Objective. To detect genes encoding carbapenem resistance among Enterobacter species in a tertiary care hospital in central India. Methods. Bacterial identification of Enterobacter spp. isolates from various clinical specimens in patients admitted to intensive care units was performed by routine conventional microbial culture and biochemical tests using standard recommended techniques. Antibiot...

Groundnut paste is frequently associated with food-borne illness due to contamination traceable food handlers, processing materials as well environmental conditions and this therefore necessitated the microbiological quality examination of groundnut paste. The percentage occurrence bacteria isolates moisture content were determined using standard laboratory techniques. pastes was between range ...

The aim of this study was to analyse the qualitative composition of Gram-negative microbes, mainly of the family Enterobacteriaceae, including pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella, in the albumens and yolks and on the shells of hens' eggs, depending on their source and on the temperature and duration of their storage. A total of 375 table eggs were studied, from a large-scale poultry farm, a ...

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, hastanemiz yoğun bakım ünitesi (YBÜ)’nde mekanik ventilasyon uygulanan hastalardan alınan derin trakeal aspirat (DTA) örneklerinde üretilen mikroorganizmaların dağılımı ve antibiyotik direnç oranlarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.Materyal Metot: çalışmada Ocak 2019 – 2020 tarihleri arasında YBÜ’de yatan DTA örneklerinin mikrobiyolojik sonuçları geriye dönük olarak değerlendi...

The ongoing spread of antimicrobial resistance has complicated the treatment bacterial hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) and ventilator-associated (VAP). Gram-negative pathogens, especially those with multidrug-resistant profiles, including Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter </ns4:bold...

background nosocomial infections are generally occurring 72 hours after admittance and are not present or incubating prior to admittance. the most common nosocomial infection is urinary tract infection (uti). scanty data are available regarding the nosocomial infections in iranian teaching hospitals. the aim of the present study was to determine the frequency of symptomatic nosocomial uti, iden...

INTRODUCTION In recent decades, antimicrobial resistance has become a public health problem, particularly in cases of healthcare-associated infections. Interaction between antibiotic consumption and resistance development is of particular interest regarding Gram-negative bacilli, whose growing resistance has represented a great challenge. OBJECTIVE Assess the impact of restriction of cefepime...

OBJECTIVES The antimicrobial activity of copper surfaces against a variety of contemporary carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative bacteria representative of the most problematic nosocomial pathogens worldwide was evaluated. METHODS Twenty-four clinical isolates, comprising four of Escherichia coli, two of Enterobacter spp., eight of Klebsiella pneumoniae and five each of Pseudomonas aeruginosa...

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...
