About

786 clinical V. cholerae strains isolated since 1996 to 2016 have been archived. These strains are from different places of India including Kolkata. In addition, 15 no. of diarrheagenic E. coli and 10 strains of Salmonella typhi have been archived. To comply with Global Action Plan (GAPIII) and guidelines from National Task Force (NTF) on the containment of wild Polio viruses, GTPR facility no longer holds any stool specimens as well as total nucleic acid extract. GTPR activities have now been taken up as a part of Institutional activity to increase archiving of more number of enteropathogens.
