Introduction. Children are among the most vulnerable population groups to contract illnesses. The varying microbiological pattern of septicemia warrants the need for an ongoing review of the causative organisms and their antimicrobial susceptibility pattern. Therefore, the objective of this study was to document the bacterial etiology of childhood septicemia and its antibiotic susceptibility pr...

The objective of this study was to develop a decision tree to evaluate the economic impact of different durations of intramammary treatment for the first case of mild or moderate clinical mastitis (CM) occurring in early lactation with various scenarios of pathogen distributions and use of on-farm culture. The tree included 2 decision and 3 probability events. The first decision evaluated use o...

Pseudomonas stutzeri is a Gram-negative bacterium that has been accounted for as causative specialist of certain diseases. It cause pneumonia, meningitis, visual disease, osteomyelitis and joint Thus, this species could be considered an opportunistic but rare pathogen. In addition, possess extensive variety resistance mechanisms against diverse group antibiotics

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 :   imipenem-resistant gram negative bacteria, resulting from metallo-beta-lactamase (mbls)-producing strains have been reported to be among the important causes of nosocomial infections and of serious therapeutic problem worldwide. because of their broad range, potent carbapenemase activity and resistance to inhibitors, these enzymes can confer resistance to almost all beta-lactams....

background and objectives: patients at intensive-care-unit (icu) are at risk of acquiring nosocomial infections which contributes to higher rates. approximately 25% of all hospital infections and 90% of outbreaks occur in icus. multi-resistant gram-negative rods are important pathogens in icus, causing high rate of mortality. the purpose of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial resist...

Abstract Background The role of intestinal microbiota in the pathogenesis late-onset sepsis (LOS) preterm infants is largely unexplored but could provide opportunities for microbiota-targeted preventive and therapeutic strategies. We hypothesized that composition changes before onset sepsis, with causative bacteria are isolated later blood culture. Methods This multicenter case-control study in...

During the last two decades, various medicinal plants have been studied for their possible antimicrobial activity to discover new antimicrobial agents capable of resolving problems such as the development of drug resistance in pathogenic microorganisms as well as the side effects of some present antibiotics. In this study, the antibacterial activity of methanolic extract of T. pubescens (rich i...

Vibrio cholerae, a Gram-negative pathogen autochthonous to the aquatic environment, is the causative agent of cholera. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of V. cholerae G4222, a clinical isolate from South Africa.

Flavobacterium columnare is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, motile, and highly prevalent fish pathogen causing columnaris disease in freshwater fish worldwide. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of F. columnare strain ATCC 49512.
