The genus Stenotrophomonas (Gammaproteobacteria) has a broad environmental distribution. Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is its best known species because it is a globally emerging, multidrug-resistant (MDR), opportunistic pathogen. Members of this species are known to display high genetic, ecological and phenotypic diversity, forming the so-called S. maltophilia complex (Smc). Heterogeneous resis...

Metallo beta lactamases (MBL) are enzymes that have wide spread of activity and they confer a high level of resistance to all b-lactams including carbapenem, except aztreonam [1]. MBLs require divalent zinc ion for their enzymatic activity which is not diminished by serine b lactamase inhibitors like salbactam, tazobactam, clavulinic acid etc but is inhibited by metal chelators like EDTA and th...

Based on data from the Directorate General of Mineral and Coal, Ministry Energy Resources, in 2017, there are 9,353 Mining Business Licenses (MBL) with 9,074 MBLs entered DG Coal database. Of these, 6,565 passed CnC requirements, while remaining 2,509 were categorized as non-CnC. The focus problems studied are: (1) What is Direction Changes Government Policy Sector? (2) relationship between Fre...

Sir, The worldwide emergence of carbapenemases is a major health issue leaving clinicians with few treatment options. Implementation of infection prevention and control (IPC) procedures relies on early detection of carbapenemase producers and distinction from other carbapenem resistance mechanisms. Various carbapenem hydrolysis methods allow detection of carbapenemase activity but do not differ...

Objectives This study compared full-arch screw-retained implant-supported fixed dental prostheses (FSI-FDPs) and telescopic-retained with a professional retrieval system (FTI-FDPs) on marginal bone loss (MBL), the risk indicators peri-implantitis rate after 7–13 years. Material methods Sixty five edentulous patients were treated 86 592 implants. The FSI-FDP group comprised 26 (32 prostheses, 20...

metallo β-lactamases (mbls) producing pseudomonas aeruginosa ( p. aeruginosa ) isolates are becoming an escalating global threat. among the antibiotics used to treat infections associated with p. aeruginosa , resistance to carbapenem is a serious therapeutic challenge. the aim of the present study was to detect mbl-producing p. aeruginosa and to evaluate the extracts of urtica. dioica , carum. ...

Objective: In addition to assessing the phenotypic development of biofilms and beta-lactamases, in current study, Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from intensive care units (ICU) patients with prevalent drug resistance are being evaluated. Methods: Standard CLSI recommended protocols were utilized detect beta-lactamases such as extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL), metallo beta-lactamase (MBL),...
