Introduction: Intertrigo is a common disease of the skin usually caused by fungi and/or bacteria, often involving major or minor skin folds. Here, we report a case of severe, ulcerative intertrigo of all interdigital folds of both feet caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a patient with type II diabetes who acquired the infection during a trip to Senegal. Case Pres...

OBJECTIVES to assess the in vitro activity of ceftobiprole and comparators against a recent collection of Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens, in order to detect potential changes in susceptibility patterns, and to evaluate the Etest assay for ceftobiprole susceptibility testing. METHODS contemporary Gram-positive and Gram-negative isolates (excluding extended-spectrum β-lactamase-produ...

Treatment of nosocomial infections is becoming difficult due to the increasing trend of antibiotics resistance. Current knowledge on antibiotic resistance pattern is essential for appropriate therapy. We aimed to evaluate antibiotic resistance profiles in nosocomial bloodstream and urinary tract pathogens. A total of 129 blood stream and 300 urinary tract positive samples were obtained from pat...

The present study was carried out to evaluate and compare the in vitro activity of BL BLI combinations containing sulbactam and tazobactam. Drugs evaluated include ceftazidime+sulbactam (Zydotum) ceftazidime+tazobactam (Combitaz), cefoperazone+sulbactam (Sulprazon), pipercillin+tazobactam (Tazocin) and ceftazidime (C-ZID) alone against gram-negative organisms obtained from different clinical sp...

Introduction Epidural abscess is a suppurative fluid collection in the epidural space that, if not treated promptly, may result in severe consequences. It is caused most commonly by Staphylococcus aureus followed by Gram negative bacilli, streptococcus species, and coagulase negative staphylococci. 1,2 A rare case of recurrent epidural abscess caused by an unusual pathogen, Propionibacterium ac...

AIM In this study, we aim to determine the microbiological etiology in critically ill neurosurgical patients with nosocomial meningitis (NM) and show the impact of Gram-negative rods and differences of patient's characteristics, clinical and prognostic measures between Gram-negative and Gram-positive meningitis. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this prospective, one center study we reviewed all adult ...

The objective of this study was to estimate heritabilities for and genetic correlations among different pathogen-specific mastitis traits. The traits were unspecific mastitis, which is all mastitis treatments regardless of the causative pathogen as well as mastitis caused by Streptococcus dysgalactiae, Escherichia coli, coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS), Staphylococcus aureus and Streptoco...
