Bacterial and Viral Infections -- Essentials of Glycobiology -- NCBI Bookshelf

Infectious diseases remain a major cause of death, disability, and social and economic disorder for millions of people throughout the world. Poverty, poor access to health care, human migration, emerging disease agents, and antibiotic resistance all contribute to the expanding impact of infectious diseases. Prevention and treatment strategies for infectious diseases derive from a thorough under...

Pattern of Bacterial and Fungal Infections in Neutropenic Pediatric Patients

Backgrounds: Neutropenia can be associated with life-threatening infections. Gram negative and staphylococcal infections are the most common pathogens. The spectrum of bacterial isolates has changed considerably over the past four decades. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the pattern of bacterial and fungal infections in neutropenic pediatric patients. Methods: A non-randomize...

Laboratory Diagnosis of Nosocomial Bacterial Infections Using Standard Methods

Background and objective: Implementation of standard methods for accurate detection of bacteria, correct antibiotic susceptibility testing and effective treatment of bacterial infections play important roles in development of public health and prevention of drug resistance. This study aimed to detect bacteria using standard methods and compare the results with the results obtained in teaching h...
