“…The emergence of antimicrobial resistance in Salmonella to antibiotics such as ampicillin, chloramphenicol, and cotrimoxazole will further complicate the treatment and management of enteric fever (Ejaz et al, 2017). Strains that have been detected are resistant to some clinical first-line antibiotics used in the treatment of severe Salmonella infections (Boonkhot, Tadee, & Patchanee, 2015).…”

Salmonella enterica is a common foodborne pathogen responsible for major global health problems such as paratyphoid fever and gastroenteritis. Here, we report the prevalence, antibiotic resistance phenotypes, serotypes, and molecular subtyping of Salmonella isolated from eggs in Guangdong, China. Out of 1,000 egg samples, 54 (5.40%) were positive. S. Enteritidis made up the largest proportion of samples with 11 serotypes. Antimicrobial susceptibility test indicated that most strains were resistant to β‐lactam, aminoglycoside, and tetracycline antibiotics (27.00%–40.00%). There were 37 STs based on MLST typing. MLST and ERIC‐PCR classified 54 isolates into three and five clusters, respectively, which revealed the genetic relatedness and diversity. In conclusion, frequent monitoring of eggs for Salmonella, antibiotic resistance profiles and genetic diversity is essential for improving food safety.

BACKGROUND Smoking in India has been known since at least 2000 BC when cannabis was smoked and is first mentioned in the Atharvaveda, which dates back a few hundred years BC. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) has been recognised as one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality in chronic tobacco smokers all over the world. Cigarette smoking produces inflammatory changes in small airways, especially in respiratory bronchioles. This leads to dilatation and destruction of small airways, characterised as emphysema. The pulmonary damage induced by smoking acts slowly and may show no symptoms until pulmonary functions are lost. In present study, the pulmonary function test of smokers were compared with non-smokers, the people of Northern Bihar (Koshi region), Bihar. MATERIALS AND METHODSThe study design is a descriptive comparative study of Lord Buddha Hospital (Central Hospital) and Associated Hospital, Lord Buddha Koshi Medical College, a tertiary care centre in Koshi Region (Northern Bihar) from January 2015 to November 2016. In the study 120 healthy male subjects, 60 smokers and 60 non-smokers were assessed for their pulmonary function test by using a computerised spirometer. RESULTSIn the present study, bidi smoking was most common (58.33%) followed by both cigarette and bidi smoking (25.0%) and only cigarette smoking (16.67%) in smokers. The distribution of grade of smoking is shown in Table 3. Light smokers were commonest (75.00%), followed by moderate (21.67%) and heavy smokers (03.33%). Most of the smokers were in the age group of 40 -49 years (50.0%). Majority of light smokers (53.33%) were in the age group of 40 -49 years, moderate smokers (46.16%) in 50 -60 years and heavy smokers (50.0%) in 50 -60 years. CONCLUSIONTobacco smoking in any form, bidi or cigarette or both has significantly deleterious effects on the pulmonary functions. In this rural study area, bidi smoking was most common. Almost all the pulmonary function parameters were significantly reduced in smokers and obstructive pulmonary impairment was commonest.

BACKGROUNDDiabetes mellitus is characterised by chronic hyperglycaemia due to defects in insulin secretion, peripheral insulin action or both which leads to alteration in the fat, proteins and carbohydrate metabolism of the individuals. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with long term damage, dysfunction and failure of various organs and its complications are mostly caused by macro vascular and micro vascular damages.The aim of the study was to assess the effects of chronic hyperglycaemia on lung functions, which focused on mechanical aspects of lung dysfunction, maximal forced spirometric pulmonary function tests like FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC to be specific. MATERIALS AND METHODSThis study is a cross sectional study conducted among 90 people with type 2 diabetes and 90 people with no diabetes without having risk factors that affect the lung functions.Financial or Other, Competing Interest: None.
