The aim of the present study evaluates antibacterial activity garlic extracts on isolates Acinetobacter. A total 100 strains were collected from various samples at MGM hospital in Kamothe, Navi Mumbai. susceptibilities to different antibiotics tested by using Kirby Bauer agar disk diffusion method. Seventy-nine per cent isolated showed resistance least 14 or more and all are multidrug resistant...

www.thelancet.com/lancetgh Vol 3 February 2015 e83 transmission of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, mainly because we were modelling a setting with low multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. However, our approach could be used in contexts with a higher prevalence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis than Tanzania because both the eff ect on the level of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis diagnosed and...

BACKGROUND Lower respiratory tract infections are among important causes of morbidity and mortality for all age groups. The emergence of multidrug resistant Gram-negative bacilli is an issue of increasing concern. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study including respiratory specimens (sputum and BAL) was conducted in our tertiary care centre. Samples were processed for microscopy, cultur...

Multidrug-resistant Enterococci colonizing the intestinal tract of patients are major sources infection as well spread resistance. The present study aims to determine antimicrobial resistance profile Enterococcus species from admitted laboratory Yaounde Military Hospital. was conducted in July November 2020. Stool samples were collected and processed for bacterial isolation susceptibility testi...

Background: Of all enterococci species, the most renowned clinically as multidrug-resistant pathogens are Enterococcus faecium and faecalis. Vancomycin-resistant (VRE) species principal cause of opportunistic hospital-acquired infections, due to numerous resistance mechanisms. Methods: In this study, prevalence antibiotic profiles VRE according clinical sources from three selected hospitals in ...

To evaluate multidrug-resistant strains of Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium, including definitive type 104 (DT104) in the United States, we reviewed data from the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS). In 1997 to 1998, 703 (25%) of 2,767 serotyped Salmonella isolates received at NARMS were S. Typhimurium; antimicrobial susceptibility testing and phage typing were c...

Multidrug resistant tuberculosis has been a challenging situation in the clinical practice with respect to appropriate clinical treatment and management of the disease. The likelihood of resistance development is known to be lower in lesions with lesser percentages of the bacterial population. The present paper was designed to present a rare case of pulmonary multidrug resistant tuberculosis wi...

Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), defined as being resistant to at least rifampicin and isoniazid, has an increasing burden and threatens TB control. Diagnosis is limited and usually delayed while treatment is long lasting, toxic and poorly effective. MDR-TB management in scarce-resource settings is demanding however it is feasible and extremely necessary. In these settings, cure rates...
