conclusions according to the results, six strains were resistant to six or seven antibiotics and all strains were at least resistant to two antibiotics. however, for each of these resistant bacteria one bacteriophage was isolated from environmental samples, which showed the effectiveness of bacteriophages to remove clinically resistant e. coli strains. effective phages in vitro showed effective...

introduction: diseases of the dental pulp and periapical tissues are chiefly caused by microorganisms. antibiotics are used in some endodontic cases; however, successful cases can predominantly be achieved by mechanical and chemical cleaning of the canal or surgical intervention. materials & methods: the aim of this study was to determine the knowledge of general dental practitioners (gdps) in ...

Antibiotic-Resistant Pattern and Multiple Antibiotic Index of Multidrug-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus from Wound Infection Patients in a Tertiary Institution South Eastern Nigeria

The Core Elements of Outpatient Antibiotic Stewardship provides a framework for antibiotic stewardship for outpatient clinicians and facilities that routinely provide antibiotic treatment. This report augments existing guidance for other clinical settings. In 2014 and 2015, respectively, CDC released the Core Elements of Hospital Antibiotic Stewardship Programs and the Core Elements of Antibiot...

Background.  Little is known about the American public's perceptions or knowledge about antibiotic-resistant bacteria or antibiotic misuse. We hypothesized that although many people recognize antibiotic resistance as a problem, they may not understand the relationship between antibiotic consumption and selection of resistant bacteria. Methods.  We developed and tested a survey asking respondent...

Antibiotic use in food-producing animals has considerable impact on public health, especially with respect to the development and spread of antibiotic resistance. Pigs represent one of the main species in which antibiotics are frequently used for different purposes. Surveillance of antibiotic consumption and dose appropriateness, through novel approaches based on defined daily doses, is strongl...

are resistant to one of the first-line drugs (rifampicin, isoniazid, ethambutol, streptomycin).5 Resistance is emerging due to the increasing exposure of microorganisms to antimicrobial agents. Exposure of microbes to antimicrobials tempt them to develop strategies to survive in the hostile environment and become resistant. Pressure on the bacteria to mutate and become “hardy” develops due to (...
