Background: Increasing rates of antibiotic resistance have made it necessary to regularly monitor susceptibility patterns gram negative bacterial uropathogens in order optimize therapy for urinary tract infections. The aim this study was analyze the Gram-negative Babcock University Teaching Hospital, Ilishan-Remo, southwest Nigeria.
 Methodology: This a retrospective review Medical Microbi...

Background: Wound infection is a highly common problem in hospital settings, where microbes are often resistant and difficult to treat due rapid exposure antibiotics. While treating wound infection, bacteria enter the deep tissue; as therapy needs long time, have sufficient time develop biofilm, which makes them much more Objectives: The current study was performed identify wound-infecting dete...

BACKGROUND Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) causes a serious health problem and affects millions of people worldwide. Patients with obstetric fistula usually suffer from incontinence of urine and stool, which can predispose them to frequent infections of the urinary tract. Therefore the aim of this study was to determine the etiologic agents, drug resistance pattern of the isolates and associated ...

BACKGROUND Medicinal plants are considered new resources for producing agents that could act as alternatives to antibiotics in the treatment of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of 28 plant extracts and oils against four Gram-negative bacterial species. METHODS Experimental, in vitro, evaluation of the activities of 28 plant extrac...

Multidrug-resistant infectious diseases are one of the top causes death and morbidity among hospitalized patients worldwide. Objective: This study’s aim was to assess frequency common bacterial pathogens, as well their antibiotic sensitivity & resistance, in various Intensive care unit tertiary hospitals. Methods: The current investigation conducted from February May 2021 multiple ICU at a ...

BACKGROUND Purple urine-bag syndrome (PUBS) is a rare phenomenon in which the contents of urine bags turn purple or blue following patient catheterization. The condition often causes care givers tremendous distress. We investigated the prevalence and possible causes of PUBS for a group of elderly patients. METHODS A total of 157 patients featuring urine catheterization, 13 of whom exhibiting ...

BACKGROUND The treatment of complicated urinary tract infections may require the use of a parenteral antibiotic with potent activity against the most common urinary pathogens. Ertapenem is a broad-spectrum 1beta-methyl carbapenem with a long plasma half-life that allows administration of a single daily dose. METHODS The purpose of this work was to test the in vitro susceptibility to ertapenem...

Temocillin is relatively more stable against most β-lactamases and requires re-evaluation to include it in common clinical practice as a therapeutic alternative. At the National Reference Laboratory of Nepal, we evaluated multidrug resistance (MDR) and extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) phenotypes among 292 gram-negative clinical bacterial isolates of 18 different genera during 2009/2010 by K...

Bloodstream infections are associated with significant patient morbidity and mortality worldwide. In this study, we examined antimicrobial susceptibility patterns by reviewing the data on 5,704 blood samples that were collected from patients with fever/sepsis admitted to Government Medical College and Hospital, Chandigarh, India, over a period of 1 year from August 2003 to July 2004. Among the ...
