Common bacterial pathogens and resistance to antibiotics

Bacterial resistance: changing patterns of some common pathogens.

Antimicrobial Resistance Among Common Bacterial Pathogens in South Western Nigeria

The phenomenal increase in antibiotic resistant bacterial pathogens calls for regular review of antimicrobial sensitivity pattern among bacteria of clinical significance in an environment. This study was conducted to determine the common clinically significant bacterial pathogens in this environment and their antimicrobial susceptibility pattern. Bacterial pathogens isolated from various clinic...

Analysis of some common pathogens and their drug resistance to antibiotics

OBJECTIVE To investigate the common bacterial resistance of clinical isolates in our hospital in the second half of 2011. METHODOLOGY Pathogens isolated from clinical samples in the second half of 2011 were analyzed and categorized to perform susceptibility tests. RESULTS In the gram-negative bacteria, Enterobacteriaceae and non-fermenting gram-negative bacilli accounted for 55.89% and 34.5...

Assessment of Susceptibility to Five Common Antibiotics and Their Resistance Pattern in Clinical Enterococcus Isolates

Background & Objective: Enterococcus Species are the common cause of nosocomial infections, which are highly resistant to ...

Dielectrophoretic assay of bacterial resistance to antibiotics.

The dielectrophoretic collection spectra of antibiotic-sensitive and antibiotic-resistant strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis have been determined. These indicate that in the absence of antibiotic treatment there is a strong similarity between the dielectric properties of sensitive and resistant strains, and that there is a significant difference between the sensitive strains before and after...
