Development and Evaluation of a Phage Typing Scheme for Vibrio cholerae O139
Chakrabarti, A. K., Ghosh, A. N., Nair, G. Balakrish, Niyogi, S. K., Bhattacharya, S. K., Sarkar, B. L.
The scenario of cholera that existed previously changed in 1992 and 1993 with the emergence of toxigenic Vibrio cholerae O139 in India. The genesis of the new serogroup formed the impetus to search...
Sarkar, B L, Kumar, R, De, S P, Pal, S C
Repeated subculturing of Kanagawa-negative strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus on Wagatsuma agar induced the production of a hemolysin which was not the thermostable direct hemolysin. Crude hemolysin...
Sarkar, B L, Nair, G B, Banerjee, A K, Pal, S C
The seasonal distribution of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in freshwater environs and in association with freshwater fishes was studied in 1982 and 1983. The occurrence of this organism in water and...
Nair, G B, Sarkar, B L, Abraham, M, Pal, S C
Serological analysis of the O and K antigens was performed on 324 isolates of Vibrio parahaemolyticus obtained from three hydrobiologically dissimilar aquatic environments. Only 50.9% of the strains...
Incidence and level of Vibrio parahaemolyticus associated with freshwater plankton.
Sarkar, B L, Nair, G B, Sircar, B K, Pal, S C
We isolated Vibrio parahaemolyticus from plankton samples collected from different freshwater areas in the vicinity of Calcutta, India. Levels of this organism in association with freshwater plankton...
New phage typing scheme for Vibrio cholerae O1 biotype El Tor strains.
Chattopadhyay, D J, Sarkar, B L, Ansari, M Q, Chakrabarti, B K, Roy, M K, Ghosh, A N, ...
The conventional phage typing scheme proposed by S. Basu and S. Mukerjee (Experientia 24:299-300, 1968) has been used routinely for identification of the strains at the Vibrio Phage Reference...
Nair, G B, Saha, M R, Sarkar, B L, Pal, S C
The modified Elek test and Wagatsuma agar were compared for their ability to detect the Kanagawa activity of 142 strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus. The performance of the modified Elek test was on a...

Spread of Cholera with Newer Clones of Vibrio cholerae O1 El Tor, Serotype Inaba, in India
Dutta, B., Ghosh, R., Sharma, N. C., Pazhani, G. P., Taneja, N., Raychowdhuri, A., ...
During 2004 and 2005, cholera was recorded in 15 states of India, with 7 outbreaks. The newly emerged Vibrio cholerae O1 Inaba had a different antibiogram and ribotype, different pulsotypes, and...
