A gaggle of researchers from Pune and Chandigarh has found new “multi drug-resistant” bacteria from the scats of vine snake, a mildly venomous reptile, generally discovered in Northern Western Ghats.
According to the crew, the newly-isolated bacteria are immune to at the least 35 varieties of antibiotics.
This collaborative analysis work, revealed in the journal Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek, is carried out by researchers from Shri Shiv Chhatrapati College, Junnar; National Centre for Microbial Resource; National Centre for Cell Science, Pune; Microbial Type Culture Collection, and CSIR-Institute of Microbial Technology, Chandigarh.
Ravindra Chaudhari, one of the researchers, stated the microorganisms current in scats of animals can very simply come in contact with human beings and different animals by water move throughout wet season and likewise by air.
“The bacteria reported here comes under family Planococcaceae and some species of this family are pathogenic in nature, so it is important to identify the bacteria in snakes because they can cause infectious diseases,” he said.
“Recently, it has been noticed that the Chinese krait and the Chinese cobra stands out as the unique supply of coronavirus. When the researchers carried out a extra detailed bioinformatics evaluation of the sequence of 2019-nCoV, it means that this coronavirus might need come from snakes,” he claimed.
He added that the World Health Organization (WHO) recently claimed that 70% of infectious diseases will cause due to microorganisms from wildlife. “So it’s higher we begin a analysis into that course and make some anti-biotic medicines, which will likely be useful for people,” added Dr. Chaudhari.
Yogesh Shouche, another researcher from the NCCS, said that many bacteria, including those which are multi drug-resistant in snakes, lead to wound infection after the snake bites. “In some critical circumstances, sufferers could endure from cellulitis, tissues necrosis, finger or toe gangrene, and/or in depth necrotizing fasciitis. To keep away from such sort of infections, antibiotic remedy is the one means. However, these newly-isolated bacteria are immune to antibiotic medication, which is a trigger of critical concern,” he stated.
He additional added that just a few species and strains of Planococcus have been demonstrated to be pathogenic to different animals. Some species result in an outbreak of necrotic hepatitis in chickens. Some of the species and strains of Planococcus are discovered in bronchial biopsy in a toddler with cystic fibrosis. “We are focusing on the study of the pathogenicity of these bacteria in relation to humans as well as other animals,” stated Dr. Shouche.
