The hospital environment plays a crucial role in the chain of infection spread. Thus, there is need to attack at its weakest link as most effective way combating and/or preventing nosocomial infections. study aims assess common aerobic pathogenic bacteria different departments Jodhpur National University Dental Hospital and establish best disinfectant well disinfection procedure. A cross sectio...

Determination of the frequency of bacteria isolated from blood culture and the pattern of their antibiotic sensitivity is epidemiologically of great importance and can help choosing primary antimicrobial treatment. The aim of the current study was to determine the most common bacterial factors of blood infection and their antibiotic sensitivity in a one year period from October 2010 till the en...

Objective: This is a translational science article that discusses copper alloys as antimicrobial environmental surfaces. Bacteria die when they come in contact with copper alloys in laboratory tests. Components made of copper alloys were also found to be efficacious in a clinical trial. Background: There are indications that bacteria found on frequently touched environmental surfaces play a rol...

The influence of a mission hospital on the evolution of antibiotic resistance in coliform bacteria from a remote antibiotic-free Xhosa community and environment is described.

causes of nosocomial infections in real time. informing improvements in hospital preventive measures. If applied rapidly, such analysis can even expose the Sophisticated deployment of whole-genome sequencing revealed the weaknesses in this medical who-done-it, contamination of a ventilator that had been cleaned by thorough methods. initial transmission events. Particularly disturbing was the fa...

UNLABELLED Reports of outbreaks concerning carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative bacteria in which the main source of transmission is the hospital environment are increasing. This study describes the results of environmental sampling in a protracted polyspecies metallo-beta-lactamase GIM-1 outbreak driven by plasmids and bacterial clones of Enterobacter cloacae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a t...

conclusions the frequency of nis in this hospital was lower in comparison with other worldwide studies. however, low incidence of health care-associated infections in our study may be due to under diagnosis and underreporting of such infections by health care staff. results the incidence of nis was low (i.e. < 2%). among 16936 admitted patients in this hospital, 174 patients (79 males and 95 fe...

abstract background antibiotic resistance makes antimicrobial peptides (amps) agents an alternative for treatment of pathogenic diseases. they are isolated from various animals invertebrates, vertebrates and plants. the present study shows the electrophoretic pattern of protein and peptides from vicia faba seed and reports our first attempt to study the antibacterial activity of vicia faba seed...
