Antimicrobial agents are used in both veterinary and human medicine. The intensive use of antimicrobials in animals may promote the fixation of antimicrobial resistance genes in bacteria, which may be zoonotic or capable to transfer these genes to human-adapted pathogens or to human gut microbiota via direct contact, food or the environment. This review summarizes the current knowledge of the u...

conclusions only a few number of health workers do respect hygiene rules before and after catheterization. therefore, it is necessary to train health workers involved in such activities on good hygiene practices during catheterization. results two days later, (48 hours after the catheterization), 14 patients out of 60 (23.33%) presented with a urinary infection, of which 1 patient (1.66%) was a...

Background & Aims: Utility of antibiotics, such as third and fourth generation of cephalosporins and carbapenems, and resistance to these antibiotics in hospital acquired infections are increased. There are scientific data that support the application of Tazocin (piperacillin-tazobactam) as an empirical treatment of moderate to severe bacterial infections. In our area there is not much informat...

background: neonatal septicemia is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. the most common pathogens of bacterial sepsis and antibiotic sensitivity patterns may vary in different areas of the world. understanding the etiology of bacteriological profiles is very important and helps to reduce the associated mortality. the aim of this study was to assess prevalence of bacterial and antibiot...

Some isolates of bacteria were taken from various places inside the hospital, including operating theaters,corridors, ventilation areas, floors, and other samples patients suffering antibioticresistance.The study aims to discover multiple resistant present in hospital environment, theextent their resistance, detect gene NDM-1, NDM-2, which when they are present, bacteriaare highly resistant.Whe...

AIMS We assessed the levels of airborne bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria (GNB), and fungi in six hospital lobbies, and investigated the environmental and hospital characteristics that affected the airborne microorganism levels. METHODS An Andersen single-stage sampler equipped with appropriate nutrition plate agar was used to collect the samples. The three types of microorganisms were repeate...
