Orthopaedic infections are associated with a high morbidity, often requires an aggressive antibiotic therapy. Bone infections remmains a serious therapeutic challenge and increasing resistance has complicated the management of infections. Delayed or ineffective treatment causes significant morbidity in terms of pain, loss of function and the need for further surgery and antibiotics. To study th...

Background: The antibiotic resistance is considered as one of the biggest public health concerns in most countries. The aim of this study was to determine antibiotic resistance pattern of Escherichia coli isolated from chickens with colibacillosis in Yazd, Iran. Methods: A total of 200 carcasses of Ross chickens with colibacillosis were collected from farms located around Yazd, central Iran. A...

Majority of gram negative pathogenic bacteria are responsible for extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) production, which show resistance to some newer generation of antibiotics. The study was aimed at evaluating the prevalence of ESBL and antibiotic susceptibility pattern of Pseudomonas isolates collected during 2010 to 2014 from tertiary care hospitals of Peshawar, Pakistan. Out of 3450 samp...

background extended-spectrum β-lactamase (esbl)-producing klebsiella pneumonia has become widespread in hospitals and is increasing in community settings. most of k. pneumonia that harbor these enzymes, display resistance to other unrelated antimicrobial agents and thus, often pose a therapeutic dilemma. objectives this study was conducted to determine the prevalence of esbl-producing k. pneumo...

BACKGROUND Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS), especially Staphylococcus epidermidis, are considered as normal flora of human epithelia and also important opportunistic pathogens for nosocomial infections. S. epidermidis can also act as a reservoir for mecA, responsible for high-level resistance to methicillin and transferring it to S. aureus. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to dete...
