Numerous reports have appeared in the literature pertaining to laboratory studies of compounds that will inhibit microbial growth. The inhibitors that were found to be effective have been used in attempts to control microbial deterioration of various materials. These inhibitors have not functioned properly in some instances, and the investigators that reported these compounds to be effective ha...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the pattern of vancomycin administration in the hematology-oncology ward of Nemazee Hospital, Shiraz, Iran. Study criteria were developed to assess the several parameters involved in vancomycin therapy. These parameters include the appropriateness of drug usage, dosage, duration of therapy, monitoring for toxicity and serum concentration monitoring. ...

contact lens wearers are at great risk of developing microbial keratitis because of incorrect usages and unhygienic maintenance of contact lenses. therefore, the present study was planned to provide data that will be helpful in selecting the anti-microbial to cure microbial keratitis. one hundred bacterial isolates from conjunctiva of contact lenses wearer were isolated, identified and subjecte...

The Microbiological Criteria (MC) is a set of parameters used to determine whether a specific lot of food is acceptable or not. These parameters are the microbial test protocol and its sensitivity, the confidence level that an unacceptable lot will be detected, the number of samples to be taken and the number of positive samples that are allowed before rejecting the lot. Determining the microbi...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cause of cancer death in the western world. An effective screening program leading to early detection of disease would severely reduce the mortality of CRC. Alterations in the gut microbiota have been linked to CRC, but the potential of microbial markers for use in CRC screening has been largely unstudied. We used a nested case-control study of ...

OBJECTIVES The present study was undertaken to assess the antibiotic susceptibility patterns of Pseudomonas aeruginosa at a tertiary care hospital in Gujarat, India. Due to significant changes in microbial genetic ecology, as a result of indiscriminate use of anti-microbials, the spread of anti-microbial resistance is now a global problem. MATERIALS AND METHODS Out of 276 culture positive sam...
