Mucositis and oral infections secondary to gram negative rods in patients with prolonged neutropenia

Patients with prolonged neutropenia are at risk for a variety of complications and infections including the development of mucositis and oral ulcers. The changes in oral flora during chemotherapy and its effects on the development of infections of the oral cavity have been studied with inconsistent results. However, there is evidence that supports the colonization of gram negative rods in patie...

multidrug resistant gram-negative bacilli in lower respiratory tract infections.

background: lower respiratory tract infections are among important causes of morbidity and mortality for all age groups. the emergence of multidrug resistant gram-negative bacilli is an issue of increasing concern. materials and methods: a retrospective study including respiratory specimens (sputum and bal) was conducted in our tertiary care centre. samples were processed for microscopy, cultur...

Tobramycin, amikacin, sissomicin, and gentamicin resistant Gram-negative rods.

Sensitivities to gentamicin, sissomicin, tobramycin, and amikacin were compared in 196 gentamicin-resistant Gram-negative rods and in 212 similar organisms sensitive to gentamicin, mainly isolated from clinical specimens. Amikacin was the aminoglycoside most active against gentamicin-resistant organisms, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, klebsiella spp, Escherichia coli, Proteus spp, Providencia spp, and...
