Background: Typhoid fever is a public health problem with high disease burden in India. The prevalence of multidrug resistance typhoid has nearly doubled from 1999 to 2005. against Fluoroquinlones very due indiscriminate use and an increased Azithromycin, one the first line antibiotics used being observed. This study will evaluate current trend antibiotic among cases observed tertiary care hosp...

Technical limitations restrict routine anaerobe isolation from clinical materials in resource-limited laboratories. An innovative two steps combustion candle jar technique may be suitable for such setup. This system was tried with one case of chronic osteomyelitis developed on supracondyler compound fracture. Porphyromonas spp. was isolated and identified. Vancomycin was recommended based on in...

Antibiotic resistance of heterotrophic bacteria isolated from the surface microlayer and subsurface water of downtown pond was determined. The levels of resistance of bacteria to various antibiotics differed considerably. It follows from the results that bacteria were most resistant to penicillin and sensitive to gentamycin, neomycin and oxytetracycline. Majority of bacterial strains were chara...

Seventy-five per cent of the patients undergoing cataract operation harboured microorganisms in their conjunctiva, out of which 40 per cent were pathogenic species. Preponderance of Moraxella was encountered. One third of the pathogenic microorganisms were found to be resistant to most of the antibiotics except Gentamycin. Positive conjunctival cultures were also obtained from 70% controls and ...

We tested 151 strains representing the genera Nocarclia and Gordma, the taxon ‘ Mycobacterium ’ rhodochrous and a collection of strains isolated from bagasse for their in vitro susceptibility to 52 antimicrobial agents by using the impregnated filter-paper disc method. The ‘ bagasse’ isolates were resistant to most of the antimicrobial agents but the nocardiae, gordonae and rhodochrous groups f...

Bacteriol. 88:630-632. 1964.-Antibiotics whose primary site of action is in the cell wall (penicillin and cephalothin) do not inhibit growth of L-phase organisms. In this study, kanamycin, neomycin, poly...

Unfortunately, the original version of this article [1] contained missing infromation. In the study procedures it was mentioned that samples were to be inoculated onto chocolate agar (otorrhea samples were inoculated onto chocolate agar with bacitracin), blood (with gentamycin) and MacConkey agar. Instead, the samples have been routinely plated on Columbia agar with sheep blood, colistin/nalidi...

Pounded yam is a staple food consumed in Makurdi, Benue State. The sold along major streets and roads the town, as such; it prone to bacterial contamination from different sources. study was aimed at assessing susceptibility pattern of bacteria isolated pounded Makurdi metropolis. One hundred forty (140) samples were aseptically collected seven vending sites (Wurukum, Wadata, High level, Naka r...
