Multidrug-Resistant Pathogens in Hospitalized Syrian Children
Since 2013, wounded and ill children from Syria have received treatment in Israel. Screening cultures indicated that multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens colonized 89 (83%) of 107 children. For 58% of MDR infections, the pathogen was similar to that identified during screening. MDR screening of these children is valuable for purposes of isolation and treatment.
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...
متن کاملMelioidosis in Tsunami Survivors
To the Editor: A tsunami devastated coastal areas of the Indian Ocean rim in December 2004. Of the affected countries, more than half of the ≈300,000 deaths occurred in the Aceh Province of Indonesia, close to the epicenter of the earthquake near northern Sumatra. Infrastructure, including medical and laboratory facilities, in this region was severely damaged. Of >1,000,000 survivors, >500,000 ...
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 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...
