An easy and rapid microwave-assisted green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was carried out using aqueous bark extract of arjuna and their antibacterial and anti-biofilm potential was investigated. The AgNPs were characterized by various techniques .The FTIR data revealed the presence of plant organic constituents and metabolites bound to TA-AgNPs, which contributes for their stability...

Background and Objective: Salmonella typhi infection occurs in most endemic areas. Patients suspected of typhoid fever located in the Badda and Shantinagar localities of Dhaka were the studied population. A total of 107 blood specimens were collected. This study attempted to determine the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of Salmonella typhi among different age and gender groups having clinica...

The aim of the present study evaluates antibacterial activity garlic extracts on isolates Acinetobacter. A total 100 strains were collected from various samples at MGM hospital in Kamothe, Navi Mumbai. susceptibilities to different antibiotics tested by using Kirby Bauer agar disk diffusion method. Seventy-nine per cent isolated showed resistance least 14 or more and all are multidrug resistant...

However, our approach could be used in contexts with a higher prevalence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis than Tanzania because both the eff ect on the level of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis diagnosed and...

BACKGROUND Lower respiratory tract infections are among important causes of morbidity and mortality for all age groups. The emergence of multidrug resistant Gram-negative bacilli is an issue of increasing concern. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study including respiratory specimens (sputum and BAL) was conducted in our tertiary care centre. Samples were processed for microscopy, cultur...

Multidrug-resistant Enterococci colonizing the intestinal tract of patients are major sources infection as well spread resistance. The present study aims to determine antimicrobial resistance profile Enterococcus species from admitted laboratory Yaounde Military Hospital. was conducted in July November 2020. Stool samples were collected and processed for bacterial isolation susceptibility testi...

Background: Of all enterococci species, the most renowned clinically as multidrug-resistant pathogens are Enterococcus faecium and faecalis. Vancomycin-resistant (VRE) species principal cause of opportunistic hospital-acquired infections, due to numerous resistance mechanisms. Methods: In this study, prevalence antibiotic profiles VRE according clinical sources from three selected hospitals in ...
