BACKGROUND Antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus including methicillin-resistant strains (MRSA) are a major concern in densely populated urban areas. Initial studies of S. aureus in Nigeria indicated existence of antibiotic-resistant S. aureus strains in clinical and community settings. METHODS 73 biological samples (40 throat, 23 nasal, 10 wound) were collected from patients and healthc...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most important pathogens that causes nosocomial infections and shows high level of antibiotic resistance. Integrons are one of the transposable elements in bacteria and their role in antibiotic resistance has been well demonstrated. The aim of this study was a molecular characterization of the integron genes and the determination of the resistance or sensiti...

Antibiotics have long been used for the prevention and treatment of common diseases prophylactic purposes in dairy animals. However, recent decades it has become a matter concern due to widespread belief that there an abuse or misuse these drugs animals this led presence residues derived foods, such as milk products.

In this century, one of the major public health problems is Antimicrobial resistance (AMR). It threatens effective treatment and prevention an ever-increasing range infections caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi which are no longer susceptible to common medicines used treat them so it leads prolonged hospital stays, high medical costs, increased mortality rate. recent years issue has ...

The treatment of Staphylococcus aureus skin and soft tissue infections faces several challenges, such as the increased incidence antibiotic-resistant strains fact that antibiotics available to treat methicillin-resistant S. present low bioavailability, are not easily metabolized, cause severe secondary effects. Moreover, besides susceptibility pattern isolates detected in vitro, during patient ...

Purpose: When scalp infection occurs after craniectomy and cranioplasty, it tends to be recurrent fatal. The can spread the underlying tissue when skull is not present act as a barrier, eventually leading epidural abscesses encephalitis. In such cases of widespread infection, reconstruction defect surgical debridement infected great challenge for plastic neurosurgeons.Methods: Six patients with...
