to prevent post cholecystectomy infection, the most common microorganisms causing it and their antibacterial susceptibility pattern should be determined. therefore, the aim of the present study was to determine the exact incidence and nature of the microbial flora in the bile of the patients with cholelithiasis and chronic cholecystitis as well as their antibiotic sensitivity pattern. in this s...

Aim Swarming motility is a virulence factor for Proteus mirabilis and coordinated multicellular movement of bacteria. In this study, we investigated the inhibitory effect hyperthermia on bacterial swarming antimicrobial resistance.Methods Thirty-one P. isolates were included in study. Seven inoculated agar plates incubated inside incubators with increasing temperature levels: at 36 °C (control)...

A study of antimicrobial agents sensitivity using the microdilution system incorporated to identification/susceptibility of non-fermenting gram-negative of Microscan panels, was made, taking into account the breakpoints in the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). Studied strain was sensitive to most of the antibiotics tested as: cefotaxime, cefepime and piperacillin/tazobactam, g...

A Gram-negative bacillus isolated from the blood of a leukaemic patient with septicaemia was identified on the basis of common tests as Escherichia coli. However, the organism's antibiogram was atypical of E. coli and led to its re-examination and correct identification as Aeromonas hydrophila. A. hydrophila is sensitive to chloramphenicol and tetracycline, characteristics useful in differentia...

Perichondritis is a slow evolving infection, located on the ear cartilage. They result from lacerations, blunt trauma, surgeries and other affections. Ear piercing induced pinna perichondritis is a frequent affection among the young population. The most commonly found etiologic agent is Pseudomonas aeruginosa and its inoculation caused by pinna cartilage and pericondrium exposure during or afte...

Objective: Colonization of Staphylococcus aureus in the nasal flora has been proven to play an important role transmission infections. Health care workers carrying their nose or skin cross-contamination and thus result Methicillin-resistant (MRSA) related hospital-acquired community-acquired Implementation hand hygiene methods standard precautions are helpful reducing controlling spread. Screen...

background: drug resistance is widely believed to be an increasingly serious threat to global public health. we have previously reported that short term exposure of microorganisms to diagnostic ultrasound waves could significantly alter their sensitivity to antibiotics. in our previous studies, klebsiella pneumoniae showed major differences in the sensitivity to antibiotics in exposed and non-e...

The indiscriminate and injudicious administration of antibiotics and irrational treatment of bovine mastitis with different antibiotics have invited serious complications like multiple drug resistance. The present paper reports the microbiological examination and reporting of a clinical case of mastitis in cow and its recommended therapeutic management with the selected broad spectrum antibioti...
