Background: The isolation of the TEM gene in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli and the antibiotic resistance pattern provides useful information on the epidemiology and factors involved in these infections. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate antibiotic resistance and abundance of a beta-lactamase gene (TEM) in P.aeruginosa and E.coli isolated from clinical specimens by the po...

patients and methods in this retrospective study, all urine samples of children hospitalized with urinary tract infection (288 patients, aged 1mon -14.5 years) during october 2008 to may 2011 were included in the study. after bacteria were identified by standard methods, antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using a panel of antimicrobial agents. results the most of patients were g...

Background: Infections with resistance bacteria threatens the effectiveness of antibiotic treatment with increased morbidity, mortality and hospital costs. Rapid emergence of multi-drug resistance necessitates monitoring microbial isolates with their resistance pattern. During 2015-16, this study conducted in Square hospital ICU to see pattern of pathogens, their antimicrobial resistance and pr...

Introduction: Extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli generate a major problem for clinical therapeutics and epidemiological study. The incidence of ESBL producing strains among clinical isolates has been steadily increasing during the past few years, and remains an important cause of failure of therapy with cephalosporins. The aim of this study was to determine the a...

UNLABELLED Backgroun and Objective: Resistance to multiple antimicrobials is the major cause of debility and death due to infectious diseases around the world. Our objective was to determine the frequency and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of aerobic microbial isolates in a clinical laboratory. METHODOLOGY All culture specimens of tissue, pus, urine, bone, blood, fluid, stool, sputum, a...

PURPOSE The goal of this study was to characterize the patterns of antimicrobial resistance and virulence genes in samples of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) isolated from periodontitis patients. METHODS From July 2015 to August 2015, oral saliva was collected from a total of 112 patients diagnosed with periodontitis, including 80 outpatients in dental hospitals and 32 patients in dental cl...

conclusions the clinical klebsiella strains isolated from lahore region, pakistan exhibited resistance to most commonly used antibiotics, which can be a serious threat to public health. the study reported some potential actinomycetes strains, which exhibit promising activity against multidrug resistant klebsiella strains. results the isolated klebsiella strains showed resistance against most of...

Isolates of Staphylococcus aureus from bovine clinical and subclinical mastitis were tested for ß-lactamase production and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern. Beta-lactamase production was assessed by penicillin-phenol red acidometric test. Antimicrobial susceptibility was tested by measuring MIC by Resazurin dye broth microdilution method. Forty per cent of isolates tested were positive for ...

resistance to oxyimino cephalosporins antibiotics in enterobacteriaceae is primarily done by the extended spectrum β-lactamases (esbls). clear identification of risk factors for esbl-producing infections is necessary. therefore, efficient strategies can be developed to decrease outbreak of these infections. the aim of this study was to determine the antibacterial susceptibility and esbls patter...
