Resistance to oxyimino cephalosporins antibiotics in Enterobacteriaceae is primarily done by the extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs). Clear identification of risk factors for ESBLs-producing infections is necessary. Therefore, efficient strategies can be developed to decrease outbreak of these infections. The aim of this study was to determine the antibacterial susceptibility and ESBLs patte...

manganese oxide nanoparticles (mn3o4-nps) were prepared using precipitation method. the prepared nanoparticles were characterized by a number of techniques, including x-ray diffraction (xrd) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (sem), transmission electron microscopy (tem) and fourier transforms infra red (ft-ir) spectroscopy. the xrd pattern showed that the structure of mn3o4-nps was tetrago...

background and objectives: klebsiella pneumoniae , one of the important causes of nosocomial infections, is the most common extended spectrum β-lactamases (esbls) producing organism. esbls are defined as the enzymes capable of hydrolyzing oxyimino-cephalosporins, monobactams and carbapenems. the aims of this study were to identify esbl-producing k. pneumoniae isolates and detect their antibioti...

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...

Background: Coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS), once considered as non-pathogenic commensal of skin and mucus membrane have emerged as important pathogen. Aim: The aim of this study is to determine species of CoNS and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of species obtained from various clinical specimens. Materials and Methods: A total of 79 Coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS) isolate...

Mycobacterium malmoense is an opportunistic pathogen with increasingly recognized clinical importance. It is mainly isolated in northern Europe and Great Britain, most often from patients with pulmonary infections. Conventional therapy of M. malmoense infections with antituberculosis drugs is often of limited value, and there is thus a need for improved drug regimens. The potential efficacies o...

Septicemia is one of the most life threatening problems and a major cause morbidity mortality particularly in neonates children. The current research was carried out on identification antibiotics susceptibility pattern pathogens responsible for septicemia. A total 121 samples were collected from septicemia suspected infants admitted lady Reading Hospital (LRH), Peshawar, Pakistan. Among samples...

In this nationwide study we investigated the occurrence of aminoglycoside resistance patterns and prevalence of the aminoglycoside modifying enzymes (AMEs), aac(6), ant(2) and aph(3), in clinical isolates of Acinetobacter species, E. coli, Klebsiella species and Pseudomonas species isolates from various clinical specimens. A total of 319 clinical specimens recovered from urine, blood, wound, ca...

     Staphylococcus aureus is a major bacterial pathogen that causes different community- and hospital-acquired infections. Over time, strains of S. aureus have become resistant to different antibiotics including penicillinase-resistant penicillins. Having data on the local antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of this pathogen is necessary for selection of appropriate...
