The study was initiated to compare market and laboratory made singori with objective of providing scientifically proven best quality of said sweet. Singori is a traditional sweat of hills specially Almora district. The conventional method of manufacturing singori was studied at Pantnagar, Rudrapur, Haldwani and Almora. Microbiologically the singori of Almora was found better with lowest SPC, yeast and molds count and lipolytic activity. The sensory score of Singori samples obtained from market ranged from 6.22 to 8.65.

Study conducted to know epidemiology and accomplish molecular characterization of Campylobacter isolated from meat of different species and human stool samples. A total of 759 samples, consisting of human stool (50) and meat of poultry (251), chevon (183), pork (127), fish (106) as well as carabeef (42) were processed, 50 samples showed characteristic colonies on mCCDA plates. All the 50 isolates were subjected to various biochemical tests and Latex agglutination test for confirmation of the genus Campylobacter. All the isolates were further analysed for molecular confirmation and PCR based genus specific amplification of 16S rRNA gene which yielded product of 816 bp in all the isolates. Multiplex PCR was performed for genus as well as species-level identification; all 50 isolates revealed 857 bp amplicon of 16S rRNA gene specific for genus Campylobacter. Thirty-five isolates exhibited 589 mapA gene amplicon specific for C. jejuni and 16 isolates gave 462 amplification product of ceuE gene specific for C. coli. Overall prevalence was 6.58%. The highest prevalence rate of 13.54% was recorded in poultry meat, followed by 7.6% in chevon, 0.78% in pork and 2% from human stool samples. None of the isolates were recovered from beef and fish meat samples. Most of the obtained isolates were classified as C. jejuni (35 strains, 70%), whereas C. coli was identified in 15 (30%) samples, indicating that the C. jejuni was the most commonly found species.

An attempt was made to isolate and identify Salmonella bacteria from meat samples of different animals around Pantnagar area. A total of 716 meat samples were screened by conventional cultural method and further confirmed by biochemical, serological and PCR based molecular technique. The samples were plated on various media like HEA, BGA, XLD, BSA and MLA from where the putative isolates were tested biochemically followed by serological identification by latex agglutination kit and molecular confirmation using specific genes. A total of 9 salmonella could be isolated.
