Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria – A Continuous Challenge

Airborne Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria: Hospital Indoor Air Pollution and the Challenge of Nosocomial Infection

SCREENING FOR ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANT BACTERIA IN URINE SAMPLES

Chronic urinary tract infections are often caused by antibiotic resistant bacteria. In some of these cases, prediction of the most effective antibiotic (s) may urgently be needed. This can not be achieved unless the nature and patterns of the resistance to antibiotics among the pathogenic bacteria has been described earlier. The urine samples that reached the laboratory of Shaheed Mustafa K...

The Battle Against Microbial Pathogens: Basic Science, Technological Advances and Educational Programs

The occurrence and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a public health problem globally, and aquatic environments are recognized as reservoir for antibiotic-resistant bacteria associated with antibiotic resistance genes. Antibiotic resistance hotspots are found not only in medical settings but also in environmental compartments that are subjected to anthropogenic pressure, such as munici...

Increase in Antibiotic-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacterial Infections in Febrile Neutropenic Children

BACKGROUND The incidence of bacteremia caused by Gram-negative bacteria has increased recently in febrile neutropenic patients with the increase of antibiotic-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections. This study aimed to identify the distribution of causative bacteria and the proportion of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in bacteremia diagnosed in febrile neutropenic children. MATERIALS AND...

Antimicrobial Effect of Combined Extract of Three Plants Camellia Sinensis, Teucrium Polium and Piper Nigrum on Antibiotic Resistant Pathogenic Bacteria

Background and Aims: Microbial biofilms are responsible for 65% of human infections and antibiotic resistance. Therefore, finding appropriate ways to prevent infection and biofilm formation is essential. Medicinal plants are one of the suitable candidates to inhibit the antibiotics resistance particularly in biofilm forms. In this study, antimicrobial effects of T.C.P combined extracts (methano...
