Burn injury and wound is a pig problem that assists the pathogens to grow cause infection. 149 burninjury swabs were taken from different site of patients’ body ages (11-53 years old). All samples weretested isolate sigificant microorganisms found in burn injury. Antibiotics test was performed byusing disc diffusion way stated by Kirby-Baucer. Results appeared most frequent pathogen inburn Pseu...

Acinetobacter baumannii is one of the ESKAPE pathogens which are leading cause nosocomial infections throughout world. The aim this study to detect role Some Proteins in Resistance imipenem. research included collection 100 different clinical specimens of( urine, burns, and wounds) isolated from patients Al-Diwaniyah Teaching Hospital for period September December 2021. 20 isolates out belongin...

BACKGROUND Antimicrobial surveillance is important for providing an up-to-date understanding of the epidemiology of antimicrobial resistance and for creating a forum for rational drug development. In this study, we analyzed antimicrobial test data generated in 2011 by hospitals and commercial laboratories participating in the Korean Nationwide Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance program (K...

The opportunistic pathogen, E. Cloacae has been reported to carry carbapenemas genes worldwide. Our objective was assessing the association of antibiotic resistance, integron class I and carbapenemase among Cloacae. Herein, 200 were collected identified. resistance them evaluated using Kirby Bauer method. existence integron, investigated polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Of isolates collected, 1...

background and objectives: acinetobacter causes a wide variety of illness in debilitated and hospitalized patients. carbapenem resistance in acinetobacter is an emerging problem and is a cause of concern as many nosocomial infections with acinetobacter are resistant to most other antibiotics. the present study was aimed to study metallo-β-lactamase (mbl) production in acinetobacter species. mat...

PURPOSE Antimicrobial resistance monitoring could be a useful source of information for treating and controlling nosocomial infections. We analyzed antimicrobial resistance data generated by Korean Hospitals and by a commercial laboratory in 2005 and 2007. MATERIALS AND METHODS Susceptibility data for 2005 and 2007 were collected from 37 and 41 hospitals, respectively, and from one commercial...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The oprD mutation and AmpC overproduction are the main mechanisms of intrinsic resistance to carbapenems such as imipenem and meropenem in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, we investigated intrinsic resistance to carbapenems including mutation of oprD and AmpC overproduction in a carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa isolated from a burn patie...

UNLABELLED Development of antibiotic resistance in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) is a worldwide problem. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of an antibiotic stewardship program (ASP) by carbapenems restriction on gram-negative antimicrobial resistance in ICU. The study was designed in a 21 bedded general ICU of a teaching hospital with two wings (one and two) in Tehran, Iran. Ca...

BACKGROUND Doripenem is the most recently introduced antimicrobial agent of the carbapenem class. It is a valuable therapeutic option in the context of increasing antimicrobial resistance to imipenem and meropenem among gram-negative bacilli (GNB) clinical isolates. However, clinicians are usually reluctant to prescribe doripenem, because susceptibility to doripenem is not automatically reporte...

background & objectives: pseudomonas aeruginosais one of the most important causes of nosocomial infections particularly in immunodeficient patients. several antibiotics such as betalactams, aminoglycosides and quinolones are used for the treatment of infections caused by this organism, but the prevalence of multidrug resistant strains has been reported frequently. beta lactamase production is ...
