Multidrug resistant neonatal sepsis in Peshawar, Pakistan.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the spectrum of organisms causing neonatal sepsis in Peshawar, Pakistan and to assess their sensitivity to various groups of drugs. METHODS Blood taken from newborn babies admitted to the special care baby unit at the Khyber Teaching Hospital with a clinical diagnosis of neonatal sepsis was cultured. The data obtained from October 1997 to December 2000 were analysed a...
متن کاملPrevalence of Multidrug Resistant Bacteria Causing Late-Onset Neonatal Sepsis
ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 4 Number 5 (2015) pp. 172-190 http://www.ijcmas.com Neonatal sepsis is a leading cause of neonatal mortality in developing countries. Identification of the etiological agents of neonatal sepsis is essential for effective treatment. Out of 106 microbial isolates recovered from blood cultures of late onset neonatal sepsis (LONS) patients, only 70 (66 %) isolates were Gram-p...
متن کاملMultidrug-resistant tuberculosis in Rawalpindi, Pakistan.
INTRODUCTION Multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis (TB) strains are resistant to isoniazid and rifampicin. Clinical characteristics, drug susceptibility patterns, and outcomes of MDR-TB patients treated at Holy Family Hospital, Rawalpindi, Pakistan, were studied from January 2007 to April 2010. METHODOLOGY Thirty diagnosed patients (60% male and 40% female) of MDR pulmonary TB were included....
متن کاملWorldwide Endemicity of a Multidrug-Resistant Staphylococcus capitis Clone Involved in Neonatal Sepsis
A multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus capitis clone, NRCS-A, has been isolated from neonatal intensive care units in 17 countries throughout the world. S. capitis NRCS-A prevalence is high in some neonatal intensive care units in France. These data highlight the worldwide endemicity and epidemiologic relevance of this multidrug-resistant, coagulase-negative staphylococci clone.
متن کاملThe Potential Role of Fosfomycin in Neonatal Sepsis Caused by Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria.
The broad-spectrum activity of fosfomycin, including against multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains, has led to renewed interest in its use in recent years. Neonatal sepsis remains a substantial cause of morbidity and mortality at a global level, with evidence that MDR bacteria play an increasing role. The evidence for use of fosfomycin in neonatal subjects is limited. We summarise current knowledge...
