Achievements
  • 1. During the long term association, since 2002 with NWP on Haemorrhagic Septicaemia, the prevalence of different capsular type of Pasteurella multocida in different hosts of North Eastern region, their detailed molecular characterization in terms of virulence-associated gene(s), the immunogenic potential of Outer membrane Proteins (OMPs) has been established.
  • 2. Immunogenic potential of different extract preparations of P. multocida of different host species has been evaluated in the field of vaccine development against animal pasteurellosis.
  • 3. Extraction, characterization and immunity conferred by the Outer Membrane Vesicle (OMV) of P. multocida has been considered as the first Indian report.
  • 4. A bacterin vaccine from a well-characterized field isolate P. multocida was formulated and its immunogenic potential was established against swine pasteurellosis. The preparation was also validated in a small group of pigs.
  • 5. With financial support from the DBT, Govt. of India, an Anaerobic Laboratory has been established, equipped with Anaerobic Work Station and Pulse Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE) for advanced molecular epidemiological study.
  • 6. Prevalence of both toxigenic and non-toxigenic Clostridiodes (Clostridium) difficile with their detailed characterization in respect to their toxin types, ribotypes, and pulsotypes, binary toxin profiling has been established as the premier Indian report.
  • 7. The potential interspecies transmission of C. difficile infection between man and pig and the potential importance of food and food products of animal origin as a source of C. difficile infections (CDI) in human established for the first time in India.
  • 8. Distribution of all the toxin types of C. perfringens in a wide range of animal and bird spp. including human and animal origin food and food products has been recorded.
  • 9. The new toxin type (Type G) of C.perfringens with large clostridial toxin (TpeL) and secretory immunogenic protein (GAPD) has been reported Indian isolate associated with Necrotic Enteritis in broiler birds.
  • 10. A combination of toxoid and sonicated supernatant extracted from a most pathogenic and multi-drug resistant C. perfringens type G isolate having additional virulence/immunogenic factor (s) has been established to conffer significant protection against Necrotic Enteritis.
  • 11. Prevalence of Duck Septicaemia associated with Riemerella anatipestifer with molecular characterization in respect to species specific gene(s) and virulence-associated OMP gene (ompA) has recently been established as the first report from the North-Eastern region.
  • 12. A repository of ˃120 no. of well-characterized C. perfringens and ˃80 no. of toxigenic/ non-toxigenic Clostridiodes difficile isolates with different toxin types and ribotypes of different host species including animal origin food and food products has been maintained.
  • 13. A few isolates of Staphylococcus hycus associated with greasy pig disease, capsular type A, B, and D of Pasteurella multocida of different host species, R. anatipestifer isolates (12) along with 5 strains of C. perfringens specific bacteriophage are also being maintained.
  • 14. Gene sequences of gluD spcific C. difficile, recovered from dog (20), Necrotic Enteritis associated netB, tpeL and gapC gene of C. perfrringens type G isolate and R. anatipestifer carrying species specific and ompA gene (5) have got the NCBI accession no.
  • 15. Contributed as one of the Inventors of the patent (Patent no.270519, dtd. 1st Jan., 2016) of the Assam Agricultural University (Patentee) for the invention entitled A polyherbal Composition for Wound Healing and Process for Producing the Same.
