The aim of the present study was to understand seasonal occurrence and diversity species meropenem-resistant bacteria in Gumuncheon river receiving effluents from a pharmaceutical industry Seoul, Korea.Water samples were collected Kyoung-gi province during winter (January), spring (April), summer (August), fall (November) 2018. Water plated triplicate on tryptic soy agar plates containing 16 mg...

In the recent years, issues related to drug-resistant bacteria have evolved worldwide, and various countermeasures been taken control their spread. Among a wide variety of bacterial species, carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, including Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAb), are those for which particularly important. Carbapenems last resort antibiotics any infection;...

Bacterial pathogens that are multi-drug resistant compromise the effectiveness of treatment when they are the causative agents of infectious disease. These multi-drug resistance mechanisms allow bacteria to survive in the presence of clinically useful antimicrobial agents, thus reducing the efficacy of chemotherapy towards infectious disease. Importantly, active multi-drug efflux is a major mec...

OBJECTIVE To describe the bacterial bio-burden of open-treated wounds and make comparisons with bite wounds. DESIGN Retrospective multicentre study. SAMPLE Microbial culture between 2011 and 2013 from open-treated wounds in dogs and cats (initiation of therapy n=88, follow-up n=52) were compared to those from bite wounds (n=184). PROCEDURES Bacteria were identified and tested for antibiot...

High antibiotic resistance frequencies have become a major public health issue. The decrease in new antibiotics' production, combined with increasing frequencies of multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria, cause substantial limitations in treatment options for some bacterial infections. To diminish overall resistance, and especially the occurrence of bacteria that are resistant to all antibiotics, ...

background: antibiotic resistant bacteria can be considered as a main problem in infection management. zinc oxide nanoparticles (zno nps), individually or in combination with antibiotics, can be considered as good candidates for struggling against drug resistant bacteria. methods: in this study, zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using sol-gel method in low temperature as a cost effectiv...

Introduction: Untreated Urinary tract infections accounts for 7-60% of opportunistic infections in immunocompromised hosts. Asymptomatic bacteriuria is one among the important causes of opportunistic infections in HIV seropositive. Urinary tract infections became quite alarming as isolated uropathogens exhibits high percentage resistance to almost all antibiotics. Limited data is available from...
