to study the putative transfer of antibiotic resistance from broiler breeders to human, hen’s eggs and theirday-old chicks were examined for the presence of bacteria. the most frequently isolated organisms indecreasing order were: streptococcus spp., bacillus spp., staphylococcus spp., klebsiella spp., enterobacterspp. and escherichia coli followed by citrobacter spp., proteus spp. and pseudomo...

The activity of cefoperazone, a new broad-spectrum cephalosporin, was tested in vitro against 670 clinical isolates of gram-negative bacilli and gram-positive cocci. With the exception of Enterobacter spp., it inhibited the majority of all organisms tested at a concentration of 6.25 microgram/ml. Of particular interest is its good activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates which are usual...

Kon K. 2015. Prevalence of multidrug resistant bacteria in General Surgery Hospital, Ukraine. Nusantara Bioscience 7: 102106. Rising antibiotic resistance is a serious concern worldwide and during prescribing antibiotic treatment it is important to know general and regional tendencies in spread of multidrug resistant strains. The aim of the present study was to evaluate regional specificity of ...

The in vitro activity of a new investigational cephalosporin, Ro 13-9904, was compared with those of four cephalosporins (cephalothin, cefamandole, cefoxitin, and moxalactam), five semisynthetic penicillins (mezlocillin, piperacillin, carbenicillin, ticarcillin, and azlocillin), and the aminoglycoside tobramycin. Ro 13-9904 inhibited 75% of all isolates of Enterobacteriaceae at a concentration ...

The activity of azlocillin and mezlocillin, new semisynthetic ureido penicillins, was investigated and compared with that of other known beta-lactam antibiotics. At a concentration of 25 mug/ml, azlocillin inhibited 74% of Enterobacter, 97% of Proteus mirabilis, 64% of Citrobacter, 91% of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and 82% of Bacteroides strains tested. Mezlocillin inhibited 86% of Shigella, 96% o...

Urinary tract infection is one of the most serious infectious disease in world , This study aimed to isolate and diagnose bacteria that cause UTI then evaluate its ability form a biofilm. 100 urine samples were collected for group patients attending Al-Diwaniyah Teaching Hospital, who confirmed have at different ages. The results showed presence bacteria. Escherichia coli proteus spp all sample...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to review bacterial isolates from cases of urinary tract infection (UTI) and their antimicrobial susceptibility pattern for the years 2005-2007 in St Kitts. It is hoped that the study will be of use in the treatment of cases of UTI in St Kitts. METHODS The laboratory records at St Francis Hospital, Basseterre, St Kitts, for bacterial isolates from cases ...

Results The highest prevalence Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria in both wards were similar as Pseudomonas aeruginosa (20.99 and 15.17%) and Staphylococcus aureus (13.12 and 12.16%), respectively. Although the prevalence of multiple drug resistant (MDR) strains of Acinetobacter baumannii showed no differrence (59.09 vs 60.53%) in both wards, the prevelence of MDR P. aeruginosa and methic...

Blood samples from 2542 clinically diagnosed cases of septicemia were processed. Out of these 946 (76.55%) were from Pediatric Department and rest from other Departments. Growth was obtained in 509(20.02%) cases . Candida spp were isolated from 23 (4.57 ) cases Out of 486 bacterial isolates 52.67 % were gram positive bacteria whereas 47.33% were gram negative bacilli . Staph aureus 133 (27.37%)...

A cross-sectional hospital-based study of 259 children aged < 5 years was carried out in Tikrit, Iraq, to identify the prevalence of nosocomial diarrhoea and sources of contamination in the ward environment. Nosocomial diarrhoea was diagnosed in 84 children (32.4%). Children with diarrhoea were more likely than unaffected children to be bottle-fed, given unboiled water, to have unclean food con...
