Aim of the study was to screen antimicrobial activity pyrimidine derivative 3-[2-(1-naphthyl)-2-oxoethyl]-6-bromoquinazoline-4(3H)-oh with laboratory cipher VMA–13–06 in relation pathogenic and opportunistic flora. Material methods. Antimicrobial established vitro against strains Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumonia, Streptococcus pyogenes, Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter baumannii Citro...

BACKGROUND The prevalence of microorganisms causing community-acquired pneumonia in patients who required admission to hospital was investigated and the percentage of cases whose aetiology remained unknown due to the study design and logistical problems estimated. METHODS Between January 1991 and April 1993 all patients with community-acquired pneumonia admitted to six hospitals were included...

OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency of community-acquired respiratory pathogens with special focus on atypical organisms in patients presenting to a tertiary care facility with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). METHODS The descriptive study on adult patients was conducted from February 2007 to March 2008 at the Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi. It comprised 124 consenting patients of ...

Abstract Background Streptococcus pneumoniae is the main aetiological agent in bacterial pneumonia, making it an essential component of respiratory multiplex PCR panels. Despite its relevance, test results are difficult to interpret due frequent non-pathogenic colonization on mucosal surface upper airways. Methods A retrospective study was conducted for lytA-gene as target S. hospitalized patie...

objectives in this study, we explored a physical method of converting drug-resistant bacteria to drug-sensitive ones. materials and methods this is an in vitro case-control study, performed at the ionizing and non-ionizing radiation protection research center (inirprc), shiraz university of medical sciences (sums), shiraz, iran in 2014. all experiments were carried out using gram-negative bacte...

BACKGROUND The diagnosis and antimicrobial treatment of pneumonia in African children in the absence of diagnostic means such as x-ray facilities or microbiological laboratories relies primarily on clinical symptoms presented by the patients. In order to assess the spectrum of bacterial pathogens, blood cultures were performed in children fulfilling the clinical criteria of pneumonia. METHODS...

Studies on community acquired pneumonia in the United States in patients over the age of 65 years have shown that Gram negative bacilli account for an appreciable proportion of cases, in addition to usual pathogens such as Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae. There have been no reports of community acquired pneumonia in the elderly in the United Kingdom. We undertook such a stud...

Streptococcus pneumoniae is a pathogenic bacterium found most commonly in the respiratory tract of humans and is a common cause of pneumonia and bacterial meningitis. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of six S. pneumoniae strains: CCUG 1350, CCUG 7206, CCUG 11780, CCUG 33774, CCUG 35180, and CCUG 35272.

We have analyzed genetically three clinical isolates (3180, 3870, and 1244) of Streptococcus pneumoniae with high-level ciprofloxacin resistance. Isolates 3180 and 3870 were atypical because of their insolubility in deoxycholate. However, they hybridized specifically with pneumococcal autolysin and pneumolysin gene probes and have typical pneumococcal atpC and atpA gene sequences. Analysis of t...
