Urinary tract infections are one of the most commonly encountered infections in clinical practice. Due to the emergence of and increase in urinary tract bacteria that are resistant to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, penicillin, cephalosporins, and fluoroquinolones, selection of appropriate antibiotics in treatment of these infections is important. In addition, the emergence of extended-spectrum ...

RATIONALE Retroperitoneal necrotizing soft tissue infection (NSTI) is a rare but life-threatening disease. Here, we present a case of extended retroperitoneal NSTI caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli (E coli). PATIENT CONCERNS The patient complained of progressive redness, swelling, and right flank pain for 10 days, extending to the scrotum for 1 day. ...

Background Gut colonization by ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-PE) is widespread and promoted antibiotic exposure. Higher fecal abundance of ESBL-PE promotes the dissemination bacteria in environment associated with increased risk infection. Ceftriaxone temocillin are commonly used antibiotics a different activity on gut flora. Their impact has not been studied. The objective this study...

The present study aims at comparing the in-vitro susceptibility of six commercially available cephalosporin--BLI combinations with cephalosporins alone against hospital isolates of Gram negative bacilli. Gram negative bacilli, numbering 500, isolated from various clinical samples, were included in the study. The isolates were also screened for ESBL production by the methods recommended by CLSI....

conclusions our study showed that the prevalence of esbl-producing k. pneumoniae at king khalid hospital was significantly high. routine detection of esbl-producing microorganisms is required by each of the laboratory standard detection methods to control the spread of these infections and allow a proper therapeutic strategy. for detection, the phenotypic confirmatory disc diffusion test is sim...

background urinary tract infections (uti) caused by resistant bacteria are becoming more prevalent. the spread of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (esbl)-producing bacteria worldwide has become a serious public health issue among healthcare centers and in the community. drugs and many secondary metabolites from medicinal plants have proved to be economical and effective against many pathogens. ...

It is known that the period of the eclipsing binary V 505 Sgr changes, and that the changes can be explained at least partly by a light-time effect. The system is also known as a speckle binary. In this paper parameters of the third body orbit are suggested in order to explain both sets of data. Some discrepancies in the size of the orbit and radial velocity data remain. Next periastron passage...

Extended Spectrum â-lactamase (ESBL) producing multidrug resistant bacteria complicate therapeutic management and limit treatment options. Therefore, detection of ESBL-producing multidrug resistant (MDR) pathogens has a paramount importance. Between April 2009 and January 2010, a prospective study was carried out in National Public Health Laboratory with an objective to determine the status of ...
