background: the role of the hospital environment as a source of dissemination of pathogens is critical. environmental surfaces in the intensive care units (icus) are suitable for the growth of gram-negative bacteria that normally circulate between the environment and patients and can cause outbreaks of nosocomial infections. in this study, the prevalence of gram-negative bacilli in the environm...

Background: Isolation of common pathogens involved in ocular infection and their in-vitro susceptibility to commonly used ocular antibiotics, as well as the trends in antibiotic resistance developed by these pathogens were investigated. Material/Methods: All patients with suspected bacterial ocular infections presenting between march 2010 and feb 2011 were examined under slit lamp microscope an...

This study was undertaken as an extension of two previous reports on the problem of non-sporulating, anaerobic bacilli; namely, that of Thompson and Beaver, (1931, 1932) and that of Beaver, Henthorne, and Macy (1934). The object of this research was the investigation of the morphologic, biologic, and agglutinative properties of several Gram-negative species of nonsporulating anaerobic bacilli; ...

Carbapenems are used as antibiotics of last resort for treating Background infections due to multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacilli, but emergence of Carbapenem resistant Gram-negative bacilli have been reported due to the production of Carbapenemase enzymes that significantly limits treatment options for life-threatening infections. : This study aimed to detect Carbapenem resistant Gram-neg...

Aztreonam is a new monobactam antibiotic which is highly active against aerobic Gram negative bacilli. The purpose of this study is to establish the in-vitro activity of aztreonam against recent clinical isolates of aerobic Gram negative bacilli obtained from patients at the Kuala Lumpur General Hospital. Minimum inhibitory concentrations of the antibiotic against the isolates were determined u...
