CARBAPENEM RESISTANCE IN CLINICALLY SIGNIFICANT NON FERMENTING GRAM NEGATIVE BACILLI

GRAM NEGATIVE BACILLI IN BURNS

In a period of nine months, 225 strains of Gram-negative bacilli isolated from burns were identified by a variety of tests in two burn centers in Tehran. The most common species were Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter agglomerans, Enterobacter cloacae and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Many strains of acinetobacter spp, providencia spp, proteus spp, ser...

Clinical Distribution and Antibiotic Resistance Pattern of Non- Fermenting Gram Negative Bacilli

Nonfermenting Gram negative bacilli (NFGNB) emerged as important nosocomial pathogen causing opportunistic infections. Aim of the study is to detect the clinical distribution and antibiotic resistant pattern of nonfermenting Gram negative bacilli isolated from the clinical samples and to detect Mettalobeta lactamase production by multidrug resistant isolates. A total of 6284 clinical samples we...

Prevalence of Drug Resistance in Nonfermenter Gram-Negative Bacilli

  Background and Objectives: Non-fementer gram-negative bacilli (NFGB) are ubiquitous pathogen that has emerged as a major cause of health care associated infections. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of   NFGB in an Iranian hospital. Materials and Methods: FromJuly 2005 to November 2006 a total of 257 strains of NFGB including 109 (42.41%)...

Aminoglycoside Resistance in Gram-negative Bacilli

Aminoglycosides are one of the clinically relevant antibiotics. They kill bacteria by binding to bacterial 30S subunit of ribosome. Resistance to aminoglycosides occurs by three different mechanisms: 1. Production of an enzyme that modifies aminoglycosides, 2. Impaired entry of aminoglycoside into the cell by altering the OMP permeability, decreasing inner membrane transport, or active efflux, ...
