OBJECTIVE To determine a correlation of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of sitafloxacin determined by agar dilution method with inhibition zone diameter of sitafloxacin determined by disk diffusion method, and to determine inhibition zone, diameter breakpoints of sitafloxacin against resistant gram-negative bacilli isolated from Thai patients. MATERIAL AND METHOD The study bacteria wer...

The present study aims at comparing the in-vitro susceptibility of six commercially available cephalosporin--BLI combinations with cephalosporins alone against hospital isolates of Gram negative bacilli. Gram negative bacilli, numbering 500, isolated from various clinical samples, were included in the study. The isolates were also screened for ESBL production by the methods recommended by CLSI....

OBJECTIVE To compare the in vitro efficacy of meropenem, colistin and tigecycline against extended spectrum Betalactamase producing Gram negative bacilli by minimal inhibitory concentration. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional descriptive study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Department of Microbiology, Army Medical College, National University of Sciences and Technology, Rawalpindi, from June to Dec...

The intestinal tract provides an important reservoir for antibiotic-resistant gram-negative bacilli, including Enterobacteriaceae species, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii. Selective pressure exerted by antibiotics plays a crucial role in the emergence and dissemination of these pathogens. Many classes of antibiotics may promote intestinal colonization by health care-associat...

Introduction: The emergence of antibiotics resistance bacteria is a persistent global problem affecting public health. occurrence and widespread to Imipenem among hospital bacterial isolates can constitute significant threat chemotherapy.
 Objectives: This cross-sectional study aimed investigate the imipenem resistant pattern gram-negative bacilli isolated from different samples in Dhaka m...

The activity of azlocillin, a new semisynthetic penicillin, was determined against 582 clinical isolates of gram-negative bacilli and gram-positive cocci. Over 75% of the isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were inhibited at a concentration of 12.5 mug or less per ml. Azlocillin is also active against indole-negative and -positive Proteus spp., inhibiting 98 and 71%, respectively, at a concentra...
