The study reported the molecular characterization, antibiotic susceptibility profile and nature of resistance genes in multiple resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from selected hospital fomites hands health care workers Ondo, Nigeria. Various were swabbed for detection aeruginosa. Each sample was cultured separately on MacConkey Centrimide agar plates incubated 18-24h at 37oC. Pure isola...

We present a case of Mycobacterium chelonae infection after total knee arthroplasty in a 70-year-old woman. The patient underwent implant removal, drainage, debridement, and insertion of a gentamycin-load cement spacer. After 4 months, the second-stage surgery was performed. Intravenous amikacin (6 weeks) and oral clarithromycin (12 weeks) were given. At the 12-month follow-up, the patient ach...

A 20-year old Malay boy presented with abdominal and left lumbar pain together with fever of 5 days duration. Diagnosis of renal colic due to urinary tract infection was made. Antispasmodics together with intravenous ampicillin 500 mgm 6 hourly and intramuscular gentamycin 8 hourly was given. During the course of treatment the patient continued to have fever and left lumbar pain. His temperatur...

Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL) is a medical technique by which cells and fluids from bronchioles lung alveoli are withdrawn for diagnosis of disease or evaluation treatment. Patients with various pulmonary infections follow the procedure BAL as it has high sensitivity reliability in diagnosis. To examine bacterial etiology among tertiary care patients infections, cross-sectional study was conduct...

Background: The mechanism of action gentamycin is inhibiting protein synthesis inside bacteria. Meropenem and vancomycin have the same mode that inhibit bacterial cell wall activity. Antibiotic resistance occurs when antibiotic use does not follow guidelines. Therefore, this study aims to determine how vancomycin, gentamycin, meropenem are prescribed in a regional public hospital. Objective: Th...

Biological synthesis of nanoparticles is a growing innovative approach that is relatively cheaper and more environmentally friendly than current physicochemical processes. Among various microorganisms, fungi have been found to be comparatively more efficient in the synthesis of nanomaterials. In this research work, extracellular mycosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was probed by reacti...

Enterococci are common cause of hospital acquired infection and have become progressively more resistant to antibiotic. Among the 13 Enterococcus species ninety percentage of Enterococcal infection are due to Enterococcus faecalis .E. faecalis is a causative agent for nosocomial infection. The present study was carried out to asses the changing trends in antibiotic susceptibility of Enterococcu...

Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) causes a variety of acute infections in its hosts, and multidrug-resistant strains present significant challenges to public health and animal husbandry. Therefore, it is necessary to explore new drug targets to control E. coli epidemics. Previous studies have reported that ppk mutants of Burkholderia pseudomallei and Mycobacterium tuberculosis...
