The present study was done to detect the antibiotic resistance in S. pneumoniae. One hundred twenty S. pneumoniae isolates from clinical specimens and 50 from nasopharyngeal sites were subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing by Kirby Bauer disk diffusion method and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determination for penicillin and cefotaxime non-susceptible isolates. A total of 2...

In this study, out of 50 isolates some nosocomial infections from Baghdad hospitals, only 13 (26%) were identified as Escherichia coli. Depending on selective media, morphological and biochemical tests the species was then confirmed by molecular methods. Later antimicrobial resistance test performed Kirby-Bauer method. The characterization blaTEM blaCTX-M genes in different clinical E. coli don...

Background: The emergence and propagation of different phylogenetic groups of antimicrobial-resistant E. coli have become a worldwide health concern in human and veterinary medicine. Therefore, the evaluation of the phylogenetic distribution of antibiotic-resistant E. coli is important for therapeutic and economic purposes. The aims of this study were to determine phylogenetic groups and patter...

background: escherichia coli (ecoli) has been considered as the most common agent of urinary tract infection in all regions. recently, increased drug resistance has been lead to some problems in treatment related diseases. so, evaluation of resistance patterns of bacteria in each region could be a valuable guide for empirical treatment. methods: all referred urine sample to kermanshah central l...

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a common and sometimes fatal complication in pediatric intensive care units (PICU). The aim of our study was to characterize the distribution and drug susceptibility of the pathogens isolated from the sputum of patients with VAP in the PICU of our hospital and to provide support to the administration of antibiotics early and reasonably in the clinic. Our...

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a common bacterial pathogen causes wide range of infections all over the world. The antimicrobial resistance K. global concern and expresses several virulence factors contributing to pathogenesis. incidences co-infection in viral pneumonia are common. Increased risk respiratory tract infection should be alerted COVID-19 pandemic period. study aims detect association bet...

Group housing of preweaned dairy calves is a growing practice in the United States. The objective of this practice is to increase the average daily gain of calves in a healthy and humane environment while reducing labor requirements. However, feeding protocols, commingling of calves, and occurrence of disease in different calf-housing systems may affect the prevalence of antimicrobial drug-resi...

Over the years, zoonotic bacteria of genus Salmonella, have acquired antimicrobial resistance properties, with a wide variety genes and resistance-mediating mutations being identified. This study isolated characterized multiple drug resistant Salmonella species from abattoir wastewaters in Abia State, Nigeria. Seven hundred wastewater samples three abattoirs: Aba (300), Ubakala (250) Lokpa (150...
