Urinary tract infections are gaining much importance among community acquired infections. Poor personal hygiene may act as a contributory factor in such frequent developing countries. The condition becomes serious with antimicrobial resistance uropathogens. Specifically, surge of Extended Spectrum beta Lactamase (ESBL) producers poses concern the available treatment options. Present work was ai...

The aim was to describe the results of a developmental screening test in a cohort of 30 children attending 3 day-care centers in the city of São Paulo and develop hypotheses about these results. Thirty children were evaluated three times, during two years, by using the DDST. In the gross motor area the results improved (Tests of the Signs, 1st to the 3rd evaluation, p= 0.038*). There was a rela...

Aims: The aim of the study was to determine antimicrobial susceptibility Klebsiella species, prevalence Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBLs) and gene coding ESBL production in Species obtained from clinical specimens patients attending Plateau State Specialist Jos University Teaching Hospitals both North Central Nigeria.
 Study Design: This hospital based conducted Department Medical ...

Background and Objectives: AmpC β-lactamase producing Escherichia coli has emerged in hospital environments as an important health issue that is of a global concern drug-resistant pathogenic bacteria evolved into strains are resistant to many classes antibiotics. However, awareness the prevalence microorganisms such E. could be very valuable for achieving more accurate epidemiological results, ...

conclusions a high prevalence of multiple β-lactamase production was observed among the ampc producers (60%), of which the majority co-produced ampc and mbl. the current study results showed correlation between β-lactamase production and the presence of antibiotic resistance genes in the isolates. results all isolates were multidrug resistant. ampc, esbl and mbl production were observed in 35 (...
