Mycobacteriosis is a chronic disease of freshwater and marine fish. In the present study, Mycobacterium fortuitum from a diseased gold fish, Carassius auratus was isolated and identified by biochemical and molecular (PCR) method. The isolate was found to be resistant to rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide and ethambutol and myoconda® a nanodrug combination of rifampicin, clarithromycin and clof...

A series of pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole derivatives of indole was synthesized by multi-component reactions using the conventional and microwave irradiation approach. Particularly valuable features of this method include high yield, broad substrate scope, shorter reaction times and straightforward procedure. Antimicrobial screening of the synthesized derivatives against eight human pathogens, namely B...

Recent studies have questioned treatment of serious methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections with vancomycin because of treatment failures, despite vancomycin MICs in the susceptible category (MIC 2 g/ml) (2, 3, 5, 6, 7). Some of these studies have used broth microdilution for determining vancomycin MICs (5), while others have used the Etest commercial product (AB Biodisk, S...
