Circulating Genotypes of Dengue-1 Virus in South West India, 2014-2015.

abstract：:Vibrio vulnificus is a Gram-negative bacterium which is associated with severe infections in humans. We experienced two cases of sucrose-fermenting V. vulnificus infection. The causative agents in both cases were unidentifiable by conventional identification systems because of their unique characteristics, and sequenc...
