages Identifies Two Novel Phage Species (2024)
Journal Article

Bacteriophages (phages) are potential alternatives to chemical antimicrobials against pathogens of public health significance. Understanding the diversity and host specificity of phages is important for developing effective phage biocontrol approache...

The microbiological testing regulations for cannabis products in Canada: Are they enough from food safety and public health point of view? (2020)
Journal Article

Canada has recently legalised cannabis for its production, sale and usage in various ways viz. medicinal, recreational and edible. The Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR) suggests that the microbial and chemical contaminants o...

Bacteriophage-induced lipopolysaccharide mutations in escherichia coli lead to hypersensitivity to food grade surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (2020)
Journal Article

Bacteriophages (phages) are considered as one of the most promising antibiotic alternatives in combatting bacterial infectious diseases. However, one concern of employing phage application is the emergence of bacteriophage-insensitive mutants (BIMs)....

Reviving Phage Therapy for the Treatment of Cholera (2018)
Journal Article

Cholera remains a major risk in developing countries, particularly after natural or man-made disasters. Vibrio cholerae El Tor is the most important cause of these outbreaks, and is becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics, so alternative thera...

Complete Genome Sequences of Seven Vibrio cholerae Phages Isolated in China (2017)
Journal Article

The complete genome sequences of seven closely related Vibrio cholerae phages isolated from environmental sites in southeastern China are reported here. Phages QH, CJY, H1, H2, H3, J2, and J3 are members of the Podoviridae family and are highly simil... Read More about Complete Genome Sequences of Seven Vibrio cholerae Phages Isolated in China.

Complete Genome Sequences of Vibrio cholerae -Specific Bacteriophages 24 and X29 (2017)
Journal Article

The complete genomes of two Vibrio cholerae bacteriophages of potential interest for cholera bacteriophage (phage) therapy were sequenced and annotated. The genome size of phage 24 is 44,395 bp encoding 71 putative proteins, and that of phage X29 is... Read More about Complete Genome Sequences of Vibrio cholerae -Specific Bacteriophages 24 and X29.

Prevalence of microorganisms of hygienic interest in an organized abattoir in Mumbai, India (2010)
Journal Article

Background: The magnitude of food-borne illnesses in India is unknown because of lack of surveillance networks. Monitoring the prevalence of food-borne pathogens and indicators of contamination in primary production at abattoirs is imperative for cre...

Chronic Hematuria in a Camel: A case report (2009)
Journal Article

A comparison of microbial contamination on sheep/goat carcasses in a modern Indian abattoir and traditional meat shops (2006)
Journal Article

The microbial load on sheep/goat carcasses was investigated in Deonar abattoir and traditional meat shops in Mumbai. A total of 96 swab samples from carcass sites were collected and analysed from the abattoir, while 144 swab samples from carcass site...
