The aim of this study was to determine the antibacterial activity Cathormion umbellatum extracts against seven antibiotic-resistant bacteria. pods, leaves and branches C. were extracted with ethanol methanol. disc diffusion assay used screen broth microdilution colorimetric measure minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) bactericidal (MBC) values. result indicated that highest inhibition zone (1...

BACKGROUND Ventilator-associated pneumonia is the leading nosocomial infection in critically ill patients. The frequency of ventilator-associated pneumonia caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria has increased in recent years, and these pathogens cause most of the deaths attributable to pneumonia. The authors, therefore, evaluated factors associated with selected multidrug-resistant ventilator-a...

The emergence of clinically relevant ?-lactam-resistant bacteria poses a serious threat to human health and presents major challenge for medical treatment. How opportunistic pathogenic acquire antibiotic resistance the prevalence antibiotic-resistant in environment are still unclear. In this study, we further confirmed that selective pressure heavy metals contributes increase ampicillin-resista...

The aim of the current investigation was to look on the presence of the antibiotic resistance bacteria in natural environment in Algeria. From fresh water, multidrug resistant bacteria were harvested, and then investigated for their resistance profile and extend spectrum Beta lactamase and metallo Beta lactamase production. From isolate bacteria only Aeromonas hydrophila catch our attention, be...

Optimal therapy for infections with carbapenem resistant GNB is not well established due to the weakness of data. Patients presenting with bloodstream infections caused by multidrug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae were treated with a combination treatment. Optimal therapy for infections with carbapenem resistant Gram-negative bacteria is a serious problem in pediatric patients. We presented thr...

The Robert Koch Institute published recommendations for multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) screening of refugees on hospital admission already in October 2015 [4]. This document stated that according to the recommendations of the German Commission of Hospital Hygiene and Infection Prevention screening for multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) on hospital admission is necessary for patients com...

Antibiotics are widely used in human and veterinary medicine for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases. This practice has led to the emergence of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria in both humans and animals. The potential role that animals, particularly livestock, might play as potential reservoirs of antibiotic resistance genes has been recognized, and it is currently a cause of p...

BACKGROUND Multidrug resistant microorganisms are a growing challenge and new substances that can be useful to treat infections due to these microorganisms are needed. Silver nanoparticle may be a future option for treatment of these infections, however, the methods described in vitro to evaluate the inhibitory effect are controversial. RESULTS This study evaluated the in vitro activity of si...

Nanomaterials can assist targeted bacterial depletion in either a passive or active way to enhance inhibitory activity and reduce side effects by increasing local concentration of antibacterial agents. In this review article, we summarize the recent development field, which will promote more innovative thinking particularly focusing on treatment multidrug resistant bacteria.

The treatment of meningitis is a complex issue when it comes to multi-resistant antibiotic (ATB) bacteria, limiting the drug options that can cross blood-brain barrier and effectively reach subarachnoid space. impact on effectiveness therapeutic arsenal available, due indiscriminate use antibacterial global scale, increases chances failure initial empirical persistence despite culture targeting...
