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...

Shigellosis is one of the major causes of diarrhoea in India. The accurate estimates of morbidity and mortality due to shigellosis are lacking, though it is endemic in the country and has been reported to cause many outbreaks. The limited information available indicates Shigella to be an important food- borne pathogen in India. S. flexneri is the most common species, S. sonnei and non-agglutina...

We used hospital antibiograms to assess predominant pathogens and their patterns of in vitro antimicrobial resistance in central Illinois, USA. We found a lack of information about national guidelines for in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing and differences in interpretation among laboratories in the region.

introduction:   the resistance of pathogenic bacteria to antibiotics has now raised an issue worldwide. as the e.coli is the most common cause of urinary tract and nosocomial infections, the present study was designed to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility of e.coli in the urine culture of patients admitted to imam reza hospital in kermanshah. material and methods: for this descriptive s...

Background And Aim: Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis (SBP) is a very common complication occurring in liver cirrhotic patients. Since the last decade, there has been shift of SBP microbial flora from gram negative to positive and multidrug resistant organisms (MDR). The aim study evaluate bacteriological profile Drug resistance patterns pathogens. Methods: A retrospective was done for period 1...

Despite the enormous volume of antibiotics prescribed by pediatricians, resources to promote judicious antibiotic use are primarily limited to hospitals. The primary objective of this survey was to delineate the availability, characteristics, and perceptions of antibiograms among pediatricians. As a secondary objective, we sought to delineate the availability of other infectious diseases (ID)-r...

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...

Agrobacterium strains were isolated from five different leguminous plants viz., Pisum sativum, Sesbania rostrata, Vigna mungo, V. radita and V. ungiculata. The isolated bacteria was characterized and identified as Agrobacterium rhizogenes based on their morphological, biochemical, cultural and pathogenicity tests. Antibiogram and protein profile of isolates were also studied by disc diffusion a...

introduction: preventing and starting early treatment of infections in patients whose immunity system is weak due to malignancies like leukemia can reduce mortality. this study aimed to determine microbial and antibiotic resistance patterns in clinical samples of patients with acute leukemia to start early treatment before the results of clinical tests are known. subjects and methods: in this c...
