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 ...

background nosocomial infections including infections of surgical wounds, urinary tract and lower respiratory tract infections are a major public health problem in hospitals worldwide. bacterial infections in the lower respiratory tract especially due to gram negative bacilli, has remained a major complication of tracheal intubation in patients requiring ventilator equipments. objectives the ai...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are of the most common bacterial diseases worldwide. We investigate the antibiotic susceptibility patterns of Escherichia coli (E. coli) strains isolated from pediatric patients with community acquired urinary tract infection (UTI) to find a clinical guidance for choosing a right empirical antibiotic in these patients. MATERIALS AND ME...

The gut microbiota plays a vital role in host well-being and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have gained an overwhelming attention as health promoter. This perception has evolved from traditional dairy products to a money-spinning market of probiotics. The safety of probiotics is coupled to their intended use and LAB may act as pool of antimicrobial resistance genes that could be transferred to path...

background: nosocomial infections are one of the most important medical problems in developed and under developing countries which cause the spread of infections diseases in society. pseudomonas aeroginosa is one of the most important causes of hospital infections, especially in wounds from operated patients. increase in antibiotic-resistance of pseudomonas aeroginosa cause a lot of problems fo...

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are common in children, particularly among infants. Early diagnosis and comprehensive treatment of pediatric UTI can significantly reduce late serious complications. Knowledge of the sensitivity and resistance pattern of uropathogens in specific geographical locations is an important factor for choosing the appropriate chemotherapeutic treatment. The present work...

The emergence of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has posed a serious therapeutic challenge. We report the prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility pattern of MRSA in the hospitalized patients in a rural tertiary care hospital in India. The study comprised of 97 Staphylococcus aureus isolated from a total of 400 clinical samples obtained from hospitalized patients. Antibiotic ...

Background: The species belonging to the genus Acinetobacter are currently reported as opportunistic pathogens and shows multidrug resistance in hospitalized patients. The aim of this study was to isolate the clinical Acinetobacter species from NFGNB (Non Fermentative Gram Negative Bacilli) other than Pseudomonas and analyze their antibiogram (antibiotic susceptibility) patterns. This study hel...

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...

This study determined the prevalence of urinary tract infections in the Sudanese state of Khartoum and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of isolated bacterial species. 200 adult patient urine specimens were collected and cultivated to identify the growing bacteria and their susceptibility to antibiotics. 35 % of specimens had significant bacterial growth. The most frequent isolates in this s...
