    Abstract Salmonella Typhimurium is an enteric pathogen that is highly tolerant to bile. Next-generation mRNA sequencing was performed to analyze the adaptive responses to bile in two S. Typhimurium strains: wild type (WT) and a mutant lacking cold shock protein E (ΔcspE). CspE is an RNA chaperone which is crucial for survival of S. Typhimurium during bile stress. This study identifies transcriptional responses in bile-tolerant WT and bile-sensitive ΔcspE. Upregulation of several genes involved in nitrate metabolism was observed, including fnr, a global regulator of nitrate metabolism. Notably, Δfnr was susceptible to bile stress. Also, complementation with fnr lowered reactive oxygen species and enhanced the survival of bile-sensitive ΔcspE. Importantly, intracellular nitrite amounts were highly induced in bile-treated WT compared to ΔcspE. Also, the WT strain pre-treated with nitrate displayed better growth with bile. These results demonstrate that nitrate-dependent metabolism promotes adaptation of S. Typhimurium to bile.

    Abstract Antibiotic resistance is a major global health concern. The increased use of herbicides may lead to multiple antibiotic resistance in bacteria. Conventional techniques for diagnosing antibiotic resistance are laborious, time-intensive, expensive, and lack information about antibiotic susceptibility. On the other hand, Raman spectroscopy is a rapid, label-free, noninvasive alternative to traditional techniques to detect antibiotic resistance. In this study, two popular herbicides 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D) and

    Abstract Context: The adoption of directly observed treatment short course (DOTS) in Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme has given impressive results with higher treatment success. But interruption of treatment has been one of the major obstacles to treatment of tuberculosis.
    Aims: The aim of the study was to evaluate the determinants of treatment interruption and outcome. It also evaluated the impact of treatment interruption on treatment outcomes.
    Settings and design: The study was carried out in the area covered under Bhatar tuberculosis unit (TU) of Burdwan district of West Bengal. The study was a descriptive cross-sectional study.
    Methods and material: Smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients were taken as study subjects in both the components of study. Complete enumeration technique, rather than sampling, was followed in this study. Data were collected in a predesigned and pretested schedule.
    Statistical analysis used: Data were analyzed by percentages and proportion. Chi-square test was used to find the association between variables.
    Results: Gender, religion, and substance abuse were found to be statistically significant factors with interruption. It was also observed that treatment outcome was not statistically significant with age, gender, religion, and category of treatment. In the study, 84.6% of the study subjects with interruption less than 1 week had favorable outcome. But in study subjects with longer duration of interruption (≥2 weeks), only 12.5% had favorable outcome. Not only interruption, duration of interruption was found to be adversely affecting the treatment outcome.
    Conclusions: Interruption had an impact on the treatment outcome in the present study. Unfavorable outcomes were significantly more frequent among patients with interruption as compared to those without any interruption.

    Abstract Introduction: Lumbar spinal canal stenosis is the progressive narrowing of spinal canal that causes compression of nerve roots before their exit. The presenting symptoms of spinal canal stenosis includes bilateral lower extremity pain, altered sensation in both legs and poorly localised weakness and generally associated with low back pain. Determination of normal diameter and its variation with development of low back pain could prove useful in determining the aetiology and outcome of congenital or acquired causes of stenosis like spondylolisthesis, Paget’s disease, fluorosis, etc. Aim: To measure and compare the mid-sagittal anteroposterior diameter of lumbar canal in symptomatic cases with low back pain and asymptomatic subjects using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Materials and Methods: The present study was a hospital- based cross-sectional, observational study involving Outpatient Department (OPD) patients of Bangur Institute of Neurosciences, Kolkata, West Bengal, India, was undertaken from May 2012 to July 2012. The study participants were selected by systematic random sampling. Total number of 102 cases were investigated in the present study. Out of these, 52 cases were symptomatic patients of low back pain and rest 50 cases were asymptomatic. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) was done to estimate the mid-sagittal anteroposterior diameter at different levels of lumbar canal. Unpaired t-test was used as test of significance using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 19.0. A p-value <0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: In the present study, in the asymptomatic group, the anteroposterior diameter at the intervertebral disc level- between L1-L2=18.364±1.4351 mm, L2-L3=17.470±1.3298 mm, L3-L4=16.670±1.6042 mm, L4-L5=15.200±1.8906 mm, L5-S1=14.196±2.1092 mm. Mean diameter of central lumbar vertebral canal was found to be lower in symptomatic cases with low back pain at different vertebral levels and the difference was found to be statistically significant ...

    Abstract To overcome the drawbacks associated with chemotherapeutic and porphyrin-based photodynamic therapy (PDT) agents, the use of BODIPY (boron-dipyrromethene) scaffold has gained prominence in designing a new generation of photosensitizers-cum-cellular imaging agents. However, their poor cell permeability and limited solubility in aqueous medium inhibits the in-vitro application of their organic form. This necessitates the development of metal-BODIPY conjugates with improved physiological stability and enhanced therapeutic efficacy. We have designed two iron(III)-BODIPY conjugates, [Fe(L

However, conventional techniques for diagnosing antibiotic resistance are time-consuming and labor-intensive.
