A significant milestone in innovation and public health research 🎉

A joint patent has been granted to @NABI_India and @unescorcb for the development of “Lignin nanoformulation-based antiviral agents.” This breakthrough work was supported by the @DBTIndia during the COVID-19 pandemic to advance therapeutic solutions.

The patented technology highlights the potential of sustainable biomaterials like lignin in developing effective antiviral strategies, marking an important step towards preparedness for future infectious diseases.

This achievement reflects the power of collaborative science, innovation, and timely research support in addressing global health challenges.

Researchers from the Functional Genomics Laboratory at @THSTIFaridabad have isolated and sequenced Enterobacter cloacae, an opportunistic pathogen commonly found in clinical samples like wound, urine, blood, and cerebrospinal fluid. This work provides important insights into the bacterium's genetic makeup, including potential virulence factors and antimicrobial resistance genes, with implications for public health and environmental microbiology.

The Functional Genomics Laboratory at @THSTIFaridabad has successfully decoded the whole genome sequence of Staphylococcus xylosus, isolated from the blood of a neonate diagnosed with sepsis. The WGS analysis revealed multiple antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) like dfrC, norA, and mgrA, and stress-adaptive genes (arlR, mgrA). This highlights its potential for opportunistic infection and provides insights for public health and food safety.
