helicobacter pylori is an important human pathogen and a gram-negative, spiral shaped and microaerophilic bacteria with persistence colonization in gastric mucosa, causes gastroduodenal inflammation and destruction, resulting in diseases such as duodenal ulcer disease, gastric ulcer disease. when h.pylori discovered by warren and marshall, effective therapy developed for this infection and resu...

antibiotic resistance of pseudomonas aeruginosa remains a major problem in burn patients. the main objective of this study was to determine the antibiotic resistance pattern and frequency of class 1 integrons among p. aeruginosa strains isolated from patients with burn wound infections in a new burn centre in guilan, iran.the bacterial isolates were collected from 182 patients with burn wound i...

Antimicrobial resistance has increased dramatically in the past 15 to 20 yrs and presents a patient safety concern unlike any other in the intensive care unit. Antimicrobial resistance in critically ill patients increases morbidity, mortality, length of hospital stay, and healthcare costs. Some organisms may have intrinsically high levels of resistance or may be spread between patients by poor ...

Introduction Staphylococcus aureus including methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) has the propensity to form biofilms, and causes significant mortality and morbidity in the patients with wounds. Our aim was to study the in vitro biofilm-forming ability of S. aureus isolated from wounds of hospitalized patients and their association with antimicrobial resistance. Materials and methods Forty-...

BACKGROUND Antimicrobial resistance among bacteria pathogens is a world-wide issue. The antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of common pathogenic bacteria are essential to guide empirical and pathogen-specific therapy; unfortunately, these data are scarse in Cameroon. OBJECTIVE To determine the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of Gram-negative bacilli isolated in Yaounde Central Hospita...

tional trade of food products and live animals. Large international corporations may also affect international trade. For example, McDonald’s Corporation has issued a global policy for antimicrobial drug use in food animals that specifies requirements for their food product suppliers. Local groceries or supermarkets may also impose their own standards nationally. We are aware of only 1 product ...

Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance is an increasing problem worldwide as well as in our country. Surprisingly there is little formal data on the subject from India. Emergence of multidrug resistance has limited the therapeutic options; monitoring resistance is of paramount importance. Aims: To find Multidrug resistance in commonly isolated organisms. Changes in antibiotic Resistance pattern...

ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Article history: Received 10 March 2012 Accepted 25 June 2012 Available online 18 July 2012 The aim of this study was to determine the resistance rates of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) to various antimicrobial agents. The agar disk diffusion method (Kirby Bauer) was used to determine the sensitivity of H. pylori isolates to various antimicrobials. Of the 61 H. pylori iso...
