Molecular detection of integrons in Escherichia coli isolates obtained from raw chicken meat

International Journal of Research in Agronomy (2024)

Punit Jhandai Ashok Kumar Renu Gupta

This study aimed to assess the presence of integron-producing E. coli in animal-derived foods, specifically raw chicken meat. Out of 63 isolates, 42 E. coli isolates tested positive for Class 1 integron integrase (intI1). Class 1 integron are highly capable of lateral DNA transfer, allowing them to move into a variety of commensal and pathogenic bacteria and accumulate a diverse array of antibiotic resistance genes.

Phylogrouping of Escherichia coli strains from colibacillosis affected chicken

International Journal of Advanced Biochemistry Research (2024)

Punit Jhandai Dinesh Mittal Renu Gupta Manesh Kumar

Avian colibacillosis, caused by avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC), contributes significantly to economic losses within the poultry sector, including mortality, morbidity, and carcass condemnation. Various strains of E. coli, categorized into different phylogroups, possess unique genetic and phenotypic characteristics that influence their ability to cause disease. Present study was undertaken to determine the phylogroups of Escherichia coli isolates isolated from colibacillosis affecting poultry. Tissue samples were collected from poultry flocks exhibiting typical colibacillosis lesions like pericarditis, perihepatitis, air sacculitis etc. In this study, 50 E. coli isolates, consisting of 45 APEC and 5 non-APEC isolates, were categorized into phylogroups. The primer pairs yjaA, chuA, arpA, TspE4.C2 and trpA were utilized for PCR to amplify specific fragments, enabling phylogenetic typing. The results classified E. coli isolates (n=50) into B1 (31%), A (28%), B2 (10%), F (6%) and D (4%). Four E. coli isolates (8%) could not be classified or were of unknown type, and none of the E. coli isolates fell into phylogroup C. Approximately 6% of the E. coli isolates were assigned to either Clade I or Clade II. The research showed that phylogroup B1 is prevalent in E. coli found in colibacillosis-infected poultry in Haryana. The presence of unidentified phylogroups emphasizes further investigation in the protocols and techniques used for phylogrouping. This might suggest possibility for discovering new phylogroups.

Diagnosis of Various Bacterial Zoonotic Diseases in Human and Bovine populations in Haryana State under the umbrella of One Health

Deleted Journal (2023)

Punit Jhandai Karuppusamy Shanmugasundaram Dolly Gambhir Tushar Nale Ajit Shewale

Zoonotic diseases, also known as zoonoses, are infectious diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans or vice versa.These diseases are of significant concern to public health as they can cause severe illness, and in some cases, death, so early detection and diagnos is are crucial for effective treatment and prevention.The study was conducted from July 2022 to July 2023 to test suspected samples of both human and animal populations for various common zoonotic diseases at district surveillance laboratories and district veterinary surveillance laboratories, respectively, in Haryana state.Zoonotic diseases such as tuberculosis, paratuberculosis, salmonellosis (typhoid), brucellos is, leptospirosis, and scrub typhus were included in the present study.Out of 25,911 animal samples, 216 were positive for brucellos is as detected through ELISA.None of the samples were found positive for bovine tuberculos is and bovine paratuberculosis.Out of 13,693 suspected human samples, 2,048 were positive for human tuberculosis, and among 22,750 samples, 3884 were positive for salmonellosis.For scrub typhus, 15 out of 99 samples were positive, while 4 out of 70 were positive for leptospirosis.The diagnosis of zoonotic diseases is a complex process that requires a multidisciplinary approach.Early diagnosis and prompt treatment of these diseases are essential for ensuring optimal health outcomes and preventing the spread of these zoonotic diseases to humans and animals.

Advances in understanding immunity to Rhodococcus equi infection and vaccine development strategies: A comprehensive review

The Microbe (2024)

Punit Jhandai Karthigayan Shanmugasundaram T. K. Bhattacharya Harisankar Singha

Rhodococcus equi is a Gram-positive, facultative intracellular bacterial pathogen which causes persistent purulent bronchopneumonia in foals less than six months of age. Conventional vaccine strategies, like live-attenuated and killed vaccines were ineffective in providing reliable protection against R. equi infection. On the other hand, contemporary vaccine approaches, including DNA plasmid vaccines, genetically attenuated vaccines, subunit vaccines, and e-beam inactivated bacterial vaccines, have yielded mixed results in terms of safeguarding foals from the pathogen. Recent progress in vector-based vaccines, especially when applied to the mouse model, is opening up promising pathways for the development of potentially efficacious vaccination strategies against R. equi. Hyperimmune plasma (HIP) might reduce the severity of R. equi infection in foals, but the efficacy of HIP is still a subject of debate, as it hasn't been proven to be completely efficient. This article provides an overview of current understanding of the equine immune response against R. equi infection and major research findings on the development of R. equi vaccines for the control and prevention of this economically important disease.

Surveying veterinarians on ethical dilemmas and moral distress within veterinary practice

International Journal of Advanced Biochemistry Research (2024)

Punit Jhandai Deepak Soni Radha Rani Pooja Sharma

Growing apprehensions regarding ethical dilemmas, moral distress, and burnout within veterinary practice are on the rise. Despite this, the fundamental origins of these issues have not been thoroughly investigated. There is a lack of research examining the prevalence of moral distress among Indian veterinarians or its implications for career longevity and overall well-being. The majority of participants expressed conflict regarding determining appropriate care to administer. Over 88% of respondents indicated that the challenges hindering them from delivering suitable care caused either moderate or severe distress to themselves or their staff. Seventy-three percent of participants reported being requested to administer care they deemed futile. Ethical discord leading to moral distress could serve as a significant contributor to stress and diminished well-being, a factor that may not be widely acknowledged or clearly defined.
