The rise in multidrug resistance is a growing public health concern among agents of respiratory tract infection, which responsible for morbidity, mortality and costs Africa. This study was designed to survey resistant bacterial pathogens patients with lower infection (LRTI) attending some hospitals Kebbi State, Nigeria. Three hundred fifty sputum samples were collected from the symptoms LRTI si...

Background: The refractory infection induced by multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa has become one of the most urgent problems in hospitals. biofilms formed P. increase its resistance to antibiotics. A simulated microgravity (SMG) environment provides a platform understand factors affecting biofilm formation bacteria. Objectives: This study aimed investigate SMG effects on MDR and ...

Abstract Multidrug resistance has been detected in the animal and zoonotic human pathogen Rhodococcus equi after mass macrolide/rifampin antibioprophylaxis endemically affected equine farms United States. Multidrug-resistant (MDR) R. emerged upon acquisition of pRErm46, a conjugative plasmid conferring to macrolides, lincosamides, streptogramins, and, as we describe, tetracycline. Phylogenomic ...

Introduction: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an ESKAPE (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, P. aeruginosa, and Enterobacter spp.) pathogen one of the leading etiologies in multiple nosocomial infections. Treatment becoming increasingly difficult due to its ever-increasing antibiotic resistance trends. This study investigated clinical multidrug...

Prompt detection of metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL) producing isolates is necessary to prevent their dissemination. Frequency of MBLs producing strains among multidrug resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter species and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was evaluated in critical care patients using imipenem-EDTA disk method. One hundred MDR Acinetobacter spp. and 42 Pseudomonas aeruginosa were checked for MBL producti...

Background: Salmonella typhi, a rod-shaped Gram-negative bacterium that stands responsible for causing typhoid fever, in places with poor sanitation and polluted water. Injudicious antibiotic practices have significantly added to the rise of multidrug-resistant (MDR) extensively drug-resistant (XDR) typhi. This study aimed determine frequency susceptibility pattern typhi blood cultures patients...

Background Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant and Escherichia coli, multidrug-resistant included in the list of antibiotic-resistant priority pathogens from WHO. As multidrug-resistant bacteria problem is increasing, it is necessary to probe new sources for identifying antimicrobial compounds. Medicinal plants represent a rich source of antimicrobial agents. One of the potential plant...

The study was performed to detect the in vitro activity of tigecycline in multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter isolates from patients in Hacettepe University Adult Hospital, Turkey. The microorganisms were isolated from clinical specimens of patients with respiratory and bloodstream infections. Thirty (66.7%) of the 45 inpatients were in ICUs. In vitro activity of imipenem, meropenem, ceftazidime,...

Abstract. Waruwu YKK, Khairullah AR, Effendi MH, Lukiswanto BS, Afnani DA, Kurniawan SC, Silaen OSM, Riwu KHP, Widodo A, Ramandinianto SC. 2023. Detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and multidrug resistance isolated from cats in animal clinic at Sidoarjo District, East Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 24: 106-111. Methicillin-resistant is the name given to strain bacteria that...

Background: Increase in antimicrobial-resistant bacteria continues to be challenge physicians. Particularly, multidrug-resistant (MDR) gram-negative bacilli (GNB), such as extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producers and carbapenem-resistant pathogens, are becoming a major human health problem globally.Current Concepts: Gram-negative have developed resistance via mechanisms encoding AmpC b...
