Background and Aim: Dairy products, especially cheese, are a suitable environment for the growth of pathogenic bacteria that cause disease after being transmitted to humans. Escherichia coli is one of the microbial agents in traditional cheese that causes human disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the contamination rate of traditional cheeses with E.coli and to determine their antibio...

UNLABELLED Upper respiratory tract infections are the most common causes of medical visits in children and adults, demanding massive use of antibiotics. Bacterial resistance caused by beta-lactamase is one of the most serious problems in this matter. Sultamicillin, a double pro-drug of Ampicillin/Sulbactan, is a potent beta-lactamase inhibitor which can face this challenge. AIM Evaluate effic...

Background: The use of antibiotics is one the procedures in treatment infectious diseases. Antibiotics are given to kill or inhibit growth bacteria within host’s system. Inappropriate may lead antibiotic resistance where can resist effect drugs. Objective: purpose this study was determine pattern and out-patients at Pakem Health Center, Yogyakarta. Method: This employed a descriptive research d...

BACKGROUND Amoxicillin is a commonly used antibiotic which has a short half-life in human. The frequent administration of amoxicillin is often required to keep the plasma drug level in an effective range. The short dosing interval of amoxicillin could also cause some side effects and drug resistance, and impair its therapeutic efficacy and patients' compliance. Therefore, a three-pulse release ...

The inappropriate use of antibiotics contributes to the development resistant bacteria and has a significant influence on treatment failure. increasing rapid spread ABR (Antibiotic Resistance) become big issue through worldwide during past few decades. main objective is identify most prescribing in clinical practice. To evaluate pattern for different microbial infection. It prospective observat...

OBJECTIVE This study examined the antimicrobial resistance profile and the prevalence of resistance genes in Bacteroides spp. and Parabacteroides distasonis strains isolated from children's intestinal microbiota. METHODS The susceptibility of these bacteria to 10 antimicrobials was determined using an agar dilution method. β-lactamase activity was assessed by hydrolysis of the chromogenic cep...

Surveillance of Helicobacter pylori antimicrobial susceptibility reflecting the general population in Japan is limited. The antimicrobial susceptibilities of 3,707 H. pylori strains isolated from gastric mucosa samples of previously untreated patients diagnosed with gastroduodenal diseases at 36 medical facilities located throughout Japan between October 2002 and September 2005 were evaluated. ...

With the emergence of multidrug-resistant organisms, combining medicinal plants with synthetic or orthodox medicines against resistant bacteria becomes necessary. In this study, interactions between methanolic extract of Acacia mearnsii and eight antibiotics were investigated by agar diffusion and checkerboard assays. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of all the antibiotics ranged be...

Acute gastroenteritis is a common infection among the children. The present study was conducted to study the bacterial pathogens in paediatric diarrhoeas and their antibiotic resistance pattern. Stool samples were collected between January 2012 to December 2012. A total of 118 patients with diarrhoea who were under five years of age. Stool samples were inoculated, isolated and identified using ...
