aims: the internal unit and icu of hospitals are a suitable environment for growing of bacteria such as staphylococcus epidermidis and pseudomonas, acinetobacter. the aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of different disinfectants on bacteria isolated from the surface of hospitals in isfahan. instrument & methods: in this study, 200 samples were randomly selected from different parts of ...

This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of Extended-spectrum -lactamase (ESBL) and their antibiotic resistance patterns from clinical isolates in a university hospital. A total of One hundred and seventy-two isolates of Gram-negative were identified using Standard Laboratory Methods from various clinical specimens. Antibiotics susceptibility test was performed using disc diffusio...

In the current study, some plants were selected to screen their potential antibacterial activity. For evaluating activity, both aqueous and organic solvents) methanol acetone (were used. The tested Cymbopogon schoenanthus, Cotula cinerea, Francoeuria crispa. Agar well diffusion method was used test activity against two Gram negative (Brucella spp., Proteus spp.) three positive (Staphylococcus a...

The antibacterial activities of five antibiotics, three brands of Ofloxacins (Obenasin, Floxavid and Drovid) and two brands of Ciprofloxacins (Uroxin and Siprosan), and five commonly used disinfectants (Lysol, Dettol, Purit, Roberts and Wex-cide) against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Proteus spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus spp. and Bacillus spp. were investigated. The gro...

The aims of this study were to isolate Pseudomonas aeruginosa from dogs with otitis externa (OE), to determine the susceptibility of isolated strains to antibiotics, and to evaluate the incidence of the infection in the Ayd›n region. For this purpose, ear swab samples were obtained from 92 dogs with symptoms of OE infection and the samples were examined bacteriologically. Bacteria were isolated...

AIM To determine profiles of non-chlamydia conjunctival bacteria and their antimicrobial susceptibility from adults who underwent trachomatous trichiasis surgery in rural areas of Ethiopia. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted in rural districts in West Gojjam administrative zone. Conjunctival swabs were collected during surgery and transported using Stuart transport br...

Urinary tract infections are the most common type of healthcare-associated infection, accounting for more than 30% of infections reported by acute care hospitals. Virtually all healthcare-associated UTIs are caused by instrumentation of the urinary tract. Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) has been associated with increased morbidity, mortality, hospital cost and length of stay...

Results The total number of isolated strains was 413, 231 in 2012 and 182 in 2013. In the intensive care units 151 nosocomial infections were identified; 88 strains in the Surgical Department, 27 strains in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, 24 strains in the Department of Neurosurgery and 23 in the Orthopedic Department. 19 strains were identified in the Neurology Department and also...

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common and occasional recurrent bacterial illness with an increasing resistance to antimicrobials. Antibiotic resistance in UTI is a growing public health problem in the world including Bangladesh. The study objective was to examine the present incidence of UTIs in Bangladesh in a point period of time from January to December 2007. A retrospective data analysi...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the bacterial load and antibiotic resistance pattern of bacterial isolates obtained from (ready to cook) frozen food samples of animal origin in Dhaka, Bangladesh. METHODS A total of 20 samples of frozen ready to cook food of animal origin were purchased from different separate grocery stores in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Bacteria were isolated and identified based on the bas...
