The aim of the present study was to investigate the antimicrobial susceptibility of a collection of 65 Prevotella strains originating from Romanian patients with abscesses of fascial spaces of the face and neck. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of benzylpenicillin, cefoxitin, clindamycin and metronidazole were determined with the Etest. In addition, the beta-lactamase production was assess...

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is well recognized as a major cause of nosocomial infections worldwide and is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates with rapid development of resistance. MRSA has become established outside the hospital environment and is now appearing in community populations without identifiable risk factors. The traditional treatment for infecti...

Pendahuluan: Meningkatnya penggunaan antibiotika yang tidak rasional menyebabkan berkembangnya masalah resistensi obat anti infeksi. Perkembangan perilaku mikroorganisme luar biasa pesatnya melalui berbagai mekanisme telah melahirkan strain resisten, toleran dan persisten, antara lain, Multi Drug Resistant (MDR), Extended Strain Betalactamase, MDR-Tuberkulosis Methicillin Staphylococcus aureus....

Background: Extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBLs) are betalactamase capable of conferring bacterial resistance to the first, second and third-generation Cephalosporin’s but these inhibited by inhibitors such as clavulanic acid. The ESBLs typically plasmidmediated enzymes, mostly produced E. coli Klebsiella pneumonia Enterobacteriaceae family. enzymes were discovered in Germany 1983 from pneu...

Nhiễm khuẩn huyết (NKH) là một bệnh nhiễm toàn thân nặng. Căn nguyên NKH chủ yếu do vi (VK) gram âm gây ra. Sự lan tràn các chủng VK đa kháng sinh (MDR) đã dẫn tới nhiều thách thức trong việc lựa chọn (KS) phù hợp và hạn chế liệu pháp điều trị hiệu quả. Đối tượng phương nghiên cứu: Thiết kế cứu mô tả cắt ngang nhằm xác định tỷ lệ mức độ KS của chúng tại Bệnh viện khoa tỉnh Bắc Ninh năm 2022. Kế...

Phylogenetic analyses of molecular data require a quantitative model for how sequences evolve. Traditionally, the details of the site-specific selection that governs sequence evolution are not known a priori, making it challenging to create evolutionary models that adequately capture the heterogeneity of selection at different sites. However, recent advances in high-throughput experiments have ...
