Objective: We wanted to look at the antibiotic resistance patterns in our university teaching hospital for E. coli cultured from urine to assess the resistance profiles to common antibiotics used in the hospital. Patients and methods: Results were obtained of all positive urine cultures between January 2007 and December 2011 both from the hospital and urology department. Trends in susceptibilit...

The use of antibiotics in animal husbandry has long been associated with the appearance of antibiotic resistance and virulence factor determinants. Nonetheless, the number of cases of human infection involving resistant or virulent microorganisms that originate in farms is increasing. While many antibiotics have been banned as dietary supplements in some countries, other additives thought to be...

In this study we evaluated the multi drug resistant strains of Escherichia coli isolated from urinary tract infection in different age groups in Namakkal. Totally 153 isolates of E.coli were obtained from 700 urine samples. Present study indicates that there is a high prevalence of multidrug resistant E. coli in female 24.34% followed by male 18.14%. After confirmation, isolates were performed ...

Over the past few decades, antibiotic resistant bacteria have become increasingly common in clinical settings and are now a major global public health concern. Wildlife may aid in the dissemination of antibiotic resistant (AR) bacteria and AR genes. Herring Gulls may be particularly important reservoirs of AR bacteria because they forage and roost at humanmodified settings where they may obtain...

Emerging multidrug resistant bacterial infections are burning public health concerns worldwide. There is an urgent need to explore alternative antimicrobial agents for effective management of bacterial infections. Garlic (Allium sativum) has been traditionally used for the treatment of different diseases since ancient times. The present study aims to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of aqueo...

Periodized strength training refers to varying the training program at regular time intervals in an attempt to bring about optimal resistance gains. The main aim of this paper was to present a short review of the diferent aspects of training periodization and its effects with performance. as well as the differential effect of alternate periodization models on other populations, and specially th...

This study aimed to investigate the distributions and changing trends of pathogens of urinary tract infection in recent years in order to provide a theoretical basis for the rational clinical application of antibiotics. We collected 182 strains of pathogens isolated from patients with urinary tract infection for identification and drugsusceptibility analysis. Among all the pathogens isolated, 1...

Several large studies in Europe and the USA revealed that approximately 10% of all newly diagnosed patients harbour HIV-1 variants with at least one major resistance-associated mutation. In this review we discuss the underlying mechanisms that drive the evolution of drug-resistant viruses after transmission to the new host. In a comprehensive literature search 12 papers describing the evolution...
