Multidrug Resistant and Extensively Drug Resistant Bacteria: A Study
Background and Objective. Antimicrobial resistance is now a major challenge to clinicians for treating patients. Hence, this short term study was undertaken to detect the incidence of multidrug-resistant (MDR), extensively drug-resistant (XDR), and pandrug-resistant (PDR) bacterial isolates in a tertiary care hospital. Material and Methods. The clinical samples were cultured and bacterial strai...
متن کاملProspects for Success in Inhibiting the Growth of Multidrug-resistant Bacteria with Paromomycin
Streptomyces is the most important bacterial genus known to produce secondary antibiotic compounds. Considering the speed of bacterial resistance spread, it becomes more important to study less used compounds. Aminoglycosides disrupt the function of the target microorganism by acting on the protein-synthesis process. Paromomycin is an aminoglycoside that acts on a wide range of gram-positive, g...
متن کاملmultidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis
multidrug-resistant (mdr) and extensively drug-resistant (xdr) tuberculosis (tb) are increasing globally. treatment options for these patients are very limited. although treatment of these patients with standardized regimen is associated with high mortality and morbidity, rational usage of new drugs might be promising. in this study we will review epidemiology of xdr-tb and tdr-tb in iran and t...
متن کاملMultidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis (TB) can usually be treated with a course of four standard, or first-line, anti-TB drugs. If these are misused or mismanaged (that is, when drugs are taken in the wrong combination, are fewer than those prescribed, or are taken in insufficient doses or not at the proper time), multidrugresistant TB (MDR-TB) can develop. MDR-TB is a form of disease resistant to the most important an...
متن کاملMultidrug-Resistant Bacteria in Southeastern Austria
To the Editor: In many parts of the world, the proportions of methicil-lin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant en-terococci, and extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)–producing organisms in the family Enterobacteriaceae have increased remarkably during recent years (1). However, proportions of antimicrobial drug resistance vary substantially at national and regional leve...
