Identification And Speciation Of Acinetobacter And Their Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing
Acinetobacter has emerged as an important nosocomial pathogen. Although obvious in nature, it is commonly seen in hospital environment causing many outbreaks of diseases. A study was conducted in which a total of 4696samples, out of which 536 were nonfermenters, among these 200 Acinetobacter isolates were isolated. Speciation was done which showed Acb complex 156 (78%), A. lwoffii 25 (12.5%), A...
متن کاملIdentification of Candida spp. by phenotypic tests and PCR
The correct identification of Candida species is of great importance, as it presents prognostic and therapeutical significance, allowing an early and appropriate antifungical therapy. The purpose of this study was to identify isolates of Candida spp. from oral mucosa of 38 patients with oral candidosis evaluated in 2004 by phenotypic methods and PCR, discriminating C. albicans from the other Ca...
متن کاملStudy on phenotypic characteristics of Salmonella gallinarum and Sallmonella pullorum isolates based on biochemical and antimicrobial susceptibility tests in Iran
Salmonellosis is a very important disease of avian species because of its huge economic impact, worldwide distribution and difficulty posed in its control. Fowl typhoid and pullorum disease, is caused by Salmonella enterica subsp enterica serovar Gallinarum biovar Gallinarum and Pullorum. The purpose of this study was to investigate the biochemical characteristics and antimicrobial susceptibili...
متن کاملVentilator Associated Pneumonia by Acinetobacter baumannii And antimicrobial susceptibility pattern
Background: Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) is one of the serious complications of ventilator support occurring in ICUs. The aim of this study was to determine the susceptibility pattern of Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) isolated from patients with VAP by two methods: disk diffusion and E. test. Methods: This descriptive-cross sectional study was conducted in the four ICUs of Ras...
متن کاملAntimicrobial susceptibility testing of Acinetobacter spp. by NCCLS broth microdilution and disk diffusion methods.
Although both broth microdilution (BMD) and disk diffusion (DD) are listed by NCCLS as acceptable methods for testing Acinetobacter spp. for antimicrobial susceptibility, few studies have compared the results generated by the two methods. We tested 196 isolates of Acinetobacter spp. from nine U.S. hospitals and from the Centers for Disease Control culture collection by using BMD and DD and clin...
