    Abstract Background: Angiokeratoma is a rare cutaneous presentation with unknown etiology.
    Case presentation: A case of a 10-year male, who was presented to the ENT OPD with a swelling over the posterior aspect of the tongue. The chief complaints included growth on the right side of the posterior third of the tongue which was extending up to the base of the tongue on the same side.
    Conclusion: Excisional biopsy was taken and sent for histopathology which was suggestive of inflamed angiokeratoma. Post-excision there is no recurrence till date.

    Abstract IgG antibodies elicited in response to SARS-CoV-2 are critical in determining the protection achieved through vaccination. The present longitudinal study aims to assess the immune response generated through AZD1222 & BBV-152 vaccination among health care workers (HCWs) in a selected hospital. Serum IgG levels were measured approximately at 1.5 months and 6 months after the first and second vaccination. The final assessment was done 12 months after the first vaccination to analyse the sustained antibody levels. Results showed a progressive increase in antibody titres as a function of time. 26 HCWs in all had SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infection, but their antibody titres were not significantly higher compared to COVID-19 naïve individuals. However, a comparative analysis showed considerably higher antibody titre in those who received the AZD1222 vaccine among this cohort. AZD1222 vaccination was significantly associated with seropositivity in the first and second assessments. Female HCWs showed significantly higher seropositivity, and participants above 60 years showed considerably reduced antibody titre in the first assessment. However, the final assessment showed no association with these variables, with 97.1 % of participants reporting to be seropositive. The results indicate good antibody response and potential protection against SARS CoV-2.

    Abstract Multi-drug resistance in Salmonella Typhi remains a public health concern globally. This study aimed to investigate the function of quinolone resistance determining region (QRDR) of gyrA and parC in ciprofloxacin (CIP) resistant isolates and examine the differential expression of outer membrane proteins (OMPs) on exposure to sub-lethal concentrations of CIP in S. Typhi. The CIP-resistant isolates were screened for mutations in the QRDR and analyzed for bacterial growth. Furthermore, major OMPs encoding genes such as ompF, lamB, yaeT, tolC, ompS1, and phoE were examined for differential expression under the sub-lethal concentrations of CIP by real-time PCR and SDS-PAGE. Notably, our study has shown a single-point mutation in gyrA at codon 83 (Ser83-tyrosine and Ser83-phenylalanine), also the rare amino acid substitution in parC gene at codon 80 (Glu80-glycine) in CIP-resistant isolates. Additionally, CIP-resistant isolates showed moderate growth compared to susceptible isolates. Although most of the OMP-encoding genes (tolC, ompS1, and phoE) showed some degree of upregulation, a significant level of upregulation (p < 0.05) was observed only for yaeT. However, ompF and lamB genes were down-regulated compared to CIP-susceptible isolates. Whereas OMPs profiling using SDS-PAGE did not show any changes in the banding pattern. These results provide valuable information on the QRDR mutation, and the difference in the growth, and expression of OMP-encoding genes in resistant and susceptible isolates of S. Typhi. This further provides insight into the involvement of QRDR mutation and OMPs associated with CIP resistance in S. Typhi.

    Abstract Mycobacterium tuberculous peritonitis is a less common cause of peritoneal dialysis related infection in developed countries. As both CAPD and APD are being used as renal replacement therapy in developing countries of South Asia, Mycobacterium tuberculous peritonitis are being reported. Any culture negative peritonitis should be investigated for this entity. In this manuscript, we report an index case and our experience with literature review of Mycobacterium tuberculous peritonitis. The diagnostic techniques, management and outcome are described.

    Abstract Objectives: Antibiotic resistance can arise as a mutation to adapt to stress or be mediated by horizontal gene transfer. This study aimed at identifying the resistance determinants present in the mobile genetic elements of prophages and plasmids within multidrug-resistant (MDR) extraintestinal Escherichia coli
    Materials and Methods: Thirty-five anonymized MDR E. coli isolates of nonintestinal infections were confirmed for their antimicrobial resistance to six categories of antimicrobials by the disk diffusion test. Genes coding for beta-lactamases and carbapenemases in bacterial genome, plasmid, and prophage fractions were separately determined by polymerase chain reaction. Transducing ability of prophages carrying resistance genes was determined.
    Results: Twenty-six isolates were positive for the gene bla CTX-M, nine for bla TEM, one each for bla KPC and bla VIM, thirteen for bla NDM, and seven for bla OXA. A majority of these isolates carried these determinants in plasmids and prophage fractions. Twenty-one percent of the prophage fractions (4 of 19) were able to successfully transfer resistance to sensitive isolates.
    Conclusions: This study indicates bla CTX-M bla TEM, and bla NDM genes that are reported most frequently in MDR isolates are more frequent in the plasmid and prophage fractions thus supporting for increased mobility.

    Abstract The new pandemic of SARS-CoV-2 has shown stark differences in number of affected patients between countries in the tropics and those with temperate environments. Though there have been many theories on reasons for these differences, we hypothesise that this could be due to differences in the fate of respiratory droplets in the two environments. A simple understanding of the mechanics of droplet size, dispersion and displacement could help infection control and public health measures to minimize spread and mitigate the risk of people getting infected especially in hotspots like hospital environments or other closed spaces. This paper discusses the possibility of differences in number of infections and spread between different countries based on the spread of droplets.

    Abstract Multi-drug resistance (MDR) in Salmonella is one of the major reasons for foodborne outbreaks worldwide. Decreased susceptibility of Salmonella Typhi to first-line drugs such as ceftriaxone, ciprofloxacin, and azithromycin has raised concern. Reduced outer membrane proteins (OMPs) permeability and increased efflux pump transportation are considered to be the main reasons for the emergence of antibiotic resistance in Salmonella. The present study aimed to assess the expression of OMPs at sub-lethal concentrations of ceftriaxone in S. Typhi (Sl5037/BC, and Sl05). The S. Typhi strains were exposed to sub-MIC and half of the sub-MIC concentrations of ceftriaxone at three different time intervals (0 min, 40 min, and 180 min) and analyzed for differential expression of OMPs. Further, the expression variation of OMP encoding genes (yaeT, ompX, lamb, ompA, and ybfM) in response to ceftriaxone was evaluated using real-time PCR. The genes like lamB, ompX, and yaeT showed significant downregulation (p < 0.05) compared to the control without antibiotic exposure, whereas ybfM and ompA showed a moderate downregulation. The expression of omp genes such as lamB, ompA, ompX, ybfM, and yaeT were found to be low in the presence of ceftriaxone, followed by time and dose-dependent. The study provides insights into the possible involvement of OMPs in drug resistance of S. Typhi, which could help develop a therapeutic strategy to combat MDR isolates of S. Typhi.
