Abstract Background Routine administration of antibacterials in patients with Covid-19 has been a subject debate, no solid data about the true prevalence respiratory coinfections different geographic areas. The aim current study was to identify admitted hospital and its genetic resistance pattern using multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results included 40 patients, 32 males (80%) 8 (20...

Cilj istraživanja: ovoga rada je utvrditi osjetljivost bakterija koje najčešće izazivaju lokalizirane infekcije u KBC Split tijekom 2020. godine na pojedine topikalne antimikrobne lijekove kako bi se ustanovilo koji od testiranih antibiotika najbolji izbor za empirijsko liječenje ovih infekcija. Materijali i metode: Retrospektivnim istraživanjem analizirani su podatci o osjetljivosti (aminoglik...

BACKGROUND Gram negative infection is a major determinant of morbidity and survival. Traditional teaching suggests that burn wound infections in different centres are caused by differing sets of causative organisms. This study established whether Gram-negative burn wound isolates associated to clinical wound infection differ between burn centres. METHODS Studies investigating adult hospitalis...

Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) are of global concern in this present era and white coats play an important role the transmission HAIs. The most common healthcare-associated bacteria Enterococcus species, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumanni, Pseudomonas aeruginosa Enterobacter species (ESKAPE bugs). These capable surviving on which could act as fomites p...

Acinetobacter baumanni is known as a worldwide emerging nosocomial infections and it is classified as one of the six dangerous microorganisms by Diseases Society of America. Multi drug-resistant strains of A. baumannii have been reported in recent decades, which may be a result of the high use of antimicrobial agents. Colistin is the last form of treatment against this organism. The presence of...

AIM To determine the effect of aminoglycoside cycling in six tertiary intensive care units (ICU) on the rates of sepsis, aminoglycoside resistance patterns, antibiotic consumption, and costs. METHODS This was a prospective longitudinal interventional study that measured the effect of change from first-line gentamicin usage (February 2002-February 2003) to amikacin usage (February 2003-Februar...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Sepsis is a major worldwide cause of morbidity and mortality. Most sepsis epidemiologic data are from the Western literature. Sparse data from India describe the epidemiology of infection rather than sepsis which is a host response to infection. This study describes the epidemiology of sepsis in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of an Indian tertiary care hospital. SUBJECTS AN...

BACKGROUND The clonal spread of multiple drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii is an emerging problem in China. We analysed the molecular epidemiology of Acinetobacter baumanni isolates at three teaching hospitals and investigated the risk factors, clinical features, and outcomes of hospital-acquired pneumonia caused by extensive drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (XDRAB) infection in Guan...

Introduction and Aim: The ability of Acinetobacter baumannii to form biofilms on biotic abiotic surfaces is regulated by several pathogens’ virulence factors, this thought be at the root bacteria's resistance antibiotics. We hope learn how temperature, pH, iron concentrations influence development in A. isolated from COVID-19 non-COVID-19 individuals, which genes are relevant for biofilm format...
