Campylobacter jejuni is one of the most common bacterial causes of human gastroenteritis, and recent findings suggest that turkeys are an important reservoir for this organism. In this study, 80 C. jejuni isolates from eastern North Carolina were characterized for resistance to nine antimicrobials, and strain types were determined by fla typing, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) with SmaI...

Contact lens wearers are at great risk of developing microbial keratitis because of incorrect usages and unhygienic maintenance of contact lenses. Therefore, the present study was planned to provide data that will be helpful in selecting the anti-microbial to cure microbial keratitis. One hundred bacterial isolates from conjunctiva of contact lenses wearer were isolated, identified and subjecte...

The present study investigates the prevalence of antibiotic resistance among bacterial isolates from different environmental samples and determines their resistance patterns. Bacteria were isolated from the Ganges water, the intestine of Labeo rohita, soil samples from agricultural land, and clinical samples of urine, pus, and throat swab. The bacterial isolates were identified on the basis of ...

AIM The aim of this study is to identify antibiogram and heavy metal resistance pattern of Aeromonas hydrophila and Edwardsiella tarda isolated from red hybrid tilapia (Oreochromis spp.) coinfected with motile aeromonas septicemia and edwardsiellosis in four commercial fish farms. MATERIALS AND METHODS A. hydrophila and E. tarda were isolated using glutamate starch phenol red and xylose lysin...

Abstract Bacterial endophthalmitis is a rare intraocular infection, and prompt administration of intravitreal antibiotics crucial for preventing severe vision loss. The retrospective study to investigate the in vitro susceptibility vancomycin, amikacin, ceftazidime bacterial isolates specimens at tertiary referral center from January 1996 April 2019 Taiwan. Overall, 450 (49.9%) were Gram positi...

AZD0914, a new spiropyrimidinetrione bacterial DNA gyrase inhibitor with a novel mode of inhibition, has activity against bacterial species commonly cultured from patient infection specimens, including fluoroquinolone-resistant isolates. This study assessed the in vitro activity of AZD0914 against key Gram-positive and fastidious Gram-negative clinical isolates collected globally in 2013. AZD09...

Bacterial strains resistant to various antibiotic drugs are frequently encountered in clinical infections, and the rapid identification of drug-resistant strains is highly essential for clinical treatment. We developed a locked nucleic acid (LNA)-based quantitative real-time PCR (LNA-qPCR) method for the rapid detection of 13 antibiotic resistance genes and successfully used it to distinguish d...

Antibacterial activity of A. sativum was tested against gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial isolates from Urinary Tract of Indian patients, which were confirmed for resistant against commonly used antibiotics for urinary tract infections. In present study, only five quantities (10, 20, 30, 40 and 50μg) of aqueous allicin from A. sativum cloves and leaves were used, which has antibacterial...

The objective of this study was to determine the in vitro antimicrobial activity of gallium maltolate (GaM) against Rhodococcus equi. A total of 98 virulent bacterial isolates from equine clinical cases were examined, of which 19 isolates were known to be resistant to macrolides and rifampin. Isolates were cultured with various concentrations of GaM and minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) va...

Objective(s): Diabetic foot infection is one of the major complications of diabetes leading to lower limb amputations. Isolation and identification of bacteria causing diabetic foot infection, determination of antibiotic resistance, antimicrobial potential of protamine by electron microscopy and SDS-PAGE analysis, arethe aims of this study.Materials a...
