We report here the first complete genome of the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) genotype III strain JEV/SW/IVRI/395A/2014, isolated from stillborn piglets in India. It shares 99% identity with strain JaOArS982 and a few other strains from Japan.

To the Editor—Emergence of multidrug-resistant organisms is a threat to public health, because there is limited effort devoted to the development of new antibiotics [1]. Multiple new mechanisms of resistance have been described recently, including a new type of carbapenem resistance gene, blaNDM-1, reported in 2009 [2]. Infections due to strains with blaNDM-1 have been reported in India, Pakist...

A new clonal strain of Candida auris is an emerging etiologic agent of fungemia in Delhi, India. In 12 patients in 2 hospitals, it was resistant to fluconazole and genotypically distinct from isolates from South Korea and Japan, as revealed by M13 and amplified fragment length polymorphism typing.
